Beyond the Decades

[Mr Tony]

Now that I've been able to see Decades more often (put up a VHF antenna so I get the local CBS finally) I really dig "Beyond the Decades".

Its basically a time capsule of that particular day with stories on the biggest events that happened on the particular day. They do use CBS news clips when available so you see lots of Cronkite and Rather

I don't get into the rest of the programming (although there was a cool documentary on Chrysler today)

I would love to have this channel. I love historical things.

 

[Mr Tony]

some other notes on the channel in general
-the 6 hour loop is lame. You have all this programming at your access, why limit it? A 12 hour or even a 8 hour loop is fine. But 6 hours you're limiting yourself
-they apparently have a "theme" each day.

Would love get Decades channel here in Albuquerque's TV market but I guess you have be patient assuming they land on KRQE-DT or some one else.

Seen BTD myself and agree it is very good. Also agree that they should 'expand' the schedule with more shows rather than repeat the same thing during a six hour block. I still really like the channel but I can see this being a turn off to many, especially those who 'binged', when they have such a huge library of programming to offer and don't.

Wish I had it too......Been getting messages that its gonna launch in Lafayette soon but that could be 2027.....As for ThisTV I wish they would replace it

Please watch The Last Picture Show for me since I don't have Decades Thanks

 

[Mr Tony]

Get to see this now almost everyday and each day they have some cool things about that particular day

One story yesterday was about the Ford Pinto and the "exploding gas tank" and the funding for Mt Rushmore
Today's was pretty big. The riots in Watts, last ground unit left Vietnam and the baseball strike (although that technically started tomorrow)

 

[Mr Tony]

What a buffoon I am...

The show is called "THROUGH the Decades"...not beyond the decades
