Chicago-based Weigel Broadcasting Co., the innovative home of MeTV and four other national television networks, is about to launch a sixth — featuring historical and factual programming supplied by A&E, History Channel and other cable networks.

Billed as Story Television Network, it will bring an impressive library of nonfiction series to broadcast television for the first time, including “Biography,” “The Men Who Built America,” “World War II in HD,” “Modern Marvels” and “Mankind: The Story of All of Us.”

will launch nationwide March 28 on stations owned by Weigel, Hearst Television, Marquee Broadcasting and Maranatha Broadcasting, among other affiliates.

Does this mean they will make Decades a full-retro television channel? They can move Through the Decades to this new channel since it fits the theme after all.

Shoot! Not coming to my area. I knew I should have taken that Evansville job offer 33 years ago...!

With all the retro channels such as METV and Decades being very popular it's finally time to have an educational channel that is good but will teach people about history. I think Story Television will become a smash hit when it debuts because a lot of people are history fans and Story will be a change for people who mainly are obsessed with sitcoms and other genres. While it may have competition with Discovery Channel and History Channel and National Geographic Channel Story will be unique in it's own way considering that it's gonna be the first history oriented antenna channel in TV history that will give Story a chance to shine. Some of the shows that might be a good fit for Story might be,
1. Nova
2. In Search Of
3. Nature
4. Ripley's Believe It Or Not
5. BBC's Planet Earth
6. Strange Universe
7. Rick Steves Europe
Bestie

Oh I know. I was just saying that on the Decades channel there is a tv show called "Through the Decades" that would fit well on this new Story TV channel. And if they move that show over, Decades can then be a fully dedicated retro tv channel.

To some extent this feels like the rebirth of what basic cable was in the 1980's. I want to make to make it clear, I'm not complaining just stating an observation. This has the feel of back in the day A&E/History Channels.

What I'd like to see is the must carry rules extended to all subchannels. I'd also like to see a consumer protection bill passed which would move all regional sports networks to their own tier so consumers would no longer be conscripted to subsidizing sports teams and leagues they have no interest in.

Most of the story programing will come from programs that been previous seen on A&E and History channel on cable.

Are they going to show TV movies?

Boston, Massachusetts, Portland, Maine, and Stamford, Connecticut, are getting this.

No sign of Memphis getting it. Doesn’t look like a channel I would have much interest in though

So what does this mean for metv plus in chicago? Right now it is on 26.5 but then this Story channel is taking over. I hope we aren't loosing it. I would prefer Metv plus then this Story channel. Does anyone know if its moving to somewhere else, and I hope it will be on a channel I get.

Look like you will have to watch MeTV + on WMEU-CD 48.4

Story TV

Well that bites. I don’t get 48.4. I figure a good channel like MeTV plus wouldn’t last a year. Oh well hopefully this Story channel ain’t bad. But it’s not looking good. Time will tell. Maybe MeTV plus will be back on a decent channel soon, not sure why they can’t replace a channel like Court tv that we get two channels of. Four in my area.

It looks like we won't be getting this because the channel is on 5.3. which is over the air here in the Boston area.

MeTV+ can now be seen in New York for free with an antenna on channels 43.2 and 33.8. Comcast/Xfinity viewers in New Jersey can view MeTV+ on channels 245 and 1187. Other cable/satellite customers, please contact your provider and ask them to carry MeTV+.

Yeah today I just lost MeTV Plus and got this Story TV channel. Not cool as I only got MeTV Plus for about six months before it bit the dust. Unbelievable. This channel just airs generic history documentaries in a non-stop binge. I doubt people prefer this over an assortment of retro tv shows. I get Start TV and Story TV but not MeTV Plus or Decades.

It's just the rebirth of the original History Channel and A&E.

I just noticed that FrndlyTV, a low cost streaming provider available in all of the US, has added MeTV and Story Television. It added the Lifetime/A&E/History channels not too long ago as well.

I didn't think Weigel would permit a national feed as streaming for MeTV, when there are local stations some full power affiliates, but it's great news nonetheless.

Decades, Start TV and Heroes&Icons will be added soon as well:
