It's looks like RTV will be adding more new channels!!

[N5XZS]

I just found out, from broadcasting news website!! Let's hopes, they add some new channels on KU band!:

Here's the link.......

Which satellite(s)?

 

[N5XZS]

It's too early to say, where the new added channels it will be on and what satellites it will be on!!

I am guessing AMC-9, but then again, whos know where it will be on.....

 

[Pismire]

More than likely it will be cband in S2. More profitable for them.

Lot of bragging and posturing, but this quote is the meat of the press release:
"Then he turned his attention to three more planned networks: sports-focused TUFF TV; PBJ, for children; and an RTV2."
Wish him all the best ! - :up

 

[Mr Tony]

TuffTV has been around for a couple months

as noted, they'll be S2 as they can cram alot of channels on one TP and customize it

Also what would rtv2 be? newer shows?

Hopefully, it would be slanted towards the old comedies that RTN use to have, unlike their current line-up, which seems populated with one hour dramas (most of which I am not interested in).

I am guessing for RTV-2, will mostly be in the late 80's to the rest of 90's time period.

The other ideas they could send old TV news broadcasts, from the mid 1940's to 2000's which would be cool IMHO!

Same here. When I first started watching RTN they had Beverly Hillbillies, Hogans Heroes and Get Smart. All 3 went away within about a month.

I really miss watching the Hillbillies.......kinda like old family home movies for our bunch.

I've seen the older ones one IONPlus.

Columbo... On RTV? Where and when?

I could go for some Green Acres.

 

[Tron]

Maybe RTV2 will show MacGyver! That is almost required watching for anyone participating in this forum ...

 

[AcWxRadar]

This would be my "wish" for a Christmas RTV present...

RTV50 - TV series, shows and movies from the 1950's
RTV60 - TV series, shows and movies from the 1960's
RTV70 - TV series, shows and movies from the 1970's
RTV80 - TV series, shows and movies from the 1980's

Also, if they air a series, I would like them to play them in chronological order, from pilot episode through the very last show, before repeating them.

And, of course, no commercials until the end of the show. Maybe a break in the middle of a movie for an intermission, but that is all. Well, they have to make money, so maybe 3-5 minutes of commercial on the half hour only. ???

Every time Ms. Bubba blows a fuse in our Circa 1850 farm house she says, "D-A-A-H-L-I-N-G, I plugged in a #4 and a #7 at the same time."

 

[Corrado]

Some programs like The Rifleman and Daniel Boone currently airing on TUFF TV are also on some of the RTV affiliates.

I look forward to even more RetroTV choices.

 

[amc1]

is all of this going to be on AMC9?or are they going to spread it to other sattelites?some of those shows bring back alot of memeries when i was a child in the 60"s

 

[jbmiller]

long live old tv series

[truckracer]

i like the retro stuff

 

[pedrogarcia]

I get the impression reading the link it is likely to be Ku, S2 most likely.

Does any have any idea how many FTAers there are US wide?

 

[Blindowl1234]

Guess I'll have to scrounge up cash for a receiver that will S2 sooner than later....guess I'll second mortgage the house...ooops I already did that. More channels sounds great. Green Acres was always one of my favorites. The earlier black and white Beverly Hillbillies stuff is public domain stuff. You see them quite a bit on some of the religious stations as filler. Blind
