Before you can make an accurate Fall 2020 schedule you have to know what tv shows MeTV has available to schedule for that quarter.

Merry24 · 05-01-2020, 10:46 AM

I went by the shows they have had or on Sister station Decades Network that might be able to be shared.

Even though I know this won’t happen because Me TV always has Sitcoms at 5AM-9AM.

nysfboy328@aim.c · 05-01-2020, 03:54 PM

^Can you do the same for CoziTV?

AMackII · 05-01-2020, 08:48 PM

That seems like a good schedule suggestion for MeTV, not bad.

Merry24 · 05-01-2020, 09:09 PM

I’m sorry we don’t get Cozi here so it would be hard to do a Suggestion for them.

Thank you. I’m blessed to have Me TV! I would like to have some older Sitcoms air at 12AM and after. There WeekNight Primetime line up just needs a little sprucing up.

Since Andy is on TVLAND from 4pm-8pm it would be nice if Me TV spreaded it’s time slots up to WeekNights 9pm & 12AM. Since TVLAND airs Gunsmoke/Bonanza in the Weekday afternoons why Can’t Me TV try them at 5AM-7AM? It seems like Sitcoms don’t really fit the early mornings cause they seem to change up the Weekday Morning line up more than anything else.

So, I believe Weigel will not want to cross program too much of Decades' lineup over to Me TV, especially daily during Me TV's prime time lineup.

That includes I Love Lucy, Mary Tyler Moore, Newhart, Bob Newhart, Dick Van Dyke shows. Weigel wants to keep Decades alive, and the way to do it is for it to be somewhat distinct. If MeTV runs the most popular shows that Decades has to offer, carriers will be less inclined to Decades.

I've spoken with MeTV representative in Chicago, and they are pretty against a national feed distribution model. The national feed of MeTV on Dish Network apparently is only available to viewers who don't have a local MeTV affiliate. Get TV, Light TV and Sinclair's digital networks on the other hand are very for national feed distribution as well as local affiliate model, in contrast.

On top of that, it has to my understanding that Weigel even wants to collect a distribution fee for its networks. It is of no coincidence in my opinion that Verizon Fios in the Philly area has been refusing to carry Decades but carries the lower quality RetroTV, and LocalBTV which also has agreements with stations was not able to get a free carriage of MeTV and Decades, but has RetroTV from the same station in the Philly region.
