Greetings! I too discovered THIS TV Nov. 1st on my digital tuner. I wish THIS TV had their own website with a schedule. So you could look ahead to see what movies and shows are coming. I've Googled and found none. No local print guide has listings yet. I also wonder why THIS TV shows most of their widescreen movies in fullscreen? I thought digital and HD was moving towards widescreen!

A breath of fresh air from the reality shows and court shows on other TV stations.

I now spend a great deal of time watching This TV!

I too would love if they had a website with a schedule of what's coming on!

You can check the schedule for THIS TV on these sites:

Enjoy!

This channel is great love that stuff from the
60's

Hey Andrew......... thanks for the info on a schedule for "This TV" I really appreciate it!

I found THIS tv today and I really enjoyed it. The only problems are that most of the early MGM titles are owned by turner which lessens their collections quality a little. Maybe they should sign a deal with a smaller studio like Lionsgate

Also Im bummed because the Detroit affilliate is dropping it for .2 TV.

Im hoping that the MY-TV 20, or CW affiliate pick it up cuz it was awesome.

I ENJOY YOUR CHANNEL BUT DON'T LIKE FLIPPING TO YOUR CHANNEL EVERY 30 MINUTES TO SEE WHAT'S ON.A TV GUIDE WOULD GET YOU MORE VIEWERS.

HEY GUYS
I'M SURE YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR TV SCHEDULE IS FOR THE NEXT WEEK OR SO.I HAVE LEFT YOU MY E-MAIL ADDRESS,PLEASE SEND ME ONE,UNTIL BETTER ACCESS TO A TV GUIDE IS AVAILABLE.

We have This TV on 19-2 in Cincinnati, Ohio, and we have been waiting for a channel like this forever. It's great, a wide variety classic TV series, and great movies. I can't say thank you enough for This TV. Sonya

I forgot to ask, is there a way you can notify me when a website is available so I can post it to myspace so I can help advertise (for free)!!!
Thank you again

Sonya Elbert

The fact that you don't have a schedule posted is going to keep me from watching this channel!!! It says you don't care about your viewers. If you did you would provide a detailed list. Unless you don't know what your going to show on the next program. I don't think that is the case. Take us into consideration please.

WOW, Just found THIS and THIS is great. I love it!

When are you going to publish a schedule,keep me imformed. thanks TOM HANES

hello" found you network on satellite, what a great network, great movies. it about time there a channel like THIS TV. hopeing that one of are channels in Sacramento california, well pick this network up as a subchannel. we need more channels like this. thank you and keep up that great work. p.s give the cable companys a run for there money

Wow! we just got "this" channel today & we are going to love it. We love most of the older movies, so we will be watching it a lot. I think eventually there will be a website for it & a schedule posted. With our converter box we are able to preview the next 3 programs coming up.

For all of these schedule questions try going to titantv on google...type in your zip code. It lists all "this" programming in the Milwaukee market anyway..Happy Viewing!

great station havnt watched another since it came on im in northern kentucky hope you all stay an dont go anywhere also would like to see a website with some show listings if possable

I have discovered THIS TV. I really enjoy the movies, it's raally nice to see the oldies and laugh at some of the styles and acting methods. Plus the classic TV is great. I just wish I could find a web schedule. I'd probably watch more.

Found THIS TV on our local channel 10, free and not on digital. Love the old movies. This beats having to turn TV off while all the soap operas are on!

I happened upon thisTV earlier this month and out of curiosity... typed http://thistvnetwork.net in the address bar and viewed programming from 01/26/2009 thru 02/01/2009.

I just love this station. I love the old movies, especially the black-and-white movies. Kudos.

I was hopefully thinking the station "this" that has one movie after another would be wonderfully entertaining... but instead, the majority of films are weird, full of aliens, murder, and way off beat. I am very disappointed that I have yet to see something inspirational and inspiring. Therefore I have resorted to DVD movies from the library that gives me more choice for healthy fun and more worthwhile.

www.titantv.com This website provides a complete listing for ALL digital channels including THIS TV. For all those people that must see what's on THIS TV and other digital channels.

Sonya Elbert in Cincinnati

Love THIS! And many thanks to all of you who passed on the URLl for program listings.

