ALN is now You Too

[tbswatcher]

I was looking at local tv listings on zap2it.com and saw on Ch. 259 instead of American Life Network was You Too. Anyone know when this took affect because I just tuned in to that channel and it is called you too. I just saw that its link is youtoo.com.

Pavan mentioned this on his blog but never got back to it.

Sister network AmericanLife Network (ALN) will be rebranding and changing their name on Sept. 19. We still cannot reveal what the name is yet so you'll have to stay with us! We can tell you they will be adding some classic series programming again! Stay tuned!

Hmmm...

It is their approx 5th change since they were originally The Nostalgia Network, Youtoo is the most pathetic attempt I have ever seen to run a network....this idea has been attempted (viewers making announcements) several times, stretching a Batman episode to an hour, with really only 4 hours of programming stretched to 24.....they need to just go dark. Besides the female attractive hosts, it literally is unwatchable.

There's a reason these channels have never gotten significant cable/satellite carriage...

Never heard of them, but they don't sound that much different than 90 percent of cable tv stations.

I had Batman on yesterday and because it was so many breaks in it I forgot what I was watching and why I had it on. ALN was good at recently as a year or two ago, fell apart pretty fast

Yet another exhibit in the growing folder of evidence that re-runs should only be handled by TV stations themselves.

I remember long time ago back when my cable company was called Telecable it carry The Nostalgia Network back then it only had old B&W shows from 1920-1930 then they drop The Nostalgia Network after couple years.

just looking at their schedule it looks like a complete waste of a channel.

I doubt it was ever dropped, in my post I said it kept changing formats, The currrent YouToo, was formally ALN, formally GoodLife, it goes back over 20 years, the original name and format was the network you described "The Nostalgia Network".

I really wish some of these channels like ALN, RTV, Antenna TV and the others like them would be available to DirecTV. I love the old shows and lately all I watch is GMC and INSP. There are a lot of us that can't pick up anything with an antenna and can't get cable because we live in the boonies.
At least Designing Women is coming to TV Guide Channel, I know they'll chop off some but at this point, I'm grateful just to see it.

Yet another cable channel getting away from its intended reason for being.

So I guess they're showing TV shows in a little box, while the listings are on the bottom of the screen.

Or even worse, they'll show them in a bigger box, with maybe a line or two at a time of TV listings in smaller letters at the bottom of the screen.

Not the channel to go showing reruns.
