Not including nationwide cable companies like TVLand, GoodLife etc., only small, local, independent stations that air a lot of old shows. I only know of a few, but I assume there must be others across the States. I’d be most interested in discovering others so if anybody can add to the list, please do. Here’s the 5 that I know of and what they currently air, which will probably change in a few weeks with a new fall line-up.

Most importantly, can anyone here record off any of these stations?

KDOC – Los Angeles
Cagney and Lacey, Mission Impossible, McCloud, Banacek, Columbo, Rockford Files, Kojak, Ellery Queen, Perry Mason

WBGN – Pittsburgh
Streets of San Francisco, Hawaii Five-0, Mork and Mindy, Laverne and Shirley, Carson’s Comedy Classics.

WBXH – Baton Rouge
Diff’rent Strokes, Kojak, Simon and Simon, Hawaii Five-0, I Spy and Emergency!

WFMZ – Allentown
The Fugitive, Happy Days, Laverne and Shirley, Mork and Mindy, Brady Bunch

WWME – Chicago
Love American Style, Baretta, Wild Wild West, Starsky and Hutch, Quincy M.E., Monkees, Partridge Family, Hogan’s Heroes, Taxi, The Lucy Show, What’s Happening!, Lassie, Addams Family, Lone Ranger, Green Acres, Petticoat Junction, Mork and Mindy, Odd Couple, Get Smart, Batman, Bewitched, Barney Miller etc.

Alas, WFMZ in Allentown recently changed its focus, and they are cutting back on old television in favor of more hours of religious programming. The Fugitive is still running, but Hawaii 5-0 has been dropped, among other hour-long classics. That's the second time this year we've lost good classic programming when a low-wattage station shifted to a schedule heavier on religious programming.

Low-wattage stations and independents are really becoming a thing of the past. Sigh.
