1-1-09 WCMH will start showing Retro Television Network on 4.2.

As of January 1st, 2009, Weather Plus is now gone, replaced by "RTN" (Retro Television Network) This appears to be a UNIVERSAL Studios-related channel as programming I've noted so far is all from that studio: NIGHT GALLERY, THE ROCKFORD FILES, KOJACK, SIMON AND SIMON. Sadly, there seems to be a BIG HELPING of INFOMERCIALS. But this is MUCH better than a weather channel!

(Columbus is not yet listed as an affiliate/no schedule listed)

An INCREDIBLE offering of old TV shows- many unseen for years!

There's been no change yet in the listings at TITAN TV Quick Guide:

I get a very clear signal, here in Lancaster, Ohio.

It would be nice if Channel 4 got a correct schedule up for viewers to follow.
(It does say generically "RTN Programming" at the Titan TV site now.)

After a nice start, 4.2 RETRO TV has been messed up for the past 24 hours or so. They are starting shows at odd times, like 10 mins after the hour or 5 minutes til the hour. There has been a lot of digital breakup- not antenna related- as if they are showing it off an unstable, recorded source. Right now /11:45pm Monday/ it's just AWFUL! (Are other viewers seeing this???)

Let's hope this isn't a sign of things to come...

Yes, I saw problems last night too. I have TWC and DishNetwork (RTN via antenna), and in both guides programming was appearing as Weather Plus. Cable had a steady signal, but the antenna would not bring in a clear picture.

[Jakebert]

Watched Leave it to Beaver yesterday until the signal froze. It's back up and running McHale's Navy right now. I'm not sure if it's a QAM channel or what. My tv just tells me it's a digital signal. According to www.myretrotv.com (http://www.myretrotv.com), they have some decent family programming as well as a couple of my old faves, Harry and The Hendersons and some Alfred Hitchcock shows. Now I just have to figure out what time the shows broadcast.

[drmark7]

Now on 4.2, (Thu 3am) they are showing a Weather Map again, since about 8pm! And still, the past 24 hours have been full of unsteady broadcasts... blanking out and start times not coinciding on the hour or half hour and not corresponding with any set programming guide... though looking ahead on TITAN... by Friday, early Saturday at 1am... they ARE listing ACTUAL SHOWS on the schedule.. not just "RTN Programming." Disappointing... this is 2009! and WCMH 4!... Can't they get this station programmed RIGHT????? And PLEASE... eliminate the INFOMERCIALS!!!! Your viewers want ALTERNATIVES to cable, not the same thing!!!

Sounds like RTN has been having some legal difficulties:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retro_Television_Network


On January 4, 2009, a contract conflict between Equity Media Holdings Corporation and RTN interrupted the programming on many RTN affiliates. As a result, Luken restored a national RTN feed from its headquarters in Chattanooga, Tennessee, with individual customized feeds to non-Equity-owned affiliates to follow on a piecemeal basis. Equity owned or operated stations will lose RTN affiliation immediately, though Luken vows to find new affiliates for RTN in those areas.
Luken Communications, alleging that Equity had left millions of dollars in unpaid debts to RTN's programming suppliers, moved RTN's programming to a new uplink facility using an SES Americom-owned satellite. The network's website also moved after Equity refused to release the rtnville.com domain name.

[drmark7]

Thanx for this update. That wasn't on wiki, last I looked. It explains the haphazard programming for the last few days. Some overnight shows I recorded to view, not only started past the half hour mark, they CONCLUDED PREMATURELY and started the next show- which also cut to the next before it was over.

>>>>The network's website also moved after Equity refused
>>>>to release the rtnville.com domain name.

It's now: http://www.myretrotv.com

I found this explanation in an online article:
http://postproduction.digitalmedianet.com/articles/viewarticle.jsp?id=620528&afterinter=true

************************************************** ****************************
A feud between former RTN owner Equity Media Holdings Corporation (EMHC) and current owner Luken Communications saw the retro TV digital channel go dark for some 3 1/2 hours early Sunday morning. // Working from a new operations center in Chattanooga, Luken scrambled to get a national feed back in place for RTN’s 80-plus affiliates, which include WJLA Washington and WNWO Toledo, some which insert local content. He said the feed was up within 3 ½ hours of RTN going dark, and that stations’ individual feeds will be in place in a week or so. // Luken says he’ll continue to ingest RTN affiliates’ customized content over the next few days. “It’s been a crazy 48 hours, though I did get a 4-hour nap,” he says. “But we’ve got a good crew here.”
************************************************** ****************************
And this here:
http://www.tvnewsday.com/articles/2009/01/05/daily.5
Luken said that Equity made sure that RTN's takeover of its distribution would not be easy. On Friday, he said, "Equity sent us the playlists with commercial insertions in the form of a 16,000-page PDF. For us to effectively and smoothly make the transition, we would have somehow had to enter 16,000 pages of documents into playlist control in less than two days," Luken said. "They didn't want us to transition."
************************************************** ****************************

So let's presume, since it's currently still on 4.2, that it will continue...

Thanks for the updates!!!

Why is there so much pixelation on this channel? At times during fades, if you look real close it looks like YouTube video quality. Also, why don't they use bumpers, bugs or graphics to tell you what show you're watching? Not everybody has a video guide ... besides, it's a pain to flip back and forth.

I think they are running off of digitally recorded program downloads to local affiliates. The affiliates must be able to pick and choose whatever they want to show. 6.2/ THIS TV also suffers because of this. RETRO TV still isn't back to "normal" since their legal problems after January 2009. Their TITAN TV listings are accurate about half the time. RETRO is often riddled with infomercials instead of what's listed at TITAN. Let's hope this sidestep doesn't bring down this great channel that's been a GREAT free alternative to cable programming. As a classic TV fan, I've been watching almost 24/7 to see great shows like RUN FOR YOUR LIFE and CRISIS/KRAFT SUSPENSE THEATER that haven't been seen in DECADES!

To see the garbled pixels, watch closely especially when there is a fade from one scene to another. Pretty crappy video, IMO, and I don't think it's coming from the Channel 4 side of things since the commercials look about normal for a 480i side channel. The RTN feed is either crappy, or they're being too stingy on the bandwidth.

[drmark7]

Suppose I'm beating a dead horse, but on my latest observations, the programming at the Retro Channel is still a mess. The pixilation continues. I'm almost willing to accept that, due to the rarity and entertainment value of what they are showing. They have been repeating the *same episodes* of shows in the same time slots just *days apart*. That said, if the episode has a bad recording (such as low, fluttery sound) it is repeated the same way. The Titan TV listings are getting closer to what's being shown. It's very frustrating, wanting to be a consumer of this channel, but not knowing exactly what's on. (For instance, a DARN infomercial in place of a listed program.) As of just a couple of days ago, they were STILL SHOWING COMMERCIALS FOR THE **NEW YEARS EVE** BASH in Downtown Columbus!!! So that's about how out of synch they are.

[Rob052067]

Today, NBC4 'officially' announced the launch of RTN on digital channel 4.2. Hopefully, they've worked out all the kinks and the picture quality will be better and the programming will match the guides.

Also, for those persons interested in programming similar to RTN, check out American Life Network. They air a lot of classic shows, too. It's available on TWC ch. 143 and Insight ch. 182. It does not appear to be available from WOW, AT&T Uverse, DirecTV, or DishNetwork, at this time.

Not just yet... As of Monday... Though they have freshened up the local commercials for channel 4- The programs still don't always match the guide. They are still showing the occasional TV episode that runs past the hour, interfering with the next. This morning (Weds) they ran THE TODAY SHOW, instead of the usual sitcom lineup I am so fond of. And todays episode of THE BOLD ONES is the SAME ONE they ran TWICE LAST WEEK!!! They also replaced the 8pm infomercial hour with the local "WEEKDAY COLUMBUS" show. (Which one is more useless???) Work out the kinks and give us all RETRO TV SHOWS!

Don't be too hard on them, at least they are trying to do something local with that show ... although I must say it's about as interesting as watching the Ohio House of Representatives on the Ohio Channel. But give them credit for trying, the last thing we need is another hour of syndicated trash talk exploring how "my baby's daddy" wronged his "baby's mamma".

I think these news and info shows have run their course, just like all the C-rate talk radio shows out there. It's time for someone to do something different than just adding another half-hour of news. Is Columbus so interesting that we need all that news?

WCMH has such a great heritage when it comes to local and regional programming from the old WLWC days. That show is a good start, but I think they need to spice it up a bit. How hard is it to hire a trio to play some cheesy music in the studio? That alone would spice things up. Check out this clip from the old Paul Dixon Show, which David Letterman credits as being a big influence:

why does nbc think i want to watch 30 year old tv shows? dtv was supposed to be about moving forward, not backward. what's next, 4.3 will show black and white tv shows from the 50s?

[Robbiee19]

Some people do like the 30 year old tv shows to watch.

it would interesting to see what a large scale poll would reveal of the percentage of people that watch those old shows at least once a week.

But I have DVRed some of the shows already and some of my freinds like some of the old shows too after I told them about the channel. Not everyone cares for all the shows the networks put on today. Its nice to watch some of the old ones and get a laugh at the styles and hair from the 60s and 70s. Thats half the fun of it.

I watch it fairly regularly. Alfred Hitchcock when I have insomnia, Adam 12 and Dragnet is on in the background between 5 and 6, and on the weekends I have caught "Alias, Smith and Jones" which I also liked. I can't say I watch it any more or less than any other channel, but it sure beats the pants off of that crappy weather channel they had.

The network shows are either slimy or preachy, subliminally trying to cram their lib lifestyles down peoples throats (no I'm not a kook, but study the subject matter of most crap network shows such as Friends or even good ones like Seinfeld). I liked these old shows because they were just entertainment and old comedies were just plain funny.

Maybe not a 'kook', but definitely 'kooky'! Claiming the networks are forcing a liberal lifestyle on you with shows like Friends or Seinfield is the same as claiming that shows like Dr Quinn or Nash Bridges were forcing conservative lifestyles on their viewers. There's just TV shows. :rolleyes:

If you look at things objectively, don't you think the subject matter of this shows is kind of rough? Watch an old episode of "The Fugitive", it was just a good show without invading my space with lib lifestyle crap.

But don't watch "All in the Family", "Soap" or "M*A*S*H".

[vman41]

My TiVo recored Battlestart Galactica as a suggestion but the sound was way way out of sync. It was in sync for the commercial breaks, but not for the program material. Also, the aspect ratio seemed off.

That so-called 'lib lifestyle crap' is just a more accurate reflection of a diverse American viewership. TV programs tend to imitate life far more than life imitates TV. But that is far more true today than in decades past. There were were few if any real families like those presented on 'Leave it to Beaver' or 'Father Knows Best' or 'Ozzie and Harriet'. They were just someone's perceptions of idealism.

Today, it's appalling and shocking to see Ricky Ricardo spank his wife Lucy when she disobeyed him. Back then, it would have been equally shocking to see married characters in the same bed together on TV, let alone teenagers or gay couples. The changes in human portrayals on TV over the years simply reflect the changes in American culture at large. Today's society is freer, more open, more educated, and more aware of the diversity of human lives. That's progress, and it's a good thing.

I've never seen Ricky Ricardo slap Lucy before, but that's beside the point. But then again, what do you say to a woman with two black eyes? Nothing. You already told her. Twice. And what do all battered women have in common? They just don't know how to listen.

That said, a Family Guy rerun tonight featured Lois teling Meg that waiting for marriage was a bunch of crap. In my opinion they are Prostelitizing their messed up liberal values, or lack thereof instead of simply being just funny and entertaining. So, if you want some messed up Hollywood lib writer preaching to your children, that's up to you. I would rather watch some old shows that are generally better written and leave the deviant behavior at the door.

Is that all you took away from that episode? Family Guy often provides very cutting edge satire, as they did in this episode. There were characters presenting both sides of the issue of teen-sex education in schools. Of course, it cannot be denied that the writers obviously showed their preference for one position over the other, but I did not feel the least bit preached at. I've seen the episode twice before, and it was still hilarious again tonite.

That's kind of my point. Aren't you sick of hearing about all this crap? Really now, how reflective are these pet lib causes of what happens in your everyday life? Do you go around everyday moping about the Supreme Court taking abortions away from you? People are sick of this crap, they just want to be entertained and that's my point. The Fugitive (one of my all-time favorite shows) didn't deal with a single lofty issue during it's 5 year run except for a single episode where a woman was bitter because Dr. Kimble refused to perform an abortion. Richard Kimble didn't hand out contraceptives, the one-armed man wasn't portrayed as an oppressed class, it was simply a well-written, entertaining show.

Get my drift?

There are plenty of programs available for you to watch that provide mindless entertainment. If you don't like to watch programs that make you think and challenge your personal preconceptions, just turn the channel.

No, I think he means that "drone" like in the movie "Seven" when Gwyneth Paltrow (who is married to Brad Pitt in the movie) pours out her soul to Morgan Freeman (whom she just met) about just finding out she's pregnant and deciding whether she wants to keep the baby or not. If that isn't liberal indoctrination, trying to make the abnormal seem normal, I don't know what is. Just entertain me and spare me the pinko politics.

It seems to me that a conservative like yourself would love a movie like Seven. It's about a guy who kills people for sinning. What's not to love?!?!

I watched Buck Rogers and BSG last Saturday night (delayed-buffer via OTA antenna thru my Dish box) and didn't have any sound problems. The picture quality ain't so great, but afterall they are working with 30-year old video.

[drmark7]

The picture quality ain't so great, but after all, they are working with 30-year old video.

That really shouldn't matter if it is remastered and/or properly broadcast.

I'm not sure what's still going on as far as "problems" behind the scenes on the channel. As far as what we're receiving... they *more or less* have a regular schedule in place.

I hate to say... they are STILL showing some of the SAME episodes of certain series OVER AND OVER AND OVER. Twice in the same time slot- within the same week. This is not a common way to show reruns.

And while some shows regularly look pretty good, sharp and vivid,
others still can look pixilated like a you tube presentation. This sometimes varies from day to day, episode to episode of the same series. I feel almost certain it's how they are receiving or recording their transmission for later broadcast.

And though they mention it in advertising and I know it's a part of RETRO TV- I hope they continue NOT to show the "Talk radio"-type shows during late night and continue with as many old TV series as they can.

And PLEASE... LESS infomercials!!!

We need an ALTERNATIVE to what we find on cable and other broadcast channels. Not more of the SAME!

(AUGUST 2009) They still haven't got this channel right...

Many times the vintage TV episodes are shown with either a LOW SOUNDTRACK or an OUT OF SYNCH SOUNDTRACK.

As I'm watching... the 1am showing of PETER GUNN has a soundtrack so low it can barely be heard. Yet the commercials BLAST LOUDLY!

And in many cases... (THE BOLD ONES) they repeat the same episodes OVER AND OVER and if it was shown with a low or out of synch soundtrack before, they show it the same way AGAIN!

They must download their programming and broadcast it with no idea what they have downloaded.

This is sometimes worse than what you'd find on YouTube!

And though I'm probably complaining into the wilderness... WHY do they broadcast so many hours of PAID PROGRAMMING/ INFOMERCIALS!!!!?????
(Same with THIS TV on 6,2... HOURS and HOURS of weekly infomercials- often times interrupting listed movies and TV series.)

As I've said B4- what we need is an ALTERNATIVE to broadcast and cable- with actual SHOWS to WATCH, instead of infomercials!!!

[drmark7]

There was a big change at RETRO this past week. They lost their deal with Universal and all the Universal shows are gone! The added a few new shows. Most notable NAKED CITY and ROUTE 66. Some unusual artifacts on those two presentations. NAKED CITY has razor sharp BW image, but has some sort of weird processing and any time there is sudden movement there are strange EDGES that surround the moving image. Seems quite prevalent to me. On ROUTE 66- another show with crisp, BW prints, but on the first two episodes, the images were SQUEEZED, like an old widescreen movie shown flat. The only thing I can think is, knowing that the first DVD release of ROUTE 66 was presented, for unknown reasons as LETTERBOXED! So me must have been seeing prints from that- only not letterboxed, but squeezed to fill the whole screen. It looked quite odd. But since Wednesday, reverted to normal images.
