They actually have paid programming instead of the Honeymooners and The Odd Couple on Sunday Nights. Then at 11 and 12, its the reguarly scheduled programs. Why did they do that? I'd much rather watch The Honeymooners and The Odd Couple instead of The Bob Newhart Show or whats ever on at 11pm.

Blame your affiliate, not ME-TV.

Oh, I forgot. The affliiate. I wish the affiliates and ME-TV or Antenna TV would get on the same page and not pre-empt shows.

I'm sure the national networks would like the affiliates to not preempt but that's their choice unfortunately. My Antenna affiliate has had several baseball games preempt the lineup.

As far as I know, my METV affiliate on Time Warner doesn't pre emp anything! But my friend/neighbor has DirecTV and they were out of town and I was coming in to feed and tend to their cats, and I would put the TV on and one time on METV there was some Spanish infomercials on!!! It was weird!! I thought I was on the wrong channel, but than I was like no this is where METV was all the other times. So something in Spanish was pre-empting at that time!!

My Antenna is always local news between 9-10 weekdays!!!

I don't think my affiliate pre-empts any of their shows

At one point...my Antenna TV Affiliate (WJW) would preempt a show on Sunday at 8 pm for sketches of "The Big Chuck and Lil John Show".

I had no problem with that since it is one of my favorite shows...

I actually want to make a TV Movie Show which has sketches and bad films to riff.
