Now that WBAY has put out a program schedule of RTN 2-3, what are your initial impressions?

I love old TV shows, and I know my dad can't wait for Time Warner to pick up the channel (as a loyal TV Land viewer).  I'm especially looking forward to catching up with a few episodes of The Monkees this weekend!  (No, really... I am...)

So far I have only seen a few weeknight shows. I like Matlock, Perry Mason, and Hogan's Heros. My wife likes Magnum PI. I wish there was a bigger selection, but I do like the older shows.

Some of the shows are worth the watch. Some good classics, although there are some I've never heard of. The old commercials are a nice flashback too.

The RTN web page is under construction, so no info there.

I wish some of the other channels in the area would do simulcasting like WBAY and PBS. Maybe the trend will catch on?
