TVFactFan · 03-22-2012, 05:59 PM

The Hub
Hallmark
Antenna TV
Me-TV

Those 4 channels has give Classic TV new life and it is such a good feeling that we tv fans no longer have to depend on TV Land and Nick@Nite to see tv shows that aired before 1990.

These channels below are no longer apart of classic TV and it doesn't matter-

TBS
TV Land
Nick@Nite

Well said Solomon, I just hope these stations don't eventually "sell out."

Do Antenna and Me air their episodes uncut?

I sure hope they don't but it wouldn't surprise me if they do. With all the channels out there, it seems like classic tv fans always get the short end of the stick.

It's still hope going by the pattern of Antenna TV. I just hope they don't start adding post 1990 shows.

METV speeds up some of their shows so they do show some of them uncut just sped up. A couple shows air uncut on antenna tv, Here Come the Brides is one.

Those are pretty much the only channels I watch outside of sports.

Antenna TV and MeTV are not cable networks, so they will not "sell out." They are digital simulcast networks and the purpose for them is to show older programming. They don't have national ads like cable networks like TV Land, and they never will, so they won't create original programming or buy newer (which are expensive) shows with the ad money.

Hallmark and The Hub's focus is not classic TV, so they can't "sell out" when they are not primarily in that business. And they are cable nets.

Hallmark and The Hub's focus is not classic TV, so they can't "sell-out" when they are not primarily in that business. And they are cable nets.

So I don't see hallmark airing a lot of shows beyond 1990 so it looks like a vintage tv channel to me-lol

Hallmark may air older programming, but they produce new TV movies and have an entire original programming block every weekday from 10am-3pm. So their focus is not on classic TV like Antenna TV and MeTV. So whatever older series they air, we're lucky they are airing them.

The Hub only airs classic sitcoms in primetime/late night, with a mix of new and old children's/animated series the rest of the day.
