Retro Television Network- A must-see

I'm mad as HELL that no one is fixing this problem. No one from either WNGS or WKBW (the parent station) even returned either of the e-mails I sent them (they tell us to e-mail them with feedback and never respond. Why have feedback sections anyway?). I devoted my evenings to their channel (well, for less than a week before it went blue), and this is what I have to deal with? This RTN channel better go national, because once they fix the problem this time, within a few weeks or months, the problem will be back. Why is it that good things can never stay?
 
Cause there is no longer a requirement for GOOD PROFESSIONAL people in these areas and its mostly idiots that either dont carew or dont know what to do :(
 
UPDATE-Believe it or not, I recieved an e-mail back from the general manager of WKBW (parent station). He asked me for specific URL information. At least I got a reply. I should have e-mailed him first. We'll see if this problem gets fixed at least by Monday.
 
Very good!!!!

I hope it gets fixed straight away...... I didnt get any email from them :(

EDIT:

Still blue screen :(
 
I tried everything. I first e-mailed Programming, and then the GM. There are no direct links to any individual e-mail addresses.

Additionally, I replied to the e-mail I recieved yesterday, so I don't think he'll get to the e-mail until at least Monday. At least I have his e-mail address now that he e-mail me.

Still waiting...
 
If they really wanted to do "retro" kids programming, they should air WKBW's old "Rocketship 7" and "Commander Tom" shows. Throw in "The Hilarious House Of Frightenstein" (also viewed in Buffalo via CHCH Hamilton, and recently available on Canadian cable) for good measure.
 
UPDATE...11:28PM The feed IS BACK! I'm more than happy about this. All of today, as during the past week, I have been checking back and forth to find the blue screen. My last check was at 10:50PM this evening. It was still blue.

Well, I also misplaced my wallet in my house and couldn't find it. So, as I was watching TV, I decided to look again. I happened at that moment to find the wallet in between the plug for the TV and my DVD cabinet. I was happy about that. Then it occured to me to check my computer to see if the feed came back, and what do I see, AN ACTUAL PICTURE on screen. I don't know if this is the luck of 7-7-07, but all within one minute of the 11:00 hour, I struck luck twice. This made my day. I'm not even shutting down my computer this evening just in case.

Let's hope this doesn't happen again. Maybe the signal coming back had something to do with RTN going national today. Maybe Equity Broadcasting is finally waking up!
 
I got clear video here!!!

Its spam but its working :)

Its amazing they dont even know whats happening with thier own stuff unless someone tells them :(

CONGRATS ALL!!!!!! -- Lets hope it lasts!
 
Yes, it's an on and off thing. The picture isn't too good though. Then when the picture gets really distorted, the blue screen comes back. It's progress though. Right now it works but there is an annoying line at the top that is bothersome.
 
I have been looking everywhere and can find nothing about what happened on July 7th when RTN went 'national.' What happened? Is there an official 'schedule?' Any website? Any plans to make it available to cable/satellite like ION does so the coverage can be more widespread? I emailed the parent company yesterday and haven't gotten any response from them yet. Absolutely NOTHING online about it either. Sounds like a pretty sad company, but they do have some good shows.
