Here in KY, I know of two stations that still air "The Andy Griffith Show," namely WKYT in Lexington and WYMT in Hazard. I also remember "I Love Lucy" airing on KTTV up until a few years ago or so. Do any of your local stations still air these shows or any other shows I haven't mentioned? With networks such as MeTV being available, I assume the number of stations won't be that high.

I can get both Lucy and Andy on the same station, CHCH TV in Hamilton, Ontario. Starting on Tuesday, they will both be part of a killer all-morning block that will also feature "Make Room For Daddy" and "My Three Sons" and the classics continue all afternoon starting with "Bonanza" at noon and ending with "Happy Days" at 5:30 pm.

CHCH TV Schedule - Spring 2022 (https://www.tvpassport.com/tv-listings/stations/chch-hamilton-on/43/2022-02-08)

Going further south and getting closer to the border there is a channel called CFTV in Leamington, Ontario that is near Windsor, which is actually south of Detroit. It's really a public access station which means that they show a lot of community events and municipal political debates but they also have a few classic series sprinkled throughout the schedule, like "The Brady Bunch", "The Partridge Family", "Mork and Mindy", "MASH", "Wings" and even "The Courtship Of Eddie's Father" which nobody is showing at the moment.

Right across the border, the closest US city to my home is Buffalo, NY. One channel they have that is offered as an OTA channel is part of the COZI group at WBXZ (56.4). They call their station "Throwback TV". Their classic series are mainly public domain efforts that go way back to the early days of TV that would include "The Lucy Show", "Ozzie and Harriet", "The Beverly Hillbillies", "I Married Joan" and even "The Farmer's Daughter". If you live in the Buffalo area and have a strong antenna , you should give it a try and see how you like it. But I would go to CHCH first! You can get that channel in Buffalo too!

Is there anyway to get CFTV over the internet anywhere. They seem to have a live feed but it doesn’t work.

In Western PA (Pittsburgh station), I think Seinfeld is the oldest show still on. It keeps rolling along in the 11 pm timeslot, 2 episodes on the Fox affilate. Next oldest are Friends and King of Queens, both on a CW affiliate. Friends is on at noon and KOQ at 6 am. Both also play irregularly on weekends.

This is another channel that I wish I could get a live stream for but so far I have failed.
