Encore Westerns: Good news & other news

C

CrankyYankee

First, the good news. It appears(via on-air promos) that Encore Westerns will begin showing "Larado", "Rawhide" and the 1/2 hour "Gunsmoke" episodes on December 31 beginning in an all-day marathon.
The other news, navagation on the Encore Westerns website doesn't tell a whole lot about when these shows will actually air.
Maybe I'm just missing it, but I tried, I really tried. I suppose their grid will have the schedule.
Anyhow, this is something to look forward to!
 
O.K. here's a bit of an update. 24 episodes of Laredo begin December 31 at 8 a.m. followed by(I believe) a full day of Rawhide and then on January 2, the Gunsmoke marathon. I'm open for updates and corrections.
 
Encore Western's gain is ME-TV loss. I had just gotten ME-TV and those shows (not Larado)were removed. The Gunsmokes were interesting. Fast moving in the half hour format. It was good to see a young Clint Eastwood in Rawhide.

I had Encore Westerns for a while. I liked it but not the other Encore channels. Just wasn't worth the $6 a month. In turnabout fair play, ME-TV is taking Wagon Train from Encore
 
Have Gun, Will Travel will be removed from the Westerns channel with the changes. While I am thrilled to see the 30 minute Gunsmokes (1955-1961), I am a bit saddened to see Paladin roam off into the sunset and Johnny Western's classic ending there with it.
