Classic TV Channels

Growing up, I didn’t have a lot of friends, but I do have hours of family-friendly comedies from the 60s, 70s, and 80s to keep me company.  I was excited when Nick at Nite launched on our cable system back in the day.  I love watching old shows such Dennis The Menace, The Donna Reed Show and Lassie.  I was sad that Nick at Nite started phasing out those old shows for newer reruns as Friends, but those shows did not have the same appeal to me as the old shows did.  Then Viacom made a smart business move and launched TV Land so they could play those shows again but they also had a lot of limited run series and spinoffs from that time period, and it was great.  But as I learned in life, all good things come to an end.  Recently, TV Land has shifted their programming to original programming to be more edger and not be as family friendly.  I am disappointed in that direction.  Well, Weigel Broadcasting Co. Inc. decided to take what was working in Chicago IL and brought their own tv classic channel forward called ME-TV-Memorable Entertainment Television to the national level.  Then their competitor Tribune Broadcasting in that market jumped into the classic TV wars by launching Antenna TV.  There are now a lot of Diginet classic TV networks to list now but reassure there will always be a place for good TV reruns that stand the test of time called Evergreen Classics.
