NEW revision to my MeTV-like digital subchannel schedule

[KentB3]

I made another revision to my digital subchannel similar to MeTV and AntennaTV. My last revision was related to the issue of Syndication Exclusivity (SyndEx) of TV show airings. This time, I took in the issue of music clearances. In the mid-to-late 1990's, VH1 aired The Best of American Bandstand, but only as 30 minute edits of originally hour-long shows. I'm not entirely sure if this was related to music clearance issues (due to copyright) or if it was that VH1 only wanted to run the show in a half-hour format, though more than likely it was the former issue.

In this revision, I am writing this schedule as if the channel is a sister network to AntennaTV, due to the fact that MeTV already has two sister networks (Heroes & Icons and Decades), so AntennaTV would be the more logical partner network. AntennaTV has a sister network as well (ThisTV), but ThisTV mainly airs movies instead of classic TV shows like Heroes & Icons and Decades. In addition, access to AntennaTV's library of shows, adding shows no longer airing on AntennaTV (much like Decades) as well as shows on the back burner of their schedule (currently airing overnight) that would be more likely to get dropped. The rest consists of shows not airing on any other subchannel or no longer airing on these networks. Here is what I have so far:

Monday-Friday:
6:00am Square Pegs (Monday)
Angie (Tuesday)
On Our Own (a short-lived 1977-78 sitcom, Wednesday)

8:00am Captain Kangaroo (E/I) It has been reported that the majority of episodes have been wiped, or destroyed (especially the early B&W episodes), but I do know that MANY episodes aired on PBS during the mid-to-late 1980's; though nearly all of the PBS airings were from the mid-70's onward.
