RTN will it ever go national and take over TVLands place? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I used to want RTN when they had the CBS shows, but now their shows are pretty boring to me. Very few sitcoms and their new acquisitions aren't really impressive for me. They were REALLY good early last year. Shame they lost all of those CBS sitcoms and even the dramas, their library (definately sitcom-wise) is much better than Universal's.

even if you don't like a lot of what they are playing, they are still doing something a lot of channels aren't--playing old shows!

I hope RTN will go national too. It will be great to see those old shows again.

I'm sure RTN will follow the path of all the other channels at some point and start showing NEWER shows

RTN is national. It will be available in 75% of homes by July 1. They are never going to be a cable channel that will air the same thing nationwide. RTN is intended to be localized for local affiliates to air what they want on primarily digital feeds.

For those of us with Direct TV it is not a national channel.

RTN (or maybe its my local affiliate) has a scheduling issue. With Battlestar, they will show the same episode three weeks apart, they will show part two of a cliffhanger without showing part one, etc. I'd like to see more comedies, especially Dennis the Menance, Our Miss Brooks, etc.

I just found RTN on my cable service, in which my local NBC affiliate also schedules a 10 PM newscast which I like. However, the channel is buried where no one can find it (it's on channel 810 on my digital system, which is the only '800' channel available - (Nick is on channel 35, TV Land is on Channel 43 - so something is wrong).

So far, I'm not that thrilled with their schedule either - there's so much 'A Team' I could take for one week - or one day.

What were the old CBS shows they aired last year?
