Wow! I didn't know that since FOL was last seen on the Hallmark Channel, Speaking of ME-TV The-N would also add FOL on there too!

megamanj2004 · 06-01-2005, 06:24 PM

Thanks for the schedule info, Harper49! It's kind of ironic that Me-TV's sister station, WCIU Ch. 26 has Diff'rent Strokes. So we'll be seeing both shows as Diff'rent Strokes airs on Saturdays and Facts of Life will now air during the weekdays! Next thing you'll know that somewhere in the future Silver Spoons might pop up.

I know I'm also a TV closing logo fan (and it's a little off topic), there might be possibilites that the Embassy Television logo might pop up on a few closing eps., seeing as when FoL last aired on the Hallmark Channel and N@N that some eps. had the logos on them.

BTW, it's also good to see Punky and What's Happening!!! back on Me-TV as well!!!

BTW, does anyone know what'll happen to the Saturday and Sunday schedules?

Latinoxtc · 06-02-2005, 09:25 AM

What is ME-TV? Is it a local station in chicago or what? I will be in Chicago for a week in September so I hope my hotel has that station. I wonder if I can take my VCR with me and record some of the episodes?

KristinHerreraFan · 06-02-2005, 12:24 PM

omg omg omg omg omg THE-N IS GOING TO SHOW FOL???!!

omg That is SUCH good news because I have the-n!!!!

When are they going to put fol on their network??

WHEN WHEN WHEN?? I MUST KNOW!!!

SBTB Geek · 06-02-2005, 08:37 PM

LOL, lets try to pressure DirecTV and Dish Network to start carrying the channel.

Pavan · 06-02-2005, 09:52 PM

The N is NOT adding the show. Just this local channel in Chicago.

Harper49 · 06-02-2005, 10:05 PM

But... Maybe around the upcoming months for FOL on The-N.

Czas na Zywiec · 06-03-2005, 03:48 AM

ME-TV (23) is a local channel in Chicago, but you don't get it if you have cable. You need to have an antenna.

AllIWantIsYourClutch · 06-03-2005, 02:39 PM

I have no clue what channel this is....And we have Chicago's channels here, so it's odd.

Duh, maybe if you read my post, it wouldn't be so odd. You have cable.

Unplug the cable, plug in an antenna, and turn it to channel 23 and bam, you get this channel.

What do you mean by that?
What months for fol?
If the - N isn't going to show FOL then whh did
you say that it would on the 2nd reply?

bellbm · 06-07-2005, 12:42 AM

Channel 23 is a low power UHF station in Chicago, broadcasting from the Sears Tower. Direc TV carries it, and it is carried on RCN cable in the city on Channel 14.
I don't think the signal strength is that strong.

The channel is great, classic shows, no time compression, no logos splashed all over the shows, just the shows as we remember.

BTW, FOL did end with the Embassy Logo.

Yep. Eps. from 1982-86/87? I think.

Like on Diff'rent Strokes and Who's the Boss?, this logo will be tough to find as Sony plastered itself over Embassy Television and most other old Columbia logos, but they still pop up from time to time.

I envy everyone who lives in the Chicago area. Wow thats a great line-up
