How Many Classic TV Subchannels Are in Your Market?

In the NY Market, we have...

Cozi - WNBC 4.2
Bounce - WWOR 9.3
Antenna - WPIX 11.2
This TV - WPIX 11.3

and about 40 miles northeast of NYC there is WZME Bridgeport CT which carries Me-TV on 43.1 and RTV on 43.2. WZME is not viewable over the air in Manhattan, although some NY area cable systems carry it.

My cable system doesn't carry RTV, This or Bounce. And it gets Me-TV directly from the network, not from WZME, which others on this board say blocks some of the Me-TV schedule to run infomercials.
 
Seattle has three on subchannels, one on full power channel.

THIS TV is on KOMO 4.2.
RETRO TV is on KIRO 7.2.
ME TV is on KVOS 12.1 (main channel)
ANTENNA TV is on KZJO 22.3.
 
Antenna TV is on WREG 3.3 in Memphis, and also on Charter cable in Jackson, TN.

ME TV is on WLMT 30.2 in Memphis, and WBBJ 7.3 in Jackson, TN, but only for a few hours a day when CBS or local news isn't on. WBBJ is on Charter but WLMT isn't.

This TV is on WMC 5.2 in Memphis and Bounce is on WMC 5.3, and both are on Charter in Jackson. I really don't think these should count as retro channels though.

RTV isn't on anywhere near me now to my knowledge.
 
Two in Yakima, WA

KAPP 35.2 repeats KXMN-LD in Spokane which is MeTV.
KCYU 41.2 is This TV.

No RTV or Antenna out there.

4 here in Minneapolis

Me, This and Antenna (all subchannels off KSTC45 the local Independent station)
Bounce TV as subchanel on My Network 29 (Fox O&O station)

Highly unlikely we'll ever see Cozi as KARE 11 (NBC) is owned by Gannett. As well known they LOVE the weather subchannel...also here its Weathernation which is owned by (former KARE11 weather man) Paul Douglas
 
WTNH-TV 8-2 of New Haven is Bounce TV. [LIN Broadcasting, Inc.]
WCCT-TV 20-2 of Waterbury is ThisTV. [sister station of WTIC-TV]
WVIT-TV 30-2 of New Britain is Cozi TV. [NBC O & O]
WTIC-TV 61-2 of Hartford is Antenna TV. [Tribune Broadcasting, Inc.]

Hartford/New Haven does not have ME-TV. Cozi TV replaced Weather Plus on WVIT.
 
In the Mobile, Alabama-Pensacola, Florida TV market:

WKRG-TV usually broadcast Me-TV programming full time on channel 5-3.
WFGX-TV usually broadcast ThisTV programming for a few hours per day on channel 35-2 (for Monday through Friday, ThisTV programming was usually broadcast from 6:30 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. and from 1:00 pm to 3:00 p.m. For Saturday, ThisTV programming was usually broadcast from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Occasionally on Saturday the station broadcast ThisTV programming from 12:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. or from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. For Sunday, ThisTV programming was usually broadcast from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m., from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m., and from 8:00 p.m. until 10:00 p.m. In between the gaps of ThisTV programming were syndicated programs, local programs, paid programs, and Jewelry Television programming).
 
In the LA Market, we have...

Cozi - KNBC 4.2
Bounce - KCOP 13.2
Antenna - KTLA 5.2
This TV - KTLA 5.3
MeTV - KDOC 56.3
 
Philly gets all five also: Cozi, This TV, Antenna, Bounce, Me-TV and RTV.

However, Me TV (and RTV) isn't available in the Atlantic City area, and Bounce is not available in the Lehigh Valley area, because WFMZ doesn't reach AC, and WMCN doesn't reach the LV.
 
Since Bounce TV specializes in classic TV programs in addition to theatrical movies and original programs, I must mention their affiliate WFNA-TV in the Mobile, Alabama-Pensacola, Florida TV market. WFNA-TV usually broadcast their programming full time on channel 55-2.
 
Phoenix has two classic subchannels:
Me-TV on KAZT 7.2
Bounce on KUTP 45.2

RTV used to air on KAZT 7.3, but they dropped it for HSN recently.

Tucson also has two classic subchannels:
Antenna TV on KGUN 9.2
Me-TV on KOLD 13.2

Sometime in the first quarter 2013, KVOA is supposed to begin airing COZI TV on 4.2.

Aaaaah - didn't see ThisTV as one of the choices - yes, Phoenix has three.

Actually, you could say four, as K38IZ Digital airs classic Mexican movies on 38.1, although it's not a nationally available channel.

Tucson also has three, as ThisTV is on KMSB 11.2 as well.

To finish out Arizona then, Yuma/El Centro has one classic station: ThisTV on KYMA 11.2.
 
Raleigh-Durham-Fayetteville, NC

Antenna TV airs on WNCN, channel 17.2 (NBC affiliate)

I'm in Gary, IN, & is part of the Chicago market. Here's what's available:

5.2 Cozi-TV (WMAQ-TV - NBC O&O) (also in widescreen)

9.2 Antenna TV (WGN-TV - Tribune Broadcasting)

23.1 MeTV (WWME-LD - Weigel Broadcasting) (also simulcasted on WCIU 26.3)
23.2 Bounce

26.1 WCIU (Independent - Weigel Broadcasting) (if you want to consider shows from the 90's to early 2000's classics)
26.2 U Too (Time shifted programming, but also a few shows that only air on U Too, & does include some 80's shows)
26.5 This TV

48.1 MeToo (WMEU-CD - Weigel Broadcasting) (Chicago's MeTV, which includes the Sony library of shows that Antenna TV has the rights to on a national level, but Weigel has the local rights to the same shows. Also simulcasts on WCIU 26.4)

While I can't get this one, but select people in Chicago's northern suburbs can get 24.1 WPVN-CD, which carries RTV, & the station owned by Polnet.

RTV is also available on analog WRNT-LP Channel 48. The station along with simulcast partner WTXX-LP 34 in Springfield, Mass are for sale. The new owner will have to convert the stations to digital.
