RTN a cool channel
I am one of the few who still relies on my antenna for television reception. There is a fairly new station called RTN (Channel 39 on my set) that broadcasts a lot of cool old TV shows and crazy movies. It is never listed in the TV Week. When I contacted the TV Week editor, he claimed nobody watches that channel and it’s nothing but a bunch of old reruns. (Ever heard of TVLand?)
Maybe if enough of us were to ask very nicely (for him to actually do his job), he would reconsider.

Yes that is a wonderful channel but don't expect anyone in the media to appreciate it. They have Richard Boone in Have Gun Will Travel, Lucille Ball in her 1960's Lucy Show, the old Perry Mason series and even Mission Impossible for our dinner hour. It's grand. Now if we have a bunch of people who know or can find the schedule and tune in to it and watch all of it, including the old commercials, renamed retromercials, how is a media based company going to make any money? This channel isn't offering kickbacks or fancy rewards. These programs have quality writing, acting and sometimes very cheesy production values. It's entertainment for pity sake. There is no profit in letting people know they don't have to watch the local channels or cable.

channels. I wish the reception was as good as all the Mexican stations.
Viva RTN, which sounds like the last gasp of watchable television before digital high definition kills it off altogether.
Remember when TV watching was fun, even with commercials? Even TVLand has become a drag, showing the same five or six shows over and over, or else shows from the 80s. What we need are more channels to preserve 50s and 60s classics in all the genres. (Buying the DVDs is a bore, because who wants every single episode?)
