I know that a few months ago some of the digital channels switched out This TV for Court TV. It looks like that's what's happening here, Antenna TV still exists, perhaps another digital channel in your area will pick it up.

Must be only your area. I already have Court TV in my area so I'm not losing my local Antenna TV station.

Well if it's gone then there's nothing I can do about it. I'll just have to get the remaining seasons of my favorite shows they play and switch to all dvd's now.

Antenna TV was the only channel I watched. Oh well...at least I won't have to endure their endless Medicare commercials anymore.

Maybe this is a good thing.

The schedule for Antenna TV looks normal here in Indianapolis. I'd really miss the channel, but I sure agree with you about the endless Medicare ads. WE KNOW! We can enroll!

I've kind of gotten in the habit of watching some of their shows on DVD at the same time they air them, like Father Knows Best. Amazing hoe much cleaner, more-complete, and less choppy they are on the DVD sets.

I have season 1 of Father Knows Best and will now have to get the rest of them so I can continue seeing it. But those seasons are so expensive for some reason, so it will take me some time to get them all.

I was really looking forward to Who's the Boss coming in the fall, and now will miss it! Hopefully the airings are popular and the studio will finally release a complete series for it.

But yeah, no more of those awful commercials will be a plus!

Antenna TV switched to Court TV in my area in February. Antenna TV is available on another sub-channel, but it's unreliable. Sometimes it's clear and sometimes it's just a black screen.

Thanks for the info. Maybe it'll switch to another channel in my area. I sent them a message inquiring about it and will come back to share what they respond back. At this point they're mostly an infomercial station anyway.

I'll just continue building up my dvd collection now.

Season 1 of FKB has several episodes that are edited to the same length as Antenna TV. The rest of the seasons are full-length episodes.

The prices are really high. Here's the best I found on season 2 and season 3 was the same. Season 2 had only 1 item in stock.

This site is reliable--I've ordered from them in the past.

My Cozi channel went the same way.

It became hijacked with Spanish TV and informercials for hearing impaired at night.

We still don’t even have Court TV in my area yet, but Escape is now called Court TV Mystery.

cfr1970 · 05-15-2020, 06:01 PM

I don't think it's going to come back and expect it to start leaving other cities as well. In the past year or so, their commercials have become more frequent as well as longer. It reached the point where there was almost more commercials than TV shows.

So maybe it's a good thing and i'll build my DVD collection to the point where I won't need to watch any broadcast TV anymore and only watch DVDs.

Sorry to hear that Antenna TV is leaving your area though.

Thanks MA. I started leaving the TV on COZI channel now. They have Highway to Heaven and Little House on the Prairie during the day and Roseanne in the evenings. Good enough for me while I build the DVD collection.

And there's always the Buzzr channel too.
