OK, I'm pretty sure I'm not ready for the amount of smack talk that I'm going to take after I post this, but. . .
For those who like old shows like:
Rockford Files, Happy Days, Hogan's Heros, Get Smart, Air Wolf, Night Rider, The Fugitive, The Monkeys, Ironside, Gunsmoke, Mission Impossible, Hawaii 5-0, Magnum P.I., Etc.
You are going to love RTN!
We launched it last Thursday on 13-2 our SD (over the air) channel. You can only receive it (right now) with a digital TV and either Rabbit Ears or a antanne (which is the best way to se any digital channels anyway). Soon (like 2 months or so) it will appear on cable digital tiers like WDBJ's My Network TV.
Try it, you'll like it.

are there plans to take 13-2 to HD?

Shows you need to add.

- Macgyver
- A-team

Im sure we can get a few other suggestions.

They are running shows that they have perpetual rights to air.

Are you guys planning a non-stop weather channel on your other secondary channel like most of America?

[Fumblerooskies]

That's great. I loved Hogan's Heroes.

I think they've been doing that for a while now.

[Knucklehead]

I'll try to answer some of the questions:
13-2 is Standard definition Digital and will not be HD 13-1 is HD
A-team is one of the shows on the weekends (I just listed a few examples)
We will not do a perpetual WX channel and haven't ever. We've been simulcasting regular 13 programming on all 3 until now. We wanted something different that folks would actually watch

[Sly Fox]

Weather gets watched. Its practically the only reason local news still exists in many markets.

Or, you could just sign up here & watch them anytime you want.

No one can say I'm not a fan.

[Knucklehead]

Yea, because TV over the net is such great quality! These shows have been digitally re-mastered from the original film or tape and look very good.

I was just giving an option for "those on the go" or "those that do not live in Lynchburg."

[Knucklehead]

Got ya, and I for one like the browser except the flavor!

[mrmacphisto]

Some more vintage sitcoms would be good to add too: Diff'rent Strokes, Family Ties, Who's The Boss and Coach come to mind. Sledge Hammer was a good one too.

[Fumblerooskies]

Sledge Hammer was a good one too.

THAT was classic. The big nuclear explosion at the final episode.

1 of my favs too. I'll make the suggestion if I get a chance.

excuse my ignorance, but 13-2, what?!

[Fumblerooskies]

That is the digital spectrum. The local digital channels have what is called sub-channels. 13-1, 10-1, 7-1, 27-1 are the main channels. 7-2 is the MYTV; 10-2 is weather, 13-2 is now Retro, and 27-2 is the digital simulcast of 5-analog.

[RubberMallet]

are they showing riptide?

[Knucklehead]

are they showing riptide?

Not yet, but the shows will change from time to time.
Some others I didn't mention:
Quincy, Happy Days, Matlock, Perry Mason, The Untouchables, Bonanza, Simon & Simon, Emergency, and more!

I will ask about Sledge Hammer. That was a funny show. I aired it for like 1 1/2 years when I did master control at another station in the '80s.
Here's a quick clip for those who've not seen it. http://youtube.com/watch?v=fktjw7gNv3M&feature=related

[Cider Jim]

Quincy is one of my all time favorite shows!
