Sinclair's Acquisition of Antenna TV - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

stgraydon · 05-13-2018, 03:07 PM

I am curious whether this will change anything regarding the programming of this channel. I just worry Antenna TV will turn into the next TVLand or FamilyNet.

I hope Sinclair will end the credit crunches.

Of course you do. Don't hold your breath.

I hope they keep the programming relatively the same. All we need is another TV Land.

Maybe it'll finally come to DIRECTV.

Sinclair is conservative, so they will most definitely remove Maude and Murphy Brown as soon as the contracts expire. They'll probably also go back to airing 50s and 60s sitcoms in primetime, we conservatives love those!

As for credit crunches, probably staying. They make room for more commercials. Conservatives love capitalism and if you hate the credit crunches, you're a Castro kissing communist*. We might even see some paid infomercials during the graveyard hours.

* The reason I was going on about my political beliefs is sort of a satire to show the anti-credit crunch activists how stupid they look when they go on about how much they hate the credit crunching.

I hope Sinclair don't add more stations to my market. Charge & Comet are enough.

BigManMike · 05-13-2018, 05:42 PM

I don’t have either one of Sinclair’s other stations Charge or TBD. TBD looks boring but Charge might be good.

BigManMike · 05-13-2018, 05:42 PM

I don’t have Comet either as a local but I have it streaming

tvfan25 · 05-13-2018, 09:22 PM

I hope they add it to Dish Network.

Has something suddenly happened with this merger? All I'm reading says it's still kind of in limbo.

RedPenguin · 05-13-2018, 11:06 PM

Does anybody think Sinclair will permit Antenna TV and THIS to be streaming?

So far all their channels (TBD, Charge!, Comet, & Stadium) have streaming.

Also MeTV has streaming in Chicago (technically elsewhere if you have the direct link).
