"Encouraged by the success of its first multicast network, Antenna TV, Tribune Broadcasting is cooking up another, Antenna TV Classics.

It would specialize in “the older-skewing shows,” says Sean Compton, president of strategic programming and acquisition for the station group. The original Antenna TV would then be free to recalibrate its lineup with shows to attract younger viewers, he says.
If Tribune goes ahead with the new channel, it will reaffirm the fundamentals of the multicasting business, which converts low-cost, but well-known movies and TV shows, into modest, but steady, revenue streams and profits for the diginets and their affiliates"

Wow. This is kinda exciting having a second Antenna TV station. What would be on it? Shows from the 50s-70s and then the other one having one from the 80s and 90s? Regardless, this is exciting

Sounds like a good idea. Antenna TV could air programs from the 50s-70s and the new Antenna TV could play 80s-90s shows

I think it'll probably replace This TV

Bad thing if it crunches credits like its original counterpart.

They have In The Heat Of The Night , though which is good, but not enough to make that channel worth watching. Antenna TV Classics sounds better and that's why I hope it replaces This Tv

Who cares about credit crunching? I'm just glad to be able to see some of my favorite shows. I honestly don't pay attention and nor do i really care about credit crunching.

I like In The Heat of the Night too- Gettv airs it if you get it every Weeknight at 6 and 7.

I used to care but I thought about how it was more important to see my favorite Antenna shows than it was to concern over something like that.

Many do care and won't watch for that very reason including myself.

Really? Just because the end credits are crunched means you won't watch a show? Wow.

That and voiceovers during the credits annoy the hell out of me. I'm not crazy about logos on the screen either, but I can live with it.
