did anybody get that new channel ? my city was on the list, but i still dont get it.

MrCleveland · 01-01-2011, 06:54 PM

Me neither, and I'm wondering if it'll be on cable too?

Pavan · 01-01-2011, 07:10 PM

It's working over-the-air. Some cable systems are not adding it until later in the month, like Comcast.

tiredmike59 · 01-01-2011, 08:23 PM

i dont get it on my digital converter box.
according to antenna tv website, it was supposed to start today.
i think they counted their eggs before they were hatched.

Are you in St. Louis? If so, they are not adding ATV until March. Everyone else on their list is launching this weekend over-the-air.

tiredmike59 · 01-01-2011, 10:01 PM

Really? I thought Cleveland was always last!

Pavan · 01-02-2011, 05:31 PM

Cleveland has it on right now over-the-air.

tiredmike59 · 01-02-2011, 05:33 PM

are they running the old shows in airdate order ?

Pavan · 01-02-2011, 05:36 PM

Yes, every show is in order from the beginning starting tomorrow. Maude is the only show going in production order, as far as I know, but they aren't skipping any.

tiredmike59 · 01-02-2011, 06:02 PM

by the time they show it here , the shows will be in their second or third season. oh well, i guess i can always trade for them.

tiredmike59 · 01-02-2011, 06:30 PM

I have the Antenna TV channel, my favorite TV is OLD TV, from '50's and '60's and unfortunately they only spend 3 hours a day showing these type shows. But they are great shows if you don't have them already. Father Knows Best, Hazel, & Dennis The Menace are each shown for an hour each day, 2 in a row & in epis. guide order!! Unfortunately I have the commercial releases of Father Knows Best and already have my recordings of Hazel from WOR/Fam channel & Dennis from Nickelodian transferred to DVD. I am waiting though for the color episodes of Hazel to start up, hoping for improved quality over WOR/FAM channel versions. Their Dennis The Menace shows quality looks great, BUT they are 22-23 minute versions. They were supposed to play Farmer's Daughter too, but it's been delayed for some reason. (Bad tapes is one kooky excuse I heard.)

So those 3 hours are great to see, even if only one of the hours is of any use to me. Unfortunately most of the broadcast night and morning are wasted as they show 3rd rate Columbia Studio movies from the '80's and '90's.

Once in a while a classic from the '50's is put on, but mostly it's bad modern movies. Now why doesn't Antenna TV show hour long dramas/detective shows/westerns at night instead of the crap movies?? Why do they show Married With Children?

That hardly relates as a classic old TV show.

I'm very glad

to see Dennis the Menace, haven't seen it since I transferred my Nickelodian tapes to DVD, but Nickelodian at least played full 25 min. versions of Dennis, but the quality wasn't as good as Antenna TV's.

While I'm happy to see these 3 hours of shows on the air again, why not fill the entire 24 hours a day with great classic TV shows and scrap the bad unwatchable movies and the lousy new 70's and 80's TV shows. Where's Route 66, Peter Gun, Rawhide, etc? This is the best news for a TV station addition to my channel lineup since RTV showed up. But this could be so much better with a little care to putting on true classic shows. But I am grateful they are respecting the shows in that they are showing the end credits untouched and unsqueezed and are showing the programs in epis. guide order. Now if only they'd add another 21 hours of classic TV shows to their lineup. 3 hours a day ain't enough.

tiredmike59 · 01-11-2011, 07:08 PM

i thought they were supposed to show ALL STAR THEATRE ?
i think that was a 50s anthology show.
