MadCityHD - Madison, WI Digital TV

 

 

Retro Television Network (RTN) is coming to many cities in Wisconsin, including Madison on WKOW 27-2. In 2005 RTN was launched in several small TV markets across the US airing programs from the 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s. In 2007 RTN started to appear on many old WB and CW stations and in 2008 they switched their focus to digital sub-channels and cable companies to help expand their network coverage. RTN is owned by Equity Media Holdings (Little Rock, AR). Other stations adding RTN include: WBAY Green Bay, WREX Rockford, WXOW La Crosse, WAOW Wausau.
 

Not every market will have the same schedule. Here are the shows found on other RTNs:
The A-Team, The Andy Griffith Show, Bonanza, The Brady Bunch, The Dick Van Dyke Show, Emergency!, Family Affair, Family Ties, Get Smart, Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C., The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries, Happy Days, Hawaii Five-O, Hogan's Heroes, The Honeymooners, I Love Lucy, Ironside, Laverne and Shirley, Little House on the Prairie, The Lucy Show, Magnum P.I., Matlock, Mission: Impossible, Mork and Mindy, Off Beat Cinema, Perry Mason, Petticoat Junction, Rawhide, The Rockford Files, The Streets of San Francisco, and Wild Wild West.

I do know that the RTN signal for WKOW is already uplinked, and the Green Bay RTN is already on the air.  Surprisingly WKOW themselves have yet to confirm it.
