It introduced a new schedule on January 4th that saw Mama’s Family and The Patty Duke Show join the network. It seems to change its schedule more often than any of the others. Of all the classic TV networks in existence, I have the hardest time keeping up with Me-TV. It does air some classic TV shows, including Route 66, The Beverly Hillbillies, I Married Joan, Naked City, and Movin’ On. It debuted a new schedule on December 28th, 2015 that focuses primarily on general entertainment, health, outdoors, and wellness programming. The Family Channel (Launched December 2008)įormerly known as My Family TV, The Family Channel is co-owned by Luken Communications, the same company that operates Retro TV. Retro TV also continues to air episodes of the NBC soap opera The Doctors as well as Doctor Who and Mystery Science Theater 3000. Only The Jerry Lewis Show and Police Surgeon appear to still be airing on the network. In 2015, Retro TV added Mister Peepers, The Barbara Stanwyck Show, Police Surgeon, and The Jerry Lewis Show to its schedule. It mostly airs popular classic TV shows like Bonanza, Dragnet, The Beverly Hillbillies, and Route 66 but also airs several more recent shows in prime time ( Cold Squad and Da Vinci’s Inquest). Retro TV introduced its Winter 2016 schedule on December 28th, 2015. For example, This TV airs The Addams Family and Sea Hunt Grit airs Laramie and Zane Grey Theater and Comet airs Men into Space. However, some of them do air limited classic TV programming. These networks feature mostly movies, game shows, or primarily TV shows from the 1980s and 1990s. Not included in this overview are diginets This TV, Laff, Escape, The Works, Buzzr, Grit, or Comet. I’m kicking things off this month with “The State of Classic TV on TV: January 2016 Edition” examining the latest changes affecting diginets Retro TV, The Family Channel, Me-TV, Antenna TV, Cozi TV, getTV, Heroes & Icons, and Decades. So, I’ve decided to occasionally publish general updates with the latest information on schedules and programming additions. However, I know there is a lot of interest in these classic TV networks. It just didn’t make sense to spend so much time and energy when so few short-lived or halfway forgotten TV shows are actually airing on any of these networks. At some point, I had to stop trying to report all the schedule changes. I only get a few of them via cable or over-the-air. It’s hard to even remember how many classic TV diginets there are, let alone what shows they’re airing and when schedules are being overhauled or altered. There was a time a few years ago when I foolishly thought I could keep track of all the digital specialty networks like Antenna TV, MeTV and Cozi TV that air classic television programming. See this post for the latest schedule updates for Me-TV, Antenna TV, Cozi TV, and other diginets. [ October 10th, 2016 Update: The information in this post is outdated.
