TV Land sucks!!

[tenter]

TVLand was actually launched in 1996, not 1995.

Currently now the shows are airing: The Kings of Queens, Everybody Loves Raymond, Mom, The Goldbergs, Andy Griffith Show, Gunsmoke, Bonanza, M*A*S*H., Roseanne, Mike & Molly, Seinfeld, The New Adventures of Old Christine, The Golden Girls, Two and a Half Men.

The Neighborhood briefly aired in TVLand in late 2022, but for short time.

Friends used to air on TVLand, but that was long time ago, and it didn't last long.

Many of the second and third wave of cable networks will be folded over the next few years, I believe TV Land will be one of them. It is projected that by 2027 only 38% of the homes in the U.S. will be cable TV customers. That would place the number of homes with cable at about the same number as 1989. Survivors may include, TBS, TNT some scaled back version of ESPN, local channels and diginets, Nickelodeon, CNN, FOX News, MSNBC a couple of business channels, USA, A&E a few others with rest disappearing. I think basic cable can survive at a $40-$50 price point for individuals who have little or no interest in streaming services.

The big divorce will be sports programming. Expensive to produce, representing a disproportionate share of the cable bill, regional sports networks presence on basic cable tiers will be dramatically reduced if not disappear altogether, they have to for cable to remain viable.

Paramount is already doing the slow burn by killing off Teen Nick to a slow boil and putting all of it's former content on it's Pluto Tv Nick Totally Teen channel. Paramount is also selling off VH1 and BET so don't expect those channels to ever be relevant ever again. USA and TNT will most likely still be around due to WWE and NBA. CNN and Fox news never going away. Stuff like History channel and Fuse will be gone no doubt.

TVLand was in the top 20 most watched of secondary channels for the month of June, it's not going anywhere.

Now little known Viacom channels like TeenNick would be more likely to disappear.

The post said in 2027, not 2023. TV Land isn’t ending this year and gets bad ratings and has dropped dramatically in just four years. Where do you think it will be in the next four years?

My prediction is TV Land gets the boot at some point and Pluto TV Sitcoms or whatever it’s called becomes the replacement along with Paramount+. Viacom is more into streaming than cable anyway. Once the broadcast licenses expire, TV Land won’t be back. They’ve invested significantly more in Pluto than cable.

Viacom has both Pluto TV and Paramount+, which, just in the last year, Pluto has pretty much exploded in viewership and is very much going to become, or close to, the new cable, but free.

This thread has been dormant for a couple of months, but some additional information concerning at risk cable networks appeared in the Hollywood Reporter, I'll summarize:

Owner Network

FOX FOX Deportes

Paramount BET & MTV spin off channels, , Nicktoons, LOGO,POP, Nick Jr.

Warner/Discovery American Heroes Channel, Cooking Channel, CNN International,
Boomerang, Science

Disney Disney Jr., Freeform, FXM, FXX, National Geographic Mundo,
National Geographic Wild

NBC Universal E!, Syfy, Oxygen, CNBC World, Universal Kids, Olympic Channel

Wells Fargo analyst Steve Cahill estimate based on cable companies taking action similar to Charter.

In July less than 30% of the viewing cable subscribers did were of cable stations. As I wrote earlier in this thread, we're going to see cable stations starting to disappear at an accelerated rate in the next few years as cable companies battle to stay alive. Cable companies will return to their original purpose working as an antenna service for over the air stations. Only 20 to 30 cable stations will survive, the regional sports networks will be apps offered on streaming platforms, so will the live sporting events version of ESPN. The price point is going to have to be about $35 dollars a month for a basic subscription.

Don't forget they expanded to internet service. If it was not for the internet we would not have streaming.
