View Full Version : Decades to be dropped from the Boston area in September
Unbelievable. First it’s Antenna TV and now this?
Might as well drop Laff, Cozi, and MeTV or just bring back Antenna TV, put that in its place instead.
TV Guy 07-22-2018, 09:21 AM It’s not just Boston. Decades will be replaced on most of CBS’ owned-and-operated stations in September.
It will be interesting to see how much longer it lasts. The original format - where they did not have a set schedule and varied based on the year being featured - failed. The current format is no different than the other classic TV diginets, and most of the shows they feature have been running on MeTV for years. It’s not a huge loss
I liked the old format because they showed some rarities. But the current format does not.

Oh really? So it’s not doing well at all then?
TV Guy 07-23-2018, 07:55 PM My guess is that it’s not, given the format switch, and now the loss of most of the CBS O&Os.

That's too bad. Seems like it had potential as well.
treky 07-26-2018, 12:38 AM oh mo! I hope Philadelphia is one of the cities that's keeping it; I haven't heard anything. I enjoy watching ROWAN & MARTINS LAUGH-IN and THROUGH THE DECADES.
Becca3557 07-28-2018, 02:25 PM Supposedly in Philadelphia (and some other cities) it is being replaced by Start TV, which will air older CBS dramas after September 3. It is a CBS decision, not one made by FIOS. I like Decades, but the format took some getting used to. They air some good shows.
treky 07-28-2018, 04:09 PM well, like I said I haven't heard anything so I'm hoping it's not true.

biffbronson 07-28-2018, 10:40 PM They've been continuing to show some seldom-seen shows, but mainly in the early morning hours. In recent months:
Annie Oakley
Life with Elizabeth
The Loretta Young Show
Mr. and Mrs. North
Movin' On
One Happy Family
Steve Canyon
For many of these series, I don't know of any other network that's aired them in years.
