If its losing stations thats never a good thing. Hopefully the trend will change, Where I live we do not receive this station but I have alternatives, via internet TV.

I am currently watching Dallas streaming from an internet channel I get which is very cool.

Anything new on RTV? Any news? Are they gaining any stations or losing stations? It would be a shame to lose RTV because I dont like when any station goes out of business.

I think they are still losing stations.I no longer can pick it up.What is rediculous is here they did not replace it with something like Me-tv.Instead they replaced it with some nonsense station that may attract 3 viewers.

Luken owns 3 other channels, all of which appear to be more focused than RTV. Their careless attitude towards RTV has basically doomed it. Even if the channel closes shop it means little to both the owners and viewers at this point in time.

I have been reading from the blogs that WSAH will start showing ME-TV. Right now, its RTV but Im assuming they will switch to ME-TV soon. I really dont like seeing any station go out of business and I think thats whats going happen. If I was running RTV and needed a very fast, quick plan to help RTV, I would try my hardest to get acquire some "name" shows. My 3 Sons, Addams Family, The Munsters, Kojak, ALF etc. Even if I could acquire the 5 I just mentioned I would make them the anchors of RTV, which means I would make the 5 shows I mentioned the bookends of the network and sandwich all the other shows they have on now. I would try that to build an audience because it could be the end of RTV which would be a shame.

I am looking forward to Me-TV being on WSAH, as I live in CT also, in an area where the station is on my cable line-up. I heard its going to launch around January 2 or 4, although that is tentative. The only drawback is that this is a low-budget station and it will probably be half Me-TV and half infomercials because WSAH needs the money that infomercials produce. Still, half a schedule is better than none.

RTV in my area is gone it has been replaced with MeTv. But the channel goes off at 10pm at night and doesn't start again until maybe 9am or 10am not sure about the time. Channel 20 that MeTv airs on in Massachusetts is still showing paid programming on it. But I also have MeTv out of New Hampshire which goes all hours of the night which is great because I love watching the shows at that time of night.
