Just to let everyone know, it will more than likely just be seasons 6-8, the episodes still under Sony's control.
I've asked Mary Owen (Donna's daughter and she too is involved in my Facebook campaign for seasons 4-5 to get released to DVD)--she said the estate received an informal offer, but nothing was ever signed contract wise for the earlier seasons. Not saying the earlier seasons will not be shown, just right now, no official offer has taken place.

This sounds interesting. I'd love to see Donna Reed again, although I would prefer to see the whole series and not just part of it. I looked to see where this Antenna TV would be broadcasting and it is nowhere near me (no surprise there.) Does anyone know if it's broadcast on WGN includes with cable channel or is it just the Chicago area channel? I do have the WGN cable channel.

This is an OTA digital channel--there is no "must-carry" status for these channels.

Well, it looks like Antenna TV will NOT be offering this show. An e-mail from a programmer there indicates that the distributor is having troubles delivering the show......what this means, I have no clue. If I find out...I'll let you know.

How do you check to see if this new network is airing in a given area? I could not find anything on the website or online?

Thanks! Hope it's coming near me, but I am not counting on it.