Just found THIS television. Great entertainment. Haven't seen these movies in years. Yes, I will check out Titan tv guide for schedule. However, THIS does list the movies coming on NOW, NEXT, LATER and advertises the movies coming up in the very near future. Such a pleasure to see a station like this. Beats out Showtime, HBO, CINEMAX who seem to show the same movies over and over again. Who wants to watch cops shows all the time on networks?! I don't mind the commercial breaks very much. Gotta get up and get something to eat sometime! Please don't put too many commercials in the breaks! Some networks use five minutes of commercials and show 10 minutes of programming then five more minutes of commercials. The variety of movies is excellent.

U discovered THIS TV yesterday (airing on Boston's NBC sub-channel, WHDH-TV, 7-02), and it's an idea I've dreamed of myself for a long time, especially since broadcast TV affiliates stopped airing syndicated episodes of classic TV series' decades ago, and Nick At-Nite and even TV Land abandoned their missions to preserve classic TV except more recent and only the most popular series' a long time ago now as well.

I noticed from 6:00 to 8:00 am Tuesday that THIS TV is airing two episodes each of "The Patty Duke Show " and "Mister Ed." It's not been too long since TV Land dropped "ED" from their roster, but Duke's eponymous sitcom stopped airing nationally when Nick At-Nite dropped it (along with "The Many Loves Of Dobie Gillis") back in the early 1990's.

Still THIS TV might fare better if, instead of airing twin episodes daily of two series, it aired single episodes of four classic sitcoms. That way the syndicated packages can last longer and there would be more variety. Following the two episodes mode is really no different than TV Land's "Twice As Nice" format.

There are loads of sitcoms not aired nationally or in syndication in years, many never aired since they were originally broadcast on networks in prime time. I am sure many are cheaply obtained even and in the public domain, or arrangements could be made to obtain even licensed properties in bulk for a discount.

After all, better programming make some profits than to have properties gathering dust on shelves. This renewed interest could also result in digitization of sitcoms never transferred to the modern technological format.

One more thing, that addresses the sponsor angle directly, which, after all, is on what broadcast TV programming is based--

The Nielsen Comopany and other TV/ad revenues-based trackers should really consider some system for accurately dounting or approximating those viewers who record broadcast programming. Merely because a viewer TiVo's or records on her/his DVR or VCR doesn't necessarily mean shows aren't being viewed with their sponsor content.

In fact, except when I am watching recorded programming with a houseguest (and sometimes even when I do), I generally allow the recording to run in real time, which allows to take bathroom and snack breaks just as if watching live. Sometimes it's not worth the effort it takes to pick up a remote control and risk fast forwarding past programming, just better to let the recordings run as aired.

Taking this ratings scenario into consideration, affiliates carrying the programming of these sub-channels could be assured their sponsors' interests being served, thus hopefully preserving and assuring the airings of long-missed and favorite programming from the past, also exposing new generations to the TV classics.

I add this because I know advertising is the lifeblood, the mother's milk, if you will, of broadcast TV. But viewers have grown very tired of endless hours of infomercials associated with no programming in the overnight hours and weekends, and the overwhelming, overdone quantity of judge and trash-talk shows airing in daytime weekdays.

So everyone who loves great TV--please keep watching these sub-channels of your broadcast affiliates. And write the stations and the advertisers telling them you want more. And if you are asked by a ratings service if you also watch sponsor content when you watch recorded programming, you know what advertisers want to hear. A word to the wise is sufficient.

i am a john wayne nut ,among other older stars and i would like to be able to know when their movies are going to be on the tube ahead of time . is here a way to get a listing of the movies , say for a week or so ahead ?

I live in the Toronto Ontario area and pick up THIS TV on Digital TV sub-channel 7-2 out of Buffalo. It is refreshing to find a station that shows classic movies. I was also a fan of the RTN Network which THIS TV replaced and, like Jim M, enjoy the classic sitcom's and agree with his comments. Personally I wouldn't mind more classic TV shows mixed in with the movies. THIS TV is long overdue and my friends are in envy since it is not offered on Cable in our area and can only be picked up Over-The-Air. Keep up the good work!

THIS TV has come to Tulsa too. I found the guide by adding it to my 'My Yahoo' page guide. I can see what it coming on that way. For those who Yahoo!, use your My Yahoo page option to have a TV Guide and add it to the listings. FWIW - My Yahoo is a great way to keep current on what is playing at your local theaters too. (I don't work for Yahoo, btw, just like the ability to persanlize the My Yahoo page with what I want to know).

I grew up in a far better time. Movies and videos were family oriented and you didn't blush at the risque situations and explicit material. This TV is running movies and classic television without caving in to that which is less noble and dignified.

I'm hoping to see episodes of Alice and other favorites of mine such as Nanny and the Professor, Big Valley, Bonanza, and Wild Wild West.

