You can find a json parser for mIRC here https://github.com/SReject/JSON-For-Mirc but you need to be familiar with the json format to use it, this will guarantee correct data all the time.
As far as making assumptions, regex can be terribly good when you know them:

Thanks! That looks good. smile

However there is a small problem with the given regex and that one is that it wont work for example for shows where network is NULL and webChannel is used instead. It wont show any data in such a case. Is there an easy way to bypass this problem please?
Example:
