4.2 Retro TV changing to Me-TV on 09-26-11

[drmark7]

On September 26th, WCMH-TV is going to switch local 4.2 from
RETRO-TV to "Me-TV" (Memorable Entertainment Television)

Me-TV ("Memorable Entertainment" TV) is a television network owned
by Weigel Broadcasting and distributed by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer that airs classic television sitcoms, dramas and classic commercials from
the 1950s through the 1980s.


I regretted the recent RETRO-TV change from all the old Universal
RETRO SHOWS (Like BEAVER, BACHELOR FATHER, JACK BENNY)-
bumping the value of RETRO down to little more than a few
powerhouses like: COMEDY SHOP, NAKED CITY, ROUTE 66, PETER GUNN
and THE BILL COSBY SHOW.

***BUT*** after looking at Me-TV's offerings, I *may* just relax!!!:

It's a shame we couldn't have BOTH channels.......I have also enjoyed RTV over the past few years, but have been waiting for this channel (AND Antenna Tv) to show up in Columbus....
