Looks like WGN has plenty of room on their Galaxy 14 mux to add another channel. Bad news is they use PowerVu encryption.

I was SURE I was having deja view.... all over again . . . -
I keep looking for it on KTLA 5, Los Angeles, as suggested above.
But, I still can't see it airing on the same station as This TV. . .
More likely to be you will not see This TV on the same Tribune channel as Antenna TV as soon as the affiliate contract with This expires.
Interesting, The HUB has these retro shows listed in the evening:
Family Ties
The Wonder Years
Doogie Howser M.D.
Happy Days
Laverne & Shirley
Batman is also listed but it doesn't state if it's the original or not.
I posted this weeks ago.
Also this month comes "The HUB" and the new Inspiration channel which will air several retro TV shows.
I know you posted it Popcorn, I mostly wanted to show I was getting the test pattern already OTA.

It looks like they will be using DVB-S2. So any DVB-S2 capable receiver or card should be able to receive the FTA channels.
Here is the FULL schedule!!!

Antenna TV Launch Schedule Starting January 2011; Chiller Acquires Buffy
We mentioned back in early September that Tribune is launching Antenna TV in January 2011, but now we have the FULL launch schedule! Before we get to the schedule, I'll remind you once again what Antenna TV is. Tribune Broadcasting's Antenna TV is a classic television and general entertainment movie network to air as a digital multicast on Tribune's broadcast stations. Tribune markets include New York's WPIX, Los Angeles' KTLA and Chicago's local WGN. The Chicago affiliate for Antenna TV will be WGN-DT 9.2. Antenna TV will also be offered for national distribution to non-Tribune stations, such as in Cleveland, Kansas City, Salt Lake City, and Milwaukee. View the full list of affiliates thus far on the Antenna TV website.
Moving on to the schedule, the digital station will launch on January 1, 2011 rather than the previously announced Jan. 3 -- so two days earlier! On January 1, 2011 there will be a New Year's Day marathon of first episodes! We'll have a schedule for that soon. The regular weekday schedule will have movies start the day off starting at 5am. Then sitcoms will take over from 1pm-1am. A black and white sitcom block from the '50s & '60s will start things off (originally these sitcoms were slated for overnight) with two episodes of Burns & Allen in the 1pm hour. At 2pm it will be Hazel, followed by The Farmer's Daughter. In the 3pm hour, it will be two more all-time classics, Father Knows Best and Dennis the Menace. Oh Mr. Wilson, indeed! Then we head into the '70s until 10pm, with an hour each of hit comedies. At 4pm, c'mon and get happy because it's an hour of The Partridge Family. At 5pm, back-to-back slapstick episodes of Three's Company will air, but Mon-Thurs only. The two spin-offs, The Ropers and Three's a Crowd, will be included in the rotation! How so? When the Ropers move to their new house after episode 52 ("An Anniversary Surprise"), you'll see episodes of The Ropers in the second half-hour until it finishes its 28 episode run and then we get back to Three's Company in this half-hour (the first half-hour will remain Three's Company, of course). Then later when Three's Company finishes its 172 episode run, all 22 episodes of Three's a Crowd will air, likely in the first half-hour, while the second half-hour will start with Three's Company from the beginning. It's a nice and unique way of scheduling these spin-offs and all fans will be pleased for sure!
Anyway, back to the weekday line-up, Fridays in this 5pm hour will be two episodes of the Ted Knight sitcom Too Close for Comfort. Then Mon-Sat in the 6pm hour its two episodes of Bea Arthur's Maude. In the weekday 7pm hour, we get back-to-back dyno-mite episodes of Good Times. The primetime line-up from 8pm-12am will air Sun-Thurs, with an hour each of Sanford & Son, All in the Family, Married...with Children and The Nanny. At 12am, Mon-Thurs will see more of Three's Company with the two spin-offs mixed in like they will be at 5pm. Too Close for Comfort will air in the 12am hour on Sunday nights. From 1am-5am more movies will air on Sun-Thurs.
Fridays and Saturdays will see a block of Three Stooges and Benny Hill in primetime. On Fridays, Three Stooges will air from 8pm-11pm and on Saturdays it will air from 11pm-2am. Meanwhile, the British comedy Benny Hill will air from 11pm-2am on Fridays and 8pm-11pm on Saturdays. The Monkees will air on both Fridays and Saturday nights in the 2am hour following this block and then a movie at 3am.
On weekend mornings and afternoons, we also have some variations. A movie starts both days off at 5am, followed by children's programming on Saturdays from 7am-1pm such as Totally Tooned In and classic Columbia westerns on Sundays such as Adventures of Rin Tin Tin. Sitcoms follow at 1pm, with Too Close for Comfort on Saturdays and Here Come the Brides on Sundays in the hour. Then both days will be the same from 2pm-6pm with an hour each of Gidget, The Flying Nun, The Monkees and The Partridge Family. As we mentioned earlier, Maude airs at 6pm, like it does Mon-Fri, but on Sundays we get Good Times in the 6pm hour. At 7pm, we get Archie Bunker and family in All in the Family on Saturdays and Too Close for Comfort on Sundays. The rest of the weekend line-up we mentioned earlier.
All of these shows are from Sony Pictures Television or DLT Entertainment. They will be adding in series frequently from these libraries, so stay tuned. We will certainly have more information on this network as we get closer to the launch. We will let you know what the first day will feature on Jan. 1 with classic first episodes, when we get the highlights. For now, you might want to take a look at a video preview of this network and browse their website for affiliate information.
View and discuss Antenna TV's launch schedule. Keep it right here as always for news and information on this network. We will be the first to announce anything, I'm sure!

Interesting, there running allot of stuff that was or is on MeTV. I do like the Threes a Crowd and Ropers spinoff idea. Seeing too Close for Comfort aired again will be cool. Hazel will be a kick that ain't been on in ages. They could do away with some of the shows that are so common place like Sandford & Son, Good Times and the Nanny. The Nanny is all over Nick at Night and Tv Land. The other two are all over MeTV.
I have all the Threes Company's on videotape (a couple seasons from the original ABC run) and always wanted to record Threes a crowd. I have quite a few Too Close for Comfort some from the original network and syndicated run also. I did allot of taping in the 80's and have shows (with whole seasons) that we will probably never see again.

I sure hope this is available in the clear as I don't see it OTA anywhere near me. Photoman mentioned S2 I hope so ITC........Blind
Then why do they specify a particular receiver? I was afraid it was going to be too good to be true, the 20 FTA channels. I guess we'll just wait and see!! El_Viejo
The receiver specifications say that it has DVB-S2 capabilities. If the channels are truly FTA, then any DVB-S2 receiver or sat card should be able to receive them. You would need their receiver for any encrypted channels.
new channel pending
From another site:
Just got a phone call from Tv station we contract with and we will all have a NEW Network called " Antenna TV" to watch January 1st 2011. Satellite information has not been released yet but we suspect AMC 3 87w since this new channel is comming from Tribune the same company as "this tv". Should be a great channel with programing simular to RTV but with Movies during the mornings and over nights.
Check out Schedule and shows on there web site: WWW dot ANTENNA TV dot TV
