I can definitely see them dropping an existing network, in fact I think it's almost a certainty. My initial thought was Story TV but that network may not have enough clearance and that will be the key. METV+ is a possibility but again does it have the clearance. The more established H&I or Catchy Comedy may be a better fit. One of them is going, I think METV and Movies! are safe. I hope it is Story TV the existence of that network doesn't make much sense.

One final note, I looked at Weigel Broardcasting's website, METV+ doesn't appear to be referenced, so there is that.

Metv+ doesn’t even have a Wikipedia page.

It will be a "complimentary offering" and not the actual network. I'd say the actual network will end up on Frndly TV and Philo.

I'd like to see this network replace that nothing network locally, Dabl.

I'd also like this network to include more Jay Ward properties, and also Total Television material. Otherwise, it seems like a wish list come true for many. Also, I wonder if it will include the Columbia cartoons, since Toon In with Me seems to have shuffled those off to MeTV+.

If Jerry Beck is going to be involved, I figure Columbia, UPA and Harvey Toons will be shown on the new channel. When Jerry was on Stu's show a while back, he was bursting at the seams to keep this under wraps and not spill the beans.

I wasn't aware of that, good piece of information, thanks.

Not as much of a cartoon watcher now as I used to be but I have DVD's of some Hanna Barbera favorites, Flintstones, Jetsons, and a few others. I seldom watch the retro channels on TV now because it seems none of them have a full screen picture anymore, it's either widescreened or windowboxed and I don't watch that junk. Thankfully the DVD's I have are full screen formatted.

Yes! More MASH!

They should do some hours of cartoons and their real life inspirations, like

MUSH- MASH
Flintstones- Honeymooners
Top Cat- Bilko

What else fits?
