My guess replacing Court TV on 4.3. Drew Carey show is on Laff TV. 60's and 70's stay on Antenna TV.
Here's the press release from Nexstar...

Like the poster above me, I think this will very likely replace Court TV on those ex-Tribune Nexstar stations (in .3 slots), especially since Court TV has already migrated over to the Ion O&Os (as well as other Scripps-owned stations) in the same common markets. I remember reading several years ago, perhaps on here, that Tribune had planned for an ATV spinoff channel, and now it's finally coming to fruition.

From what I remember, the proposed channel was going to be called "Antenna TV Classics" & was going to focus on TV shows from the 1950's to 1970's. What is going to happen with Antenna TV & Rewind TV is the reverse of the original plan.Here's the press release from Nexstar...

Perhaps they found even less value to moldy old shows?
Movies may be returning to Antenna, this time in themed show form (pure rumor)
I am only interested in 2-3 of these shows, but I am not in the demo. Newsradio was great! Family Ties was also well done.
Me TV has most of the best shows from the 50's to the 70's now. I hardly watch anything from Antenna TV now.
Actually, it's replacing Court TV on most Nexstar stations because Scripps owns Court TV and it's due to Court TV being on Ion stations.
Here are some stations that are more likely to drop Court TV and be replaced by Rewind TV come this fall...
New York City: WPIX (11.3)
Los Angeles: KTLA (5.3)
Chicago: WGN (9.3)
Philadelphia: WPHL (17.3)
Dallas: KDAF (33.3)
Houston: KIAH (39.5)
San Francisco: KRON (4.3)
Sacramento: KTXL (40.3)
Tampa: WFLA (8.2)
Denver: KWGN (2.2)
St. Louis: KPLR (11.2)
Portland, OR: KRCW (32.3)
Indianapolis: WXIN (59.3)
Salt Lake City: KUCW (30.4)
Raleigh/Durham: WNCN (17.2)
Kansas City: WDAF (4.3)
Birmingham: WIAT (42.4)
Oklahoma City: KAUT (43.2)
Greensboro: WGHP (8.3)
Buffalo: WIVB (4.2)
Honolulu: KHON (2.4)
Florence/Huntsville: WHDF (15.2)
Savannah: WSAV (3.3)
I'm not sure what's going to happen in either Mobile AL, Fresno CA, San Diego CA Davenport IA New Orleans LA Jackson MS Billings MT Columbus OH or Lubbock TX
I wonder if it will end up on Tegna's WCCT-TV 20.2 in the Hartford/New Haven Market. Court TV replaced This-TV back in 2019 and now Court TV was added to ION WHPX 26. WCCT's sister station WTIC-TV is an affiliate of Antenna TV. Both are former Tribune stations that didn't go to Nexstar due to the fact they already owned WTNH/WCTX in the market.

Kozl first to announce to adding it.
On which subchannel of that station?
27.4
Okay, what you're trying to tell me is that come September 1, one station in Springfield, MO is launching a new diginet on a new subchannel, while in 23 other markets I mentioned, that new diginet is likely to replace Court TV.
They still carry Johnny Carson reruns, which is awesome.
I see that, but in November 2019, Yakima's ABC affiliate KAPP added Heroes & Icons on it's third digital subchannel.
