I think Weigel was not expecting such a tepid reaction to the national METV network. I remember when THIS started, it spread like wildfire across the country. So far, MeTV has been a total dud, which is really unfortunate, because it's probably why they haven't said anything about the supposed Me-Too that is supposed to come to Milwaukee. Oh well.

BTW, I noticed that RTV has removed their Facebook page. I guess they were tired of it turning into a complaint forum.

Maybe they are waiting for RTV to fold. When that happens, maybe they will promote it aggressively to try to get those affiliates.

Add WOLO/Columbia, SC to the list also.

Maybe things aren't as bad for MeTV.....Greenville/Spartanburg needs to be next!

How far is Greenville/Spartanburg from Charlotte? Looks like you could receive channel 18 but you're probably further away than I'm thinking.

I'm about 100 miles SW. I'm south of Greenville/Spartanburg a little. I can't get it with a set top antenna but I know people in Greenville with rooftop antennas that get Charlotte stations.

I noticed last week that they have returned Stooge-a-palooza to the lineup 8-10 AM sunday. According to the "national" schedule, that time slot is supposed to be E/I programming, so maybe this is only in Milwaukee. I wonder how this works, given that AntennaTV also airs the Three Stooges, and I thought only one network would have the rights to air a given show.

Sadly, MeTV has started cutting shows that were being shown uncut just a few weeks ago. Both Cannon and Stagecoach West had been running over 50 minutes. Now they are running under 46 minutes. Very disappointing.

clj2 · 03-13-2011, 10:09 PM

Are they showing a lot of national ads?

clj2 · 04-03-2011, 11:13 PM

WFXS in Wausau, WI is airing MeTV now. Surprised it hasn't been covered.

MeTV just signed on with a bunch of station groups to get 45% clearance across the country:
