I've deleted a few off-topic posts. This thread is about the fifth most popular network.

Thanks,

I'm not surprised Antenna TV isn't high on the list. Afterall it's only a digiet that reruns old TV shows.

Well, if you want to be that specific about it, so are Cozi and MeTV, both of which appear on the list. What I see, though, is that Antenna TV has been running a lot of black-and-white shows from the 1960s, especially in the daytime, whereas the other two have very few shows of pre-1970 vintage.

Could be that's why Antenna has added shows of more recent vintage to the schedule in the past year or two (Evening Shade and Newhart come to mind, and Dear John was added at the beginning of 2016) and why they made the deal to run the whole-program Johnny Carson reruns.

Who woulda thought there would be a ratings battle among diginets?

Sorry. what's a diginet? Do you mean networks which are just on digital sub-channels?

Sorry to keep asking these sort of questions <red faced>

It was bound to happen sooner or later

BMR - Yes, that's what a diginet is (At least commonly referred to here that is )

I would have thought that Antenna was still no. 2 among the retro channels with Cozi running third since Antenna is in more areas, but I guess that may have changed.

We appropriated the term from the ad agencies, actually.

Oh, and BMR: There's nothing wrong with asking a straightforward honest question if you don't know the meaning of a term ... or anything else, for that matter. We only get bent out of shape when we explain something like that and are then challenged by the original poster over it. No embarrassment necessary on your part over this.
