I was on their website and noticed there has not been a change to their schedule since November 20, 2018. They don't seem to make a whole lot of schedule changes nor do they seem to add a whole lot of new shows.

Kind of makes me wonder how much longer they are going to be around.

Well Retro TV dont change the schedule so far in 2019 like MeTV, Antenna TV & Buzzr does.

They are definitely not the same network they were nearly 10 years ago. Especially after they lost their contract with NBC Universal.

It seems that RTV is losing a lot of affiliates, I don't know how much longer they will be around.

MeTV and Antenna TV are the retro channels leading the way, a few other retro channels are competing and have an audience, but RTV seems to have fallen behind and left in the dust.

I have DVD's of most of my favorite classic shows so I don't watch the retro channels too much, Antenna TV has a few shows that I like.

We lost RetroTV in my area about 8 years ago. It seems they are also struggling financially from what I've heard.

I like Antenna TV also.

We still have Retro TV. The only shows I see there on a regular basis are One Step Beyond, Route 66 and Ozzie & Harriet. I just read that FE-TV will start carrying Route 66 in June.
