More Jewelry Television, about as much value as HSN and QVC.

As we need another Jewelry Television Channel in KC area not like Charge TV,My Family Network or so on.

I knew that this channel wouldn't last long as the two seem like they air the same type of programming but I'm still surprised that TBD is still around that it hasn't tried to rebrand yet.

And definitely don't need any Jewelry television ota and cable/satellite. As far as ur comment about Charge TV and Family Network and so forth if they did it in a manner that didn't air the same type of programming all the time they could be good.

For example now that you have Decades rebranding to Catchy Comedy, they should have Me-TV airing programming the way they are with their westerns and older sitcoms while Me-TV+ should air just one hour dramas like Mission Impossible, Kung Fu, 77 Sunset Strip, F.B.I., Hawaii Five-0 and a few newer shows like Highlander, Renegade, Kung Fu The Legend Continues, Hercules, Xena, Miami Vice so that way there is more of a break if u want comedy or crime dramas.

TrueReal is WXMI Fox17 .4 Defy TV is on one of WZPX .6 I believe, I wonder if Fox17 will add Defy TV to .4 or take Scripps News which is WZPX .7. As I see WZPX taking JTV in my opinion and seeing them losing diginet, JTV is on CW7 in the overnight hours.

That is a hideous name. "Decades" is a classy, dignified-sounding moniker, "Catchy Comedy"... gross.

Decades and MeTV do basically the same thing, and do it well, both pretty much OTA versions of TV Land.

When DefyTV first became available here, I would keep it on for hours at a time, more or less background noise that didn't require much of me. After a while, though, you realize you're watching the same basic genre of shows over and over again, reality programs about various macho themes, and it all blurs together.

R Lee Ermey's Mail Call is in a class all by itself. Rest in peace, Gunny. Those first ten minutes of Full Metal Jacket were iconic.

I agree Decades was a good name catchy comedy is a bad rebranding.

Depending on the individual Scripps station lineups Scripps News may move to a lower subchannel and Jewelry TV will be parked at the end of the subchannel lineup with any other shopping channels.

I just deselect all of the home shopping subchannels on my receiver's setup menu.
