See I find that odd because why would antenna tv & radio stations do this considering most young viewers don’t watch the over the air Channels or listen to the radio. The practice is so old school and that’s why viewers no longer tune in.

So I wonder if this means Antenna got different prints that have that title now?
I doubt they would, so it's most likely the same prints as before, just now they have an excuse to split the first 5 seasons and the final season renamed to The Ted Knight Show.

The blog says some shows expired while other are resting. Can anybody say what shows are resting and what shows expired off antenna tv? Thank you.

We probably won't know for sure what expired until we see if any shows that left pops back on the schedule in the future.

Hazel's pretty amazing, actually expanding its airings into the weekend.

I love that Rules Of Engagement will air on Rewind TV. Not thrilled about it sharing many of the same programs with Antenna TV. I was hoping Mr. Belvedere would have been picked up by Antenna.

Just checked Hazel, Jeannie, Bewitched, Barney Miller, Partridge Family, Maude, Three's Company: it looks like they're not just showing premieres on New Year's Day, they're starting each series again and then continuing on through Season 1?

Now that is literally a Fresh Start.
Sister network Rewind is doing the same thing as well.

And it looks like the evening Barney Miller, Jeffersons, Sanford episodes are repeats of the morning episodes.

I liked their morning lineup. They probably won't have any trouble getting some of it back if The Partridge Family bombs.

Real advertisers (and they don't have many) probably don't like the demographics that watch black and white, antique shows.

Grrr! Head of the Class will already be preempted on just the 2nd Sunday of the new schedule for a marathon of good for nothing Maude on January 11. Screw you Antenna TV!

Antenna TV is "Commercial TV". The Gold commercial and John Walsh basically have their own channels.

They are doing it on the cheap - every program - except "Alice" is free of charge - they are all available on pluto, roku, etc.

They are no MeTv.

They definitely are NOT MeTV. MeTV is major league, Antenna TV is little league. The gold ads are ridiculous--no credible network should agree to show commercials the length of these.

i do think they contract for all their programming, though--a lot of it comes from Sony. None of their shows are public domain.

It seems unusual they have Mork and Mindy, Family Ties, and Wings since they are all CBS Paramount shows and the Weigel networks have most of all the other shows from CBS Paramount. If I want my own Family Ties marathon, I just turn on the 24/7 channel on Pluto. Much better.

I totally agree. I stopped watching when they started credit crunching in 2015 and haven’t looked back since. It’s gone even further downhill since then with all these excessive commercials and speeding up the shows. I haven’t missed anything. Its earliest days from 2011 to 2014 were the glory years. It all went down after that. Most of the shows are on DVD or on a free streaming service like Pluto or Tubi.
