On The TV Side: WNEP 2

M

MCNDRWS

According To The WNEP Website ... As Of Monday November 9th WNEP 2 Is Becoming An Affiliate Of RTV, The Retro TV Network. With Shows Like Adam 12, Dragnet, The A-Team, Knight Rider And Stuff Like That. They Will Still Have Newswatch 16 Between 7 And 9 AM. The Full Schedule Is On The Website.
 
Interesting. I have RTV at my house in Florida. Low budget network but if you like classic tv they've got some of the good stuff.
 
"Dragnet" was always one of the classiest shows on tv. I was listening to AM740, the flamethrower out of Toronto, last week and they were doing one of the old radio programs; the little side details made all the difference.
 
One thing that I have noticed with RTN is that the program guide that Comcast and Tivo provide don't always match with what they're airing.

By any chance is this the network based in Branson MI. ???

No, this network is based out of Chattanooga, Tennessee, and is owned by Luken Communications.



It's a good network, I will admit they've had problems in the past, and are still ironing out the kinks, but otherwise, I'm very pleased with the network.

Hey, I am IN! Jack Webb was the worst and the best at the very same time, not something everyone can do. I need more Dragnet in my life, especially the episodes with Harry Morgan. Anyone remember the Dragnet days pre-Morgan? Good God, I'm old!
 
Ok, so I'm in PA today, turn on WNEP2 and was very disappointed. The PSBB and the weather map at the bottom of the screen make for an unwatchable channel. Do this many people really want to know when the next church supper is being held? Nice try WNEP but you get a #fail in my book.

Sadly, the answer is yes. Probably if they took it down, there would be a such an uproar on Talkback 16, that it would crash the site.
 
what a shame. but then again, this is NEPA!
 
Finally got to watch a couple of minutes of the Rockford Files and agree get ready of the junk on the bottom of the screen.
 
If they want the channel to be somewhat successful, they've got to get rid of the scrunched up screen and the crap at the bottom. They're throwing money away if they're paying RTN to have programming on that channel. I'd watch it for the shows, but don't want to see the radar and the chicken dinner announcements taking up 1/3 of the screen. Very poor decision, might as well throw a test pattern up there instead of RTN.
