RTN Coming to New York City DMA!

If you have not heard (or seen) yet, RTV (or RTN?) called the Retro Television Network is coming to WSAH on channel 42 if you get locals from the NYC DMA from Dish Network's LiL satellite feed effective July 1st.

Usually RTN is on some digital sub channel but here it is going to be on the WSAH main channel and only channel that I know of that they broadcast.

Currently WSAH broadcasts the Gem's Television Network. I wanted to see what we will get from RTN when it starts but I am still seeing Gem's into July on my Dish receiver 9 day programming guide.

If I go to the RTN (http://www.myretrotv.com) site, I can find a national feed link for WSAH that looks better than great. Fantastic is the word!

RTN is usually different on different stations all across the country. Is NYC getting all of the shows shown on the RTN web site? If true, WOW! That is excellent!! Most RTN stations only take some of the shows.

But why is my programming guide not showing RTN yet when it should?

I used to get RTN on a local station, First they dropped the rtn programing , went hello programing, Finely the station disappeared completely. I would love to get RTN again,, Hello programing wasn't that great,, RTN was much better...

Same thing here. Our Fox affiliate was showing retro and then dropped it to put in a crappy CW SD feed (and I mean crappy - everything has a grrenish tint to it and the SD is even bad SD). I really miss RTN (since I'm pretty retro myself). One half hour of Get Smart a day is better than 24/7 of anything on CW. Nothing on the RTN that the whole family can't enjoy. Hokey, but clean.

Wish it were better, only getting about 5 hours of programing and many repeat episodes so far.
