Antenna airs shows like I Dream of Jeanie, Bewitched, Newhart, Family Ties and Doogie Howser, MD.

Antenna now airs on WPGH in Pittsburgh, WNUV in Baltimore, WZTV in Nashville, WSYX in Columbus, Ohio, WSTR in Cincinnati, WLOS in Greenville-Spartanburg, WTCN in West Palm Beach, WTTO in Birmingham, WTLV in Jacksonville, KTHV in Little Rock, KTUL in Tulsa, WKEF in Dayton, WCHS in Charleston-Huntington, WLUK in Green Bay, WSMH in Flint, Mich., WUHF in Rochester, N.Y., WMNT in Toledo, Ohio, WLTX in Columbia, S.C., WCSH in Portland-Auburn, Maine, WRSP in Champaign, Illinois, KCEN in Waco, Texas, WTGS in Savannah, Ga.

Meanwhile my idiot affiliate is dropping Antenna TV just in time for Johnny Carson.

BigManMike · 11-17-2015, 11:51 PM

And they get more affiliates, yet they continue to do the awful credit crunch. I sure won't be watching. I wish Memphis would get Buzzr or Laff.

Sorry to hear that. Glad Antenna is generally becoming more available. I personally think for a FREE channel it's just great!

FINALLY! Getting it in Green Bay. I've been waiting so long.

Antenna TV is now on in 88% of the US but in only 0% north of the US.

That is simply unacceptable and to me it is also unforgivable.

I hear you. We get ME-TV (KVOS - Bellingham Washington) but not Antenna TV here in British Columbia.

Rewinder · 11-21-2015, 03:17 PM

I hope they come to my area soon

treky · 11-22-2015, 02:20 AM

so, Antenna TV's a success even though they crunch the credits and do the split screen huh? I don't know why, I don't watch them anymore for that reason. I was excited when ANTENNA TV, ME TV, COZI TV and DECADES rose to take over where Nick at Nite and TV Land left off, but no more-DECADES and COZI TV show everything (even the commercials!!!) with those black bars on either side and Antenna TV crunches the credits and does that split-screen. Thank god ME-TV and BUZZR don't do that.

BigManMike · 11-22-2015, 09:51 AM

I still watch Decades sometimes when they have good marathons on the weekends although they really don't have that many good programs during the week. I somehow live with the black bars because at least they don't crunch the credits. But it really angers me that Antenna TV does because they have the best programming layout and most of the shows I like are on there. But I've had to stop watching because of that. And I'm honestly not all that interested in Carson anyway. I may watch once or twice to see what it's like but I doubt it's something I would watch regularly. I sometimes watch MeTV, although I don't like how in some of their shows the captions are behind what is being spoken and scrolling up like I'm watching live news or sports but at least they don't crunch credits.

Vahan · 11-22-2015, 11:37 AM

It also kills me that Antenna TV clearly stated that they wouldn't crunch the credits when they first started. But what do they do? They go back on their word anyways, and they refuse to take the hint.

Lesson learned: Never, ever, EVER make promises you can't keep.

OH Nuts! · 11-22-2015, 03:09 PM

Well, I'm an UNABASHED Antenna fan. For a FREE ( repeat F-R-E-E) channel, they are magnificent. Is Antenna 100.0000% perfect? Of course not. Anything minor (to me anyways) Antenna is missing I can find on the Internet.

Have you let Antenna know about this? I know when I've emailed them about a concern, they got right back to me. Maybe they're prevented from going into Canada-ask them WHY they haven't crossed the border. I'd be curious myself.

But, anyways, I hope one day you do have access to this great channel. I'll keep my fingers crossed.