Keep up the great work at This TV. An oasis in a desert of tired court programs, infomercials and reality programs where frustrated egotists discuss subjects like: castrated men who are afraid of the bicycle bar.

THIS is in Boise too! We love that it is free.

I discovered it last night, and now I will need to return my stack of recently checked out but yet unread library books.

I, too discovered This and it really is a pleasure to see the old shows around for viewing
However, is there any reason why these shows are not in close captioning:??
Thanks??

I just discovered THIS in the Detroit area.
Great Movies!!! Thank you for a refreshing new channel.

THIS TV program listings can be found on TITANTV.com

I glanced at the various programs and considering that they have rights to all of the UA and MGM movies and programs... its a pitiful lineup. Nothing remotely good on there that is within recent memory. Mr. Ed? The Patti Duke show? Please, this is tvland fair and if thats your target audience, fine, but don't advertise THIS as a new channel that has something for kids and adults. Its really sad, they need to put something that people want to watch on here.

When is Los Angeles going to see some movies on THIS TV? It's been saying its "coming soon" for a few days now...but when???

I love your station! Thank you so much! Each day I am getting more channels with my DTV box. I may not need cable anymore!

I get This TV in Portland, OR and the schedule is available at tvguide.com. Just enter in your local info for broadcast tv and it is there.

THIS TV, the only reason I've gone back to watching my local NBC affliiate. For so long they had the worst weather station tansmitting on 10.2 in the whole of the US of A. These were the people that gave you Georgia's Gulf Coast? yeah, that what my grandson said to me to.. I'll stick with them as long as they have THIS TV but for the rest of it. They are welcome. It maybe THIS TV will save them cause nothing else will.

this tv showed up last week on one of our cape giradeau missour channel 12.3 and i loved it then it kicked back off on 2/17/09 and wont tune back in where did it go i loved it.......

Loved THIS TV and now it has discovered from my TV lineup. I did a retune and somehow lost it. Same comment as Karen - it was here - I loved it and now it is gone!!

I live in Orange County Cal. I've been waiting for "This TV" to start the programing in my area.
When is that going to happen? How come so many other people in other parts of the country have this channel up and running? Lets get things up to speed guys !!!!
Thanks... JJr.

Altho I'm on Comcast digital cable here in Portland, OR, I've found the Titan TV website to be helpful in figuring out which DTV multicasts Comcast carries and which ones they don't. I just surfed by Titan and discovred that KATU (ABC) is carrying 'This' on DTV 2.2, which is really 43.2 because of bitmapping. KATU's carraige of 'This' is so recent that I don't think they've formally announced it yet (KATU's website does list 'This' in their on-website schedule grid, which comes from Titan). At present Comcast here carries KGW (NBC)'s weather channel (which takes over for NBC's discontinued Weather+ service) and a multicast from Oregon Public Broadcasting (PBS) which splits time between PBS Create and an alternate OPB schedule that's promoted as OPB+, and that's all. (OPB-DT carries two multicasts plus the regular schedule and will likely expand to 3 or 4 multicasts after the switchover.) I'm assuming Comcast will expand their coverage of DTV multicasts after the transition from analog to DTV now scheduled for 12 June (all the Portland stations mutually opted to wait 'til the new date). Best, M. ;->

Thank you for showing some decent movies and ones that have a good, moral message along with the ones that don't.

this tv showed up week or so ago on one of our cape giradeau missour channel 12.3 and we loved it then it kicked back off on 2/17/09 and wont tune back in where did it go? will it be back on? it was a good decent family channel..

Here's a channel listing guide if you haven't found you yet. http://www.thistvnetwork.net/

Thanks for saving us (non cable subscribers) from reality TV
hell. What a wonderful new channel. I love B&W films like many
other baby boomers. I can't wait to see what's coming up.

Ive been waiting for a channel like this for a long time. Me and my freinds have been waiting for THIS to start broadcasting for several weeks here in Southern California, Well, They started today, Feb. 28, 2009. We cant be happier. Movies all day long, David Carridine in SAFFARI 2000, Elvis Presley, Laviathan, ITS GREAT. Movies all day, every day. My TV has been on chanel 5.2 all day. TV is fun again.
THANK YOU THIS tv, we love you here in SO CAL.
Terence Mc Donald

And Please , PLEASE stay on air, Dont ever turn it off.
Terry

I found this station today on ch 5-2 on my hdtv tuner, great picture and sound on my home theater system. I live near Los Angeles.

E-mail me at tomp1253@msn.com

I have been waiting for "THIS" To come to us in the Long Beach aera.now it is here and I LOVE IT !
Plus it is FREE...and for seniors like myself on fixed incomes. means no cable bills...and movies
I can remmember...great job.....

Madero Ocampo ( Mat )

I was watching "THIS" earlier today also in Los Angeles area but now get only sound and the "coming soon" screen. What happened?

had THIS TV until today 2-28-09 and now its gone...what's going on in Whittier, Ca?

I've been watching the "logo" for a while now. I'm super happy to see it broadcasting now. Looking forward to some good retro films!

In Los Angeles,So. Bay... came home this evening..turned on channel 5.2... = sound + THIStv logo but No picture. ): You're probably working on the problem as I type.. perhaps tomorrow..Mar 1st we'll have video again? :D
I did enjoy it yesterday when it worked.
Well,.. off to one of the pbs channels for now. /:

I live in the Long Beach area too,and for a while there was the logo,and then I saw some shows like the OUTER LIMITS,PATTIE DuKE,AND MR.ED,and now it's just sound? I hope it is just matinence.I know how the Cable Companies wanna get their greedy hands on anything free..So please say it's just matinance,and that it will all be back.. Thanks.

OOOPS!!! What happened to the picture ?? only sound now....and for those who need the tv listings..go to http://thistvnetwork.net/
it is central time but still okay.The last picture I saw was the 28th about 3pm. and POOF!
no picture,,just sound ( like a old radio prgrame ) PLEASE ,PLEASE BRING BACK OUR PICTURE
SOON....I ALREDY MISS "THIS"
Mat Ocampo

I had it for about 12 hours and now it's back to the "Coming Soon" logo. I do have audio but no video. Has anyone else experienced this and who do you contact to let them know there's a glitch?
I live in the Los Angeles area.

THIS TV is great. I don't like reality, cooking, sports, court room, soap opera, sales,stand up comedy or all advertising shows. I do like news, variety, National GEO, autobiography, How To Do Things, comedy, some talk shows and movies (most all varieties except space and gore). National stations seem to rerun the same movies year after year along with too many CSI programs. I'm tired of seeing a close up corpse when I'm trying to relax and eat pop corn. With "THIS TV" I can watch or record for later and I don't have to thumb through the other 140 channels that I don't watch and feel that it is a hugh waste of broadcast bandwidth.
Wes

was looking forward to the new channel, but on 2-28-09 I no longer received a picture only audio, this is now 3-2-09 and it now reminds me of the days of radio. whats up ?

There hasn't been a picture for days (in the L.A. market). Just audio, making this channel a pointless and frustrating tease. Why haven't they, whoever they are, fixed it?

For those in the LA area, I wrote to KTLA. Here is their response:

Dear Barbara,

Thank you for your email. We appreciate your interest in THIS TV Network.

The engineering department is still doing testing of the video and audio equipment so there will be random times when you might see and hear the Network and other times when we have the graphic up with audio in the background. Engineering needs to have the proper equipment in place before we can fully launch THIS TV Network.

We do not have a firm launch date available just yet.

Sincerely,

KTLA Programming

A side note:

Perhaps if some others contact KTLA (or whatever station is carrying THIS TV in your area)

http://www.ktla.com/contact_programming

they might get the idea that we are looking for it and step up their testing.

What happened to the images? We were only able to watch for one day. When will the "bugs" get worked out? Soon I hope.

Anxiously waiting.

how about a phone number so we can call you when you fall asleep and don't have any sound.
THIS-TV is the channel I watch all the time on 26.4
in Chicago, IL But it sucks when we have to see 50% of a movie with no sound.

What's up with your broadcast, I watched movies for two days last week. Liked what I saw and now I hear your movies but all I see is your Coming Soon graphic. Pasadena CA.

The continuing saga in Southern California . . .
Yesterday I lost the station altogether for several hours. It's back on with the "Coming Soon" logo but again, I wrote to KTLA telling them this was frustrating and irritating. They need to get on with it or not but what we have is not acceptable.
This was their reply (so I guess we have another month, at least of this)

Dear Barbara,

Thank you for your email. We appreciate your interest in THIS TV Network. We are sorry you are frustrated and hope you will be patient a little longer.

The engineering department is still doing testing of the video and audio equipment so there will be random times when you might see and hear the Network and other times when we have the graphic up with audio in the background. Engineering needs to have the proper equipment as well as backup equipment in place before we can fully launch THIS TV Network.

