Networks you think will be on the rise in 2014 - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

So what do you guys think about which networks will be on the rise and become popular in 2014? You can choose 1, 2 or 10, you could even choose none if you want.

I think one network on the rise is Cozi TV. I was really harsh on the channel in the past but they have some decent shows on there. Fantasy Island, Wonder Woman, Lassie, The Real McCoys. There are shows people have heard of. I just have a gut feeling that this network will do good things in 2014.

I also think The Hub will continue to grow in 2014. I thought that getting Step by Step was a good move, yet I wonder why some shows are still on? Lois and Clark and Hercules to be exact. If they get one or two more Step by Step type shows, I think they will do great. Maybe Growing Pains, Facts of Life type shows.

I also think ME-TV will continue to grow. I dont think I mentioned this but remember when I would talk about my ME-TV affliate having paid programming. Well, they've eliminated some of that. Now, I can see the shows at 10pm, 11pm up until 12:30am, Mon.-Fri. Also, I could see the Sunday morning lineup with The Brady Bunch now as well. It may not seem like a lot but if the affiliates plan on phasing out paid programming, then they could really compete with Antenna TV.

I think The Hub has great potential. I hope they add Hangin' with Mr. Cooper, Perfect Strangers, Blossom, & The Torkelsons in 2014.

...and bring back The Facts of Life!

I also wish TBS, Encore Classic, or ANY other channel would rerun The Drew Carey Show.

Antenna TV and Metv will continue to be strong

Gettv will get some exposure when it launches in Feb

Bio will be changing it's format and name to FYI later this summer- so I am sure programs people were accustomed to seeing on the channel will not longer be part of the format or move to it's other owned channels.

I am really interested in seeing how The Quad TV will start to build awareness and interest with it's launch by early summer.

I don't really care so much about Hercules, but Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman is an awesome show! I'm glad it's still on the air somewhere. It's one of my favorite Superman incarnations.

Is that your network?

70s show watcher · 01-09-2014, 08:29 PM

i agree about the hub i find myself watching that network quite often

TKMetal · 01-09-2014, 09:51 PM

I think The Hub will want to produce their own "family" programming for the prime time hours at some point.

Yes it is my network.

A little over seven years ago I grew tired of what the various networks,

SO I CREATED MY OWN NETWORK!

Agreed on Me-TV, Antenna TV (which FINALLY came to my area last month!!!!) and Cozi TV. I think these networks will only get stronger as the year progresses.

i agree with the hub it was good move to show step by step i always imaged that dinosaurs would be good fit for the hub i also think family matters world do well for the hub since their showings 1990s shows how about saved by the bell perfect stranger's boy meets world? I also think good station I been watching lately is gospel music channel or now know as uplifting entertainment they just add every one hates Chris and steve harvy talk show not the comedy show. I think theses show fit good for uplifting entertainment as family fude since their airing steve harvy show why not family fude. early edition , Duck Dynasty hanging with Mr. cooper , my two dads , 8 simple rules, Sabrina the teenager witch & Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman

Will and Grace Fanatic · 01-11-2014, 12:13 PM

I'm gonna disagree. Networks can only rise if they have original programming. So not sure which network though.

tlc38tlc38 · 01-11-2014, 12:34 PM

I'm excited about the new "The Quad TV" channels. It'll be interesting to see how these develop and what shows they air from the 60s, 70s, 80s, & 90s.
