RTN/Retro Television - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Has anyone heard any news on what this network is supposedly doing in July? I know they say it's going 'national' but is it going to be available to cable/satellite also, like ION is? Or like WGN maybe? I called and asked DirecTV last month if they were adding it, the person said 'it's probably being looked in to but there's nothing to say one way or the other.'

Does this thing even have a website? Their apparent website directs to a station in Buffalo, NY. It would be nice to find a way to ask them some questions. I emailed them many months ago at an address, but now it comes back as Undeliverable when I email it again. Sounds like a mom-and-pop operation.

Thanks....I'm still confused though, because their old website at RetroTelevision.net (you can probably still go to it from the stream link) said something like "Want RTN? Call Your Cable or Satellite Provider today." I don't understand. I thought it was a BROADCAST channel?? Is it both, like ION?

Pavanbadal, do you have any light to shed on this? I'm trying to get this straight so I know whether or not to bug the daylights out of my cable company to add this.
