So, it's a ME-TV clone?

Essentially, yes. But the episodes will air based on a daily historic "theme" instead of in chronological order. They will also show historic clips from CBS news and Entertainment Tonight which fit the theme.

Only 2 shows on that list that aren't common are The Millionaire and Colonel March of Scotland Yard.

The Millionaire also airs on Heroes & Icons, which is also owned by Weigel Broadcasting. I've been told the series will be coming to Me-TV in the future. The reason it's taking so long is because they're looking the right time slot for it.

The channel launched this morning, with a stunt they are calling a "Binge" marathon of The Millionaire that lasts until midnight Tuesday. This will be followed by a 26 hour marathon of The Mothers in Law. Similar marathons of Family Affair, F-Troop, and Get Smart follow over the next couple of weeks.

Are they using old syndication prints from 16mm film? Also, is there a schedule anywhere?

Sorry, I wouldn't know the difference. I got the schedule off my Tivo, but it's also on TitanTV now. It's channel 58.4 in Milwaukee.
