It gets dropped by Antenna TV and soon, right? No way they air it at basically the same time??

We just have to wait for Antenna to release their new schedule, but that didn't stop them from airing Bewitched around the same time FETV begins to air it, so I'm gonna assume that Antenna's going to keep it, regardless of it airing approximately against FETV's uncut airings.

Same with Leave it to Beaver. FETV plays it and METV does too at 8AM weekdays.

And not sure? But I think FETV plays Hazel along with Antenna TV ?

It's kind of fun when 2 channels play the same show at the same time, you can decide which episode you like better as to what channel you will watch it on that day.

I don't get FETV, but I've heard that yes episodes of other shows are uncut, but they cut to ads right in the middle of dialog.