We do not have a firm launch date available just yet. We hope to be able to launch sometime in April. To get an idea of what’s to come, visit www.this.tv.

Sincerely,
KTLA Programming

If all we are going to get is audio then why bother? If you can't work out the bugs in research and development then you need a new staff working R&D. This is broadcast, if you can't broadcast quality you might as well shut down until you can.

HEY !!!! Anyone at the wheel??? I don't want to look a gift horse in the mouth..Thanks for free TV ..BUT this will only benefit blind people.. The sound doesn't do me, or the others that would like to VEIW this channel a darn bit of good.. As the one poster said. WHY BOTHER? Is there a techical problem? Or as I stated before.Is anyone at the wheel (that means,is someone checking on whether or not that the FULL transmission is working?) Is this a pointless link too?? So people won't complain anywhere else,and then give up?Please we would like to know.. Regardless,I am still not gonna be blackmailed into paying the high cost of Pay Cable.. I'll just use my converter box,or go online to watch stuff. You Tube helps too...

Hello -

Yes I have only had audio - now video.
Guess that is better than the other way?

I live in California.
Costa Mesa - 92627

I lost the channel all together.
What channel should it be on.
Totally online beginning of April?

i love this channel because you can see movies for free the way we used to watch as a kid in the 1960s without watching all those lousy paid programs that take up all the tv time. I live in Norwalk CA, were watching shows on this TV when all of a sudden the programs went off and all we here is just the sounds. Can you please let us know why this is happening and when you will be back on air? So we can view these good channels. Thank you.

Raymond,

THIS TV just recently began in the Tampa area...and it's great. The fact that it shows a lot of movies is a real plus for me. (Movies on any other channel, including the major networks, seem to be far and few in between.) I'm glad to have seen THIS show up here!

I've been watching THIS more than all other channels. (I get HD via air broadcast.) But the TV listings could be a bit more accurate. I missed much of the "Code 42" movie because the Info button on my TV said the wrong thing, and so did http://www3.whdh.com/primetime/thistv/ .

I mean, I had to go online on my computer to find out what I was watching, and even there, the information was not quite accurate when "Code 42" was on.

I love THIS tv - with only an anteane on the roof we really love the idea of tuning into a movies only station. Thank You.

I live in Memphis, Tennessee and have been trying to watch THIS TV for about a month now. I love older movies, but the reception breaks up about every five seconds, the voices and lip movements are often out of sync and sometimes the picture is lost altogether. I view THIS TV on WMC-TV Ch. 5. Can you help? Thanks!

anyone know when this tv will start in los angeles area it started for a week and then went off the air

I like the idea of THIS tv, but in the the Los Angeles area I get Audio only.I'm still looking at the "COMING SOON" screen.

"I don't like being teased."

Patience young padawan warriors, it will come :)

Our ABC station, WAOW, in the Wausau, WI area, came on DTV or Digital TV with their main channel, Channel 9, as 9-1, and also "The CW" on 9-2, which was only available on Cable TV before, and it does have some movies sometimes, but when Fox55 was delayed in being able to start building their station, because of the last station in the area to get permission, and a channel, from the FCC, then delayed due to bad weather, plus damage to their antenna while attempting to install it, WAOW started up with 9-3 so Fox55 could be "on the air" so to speak, besides being on Cable TV.

Once Fox55 was up and running, then WAOW decided to stay "on the air" with "THIS-TV" on 9-3, for a couple of days, but then Fox55 had a cooling system leak, plus some other minor problems, so "THIS-TV" was off for a few days until Fox55 was back up and running.

I had watched several movies on THIS-TV, and I think it's great...Oh, there are a few movies I've seen so far that are "too weird" for me, but I am a Sci-Fi fan, so I can watch a wider variety then some people can.

Today I see that THIS-TV is back up and running...as far as Titan TV for a TV shedule, I think that my Windows Media Center can use that and I see the Icon on my desktop for a shortcut to it.

By the way, if you had set up your DTV converter box, in the viewing range of WAOW, before today, and/or if you aren't getting 9-3, then you need to rescan for channels, in case you didn't already know about it, but you probably did because they sure mentioned it enough times on the TV station.

I just got This Tv around March and I love it the old classic horrors and westerns I can't wait to see what else I will see.

WOW ! March 14 2009 "IT'S BAAAACK" Thanks to who ever is resposable...ch# 5.2 long beach, Ca.
Well, there goes my day !!!

Madero Ocampo ( Mat )

I am BIG on This TV with it's classic old skool flicks!!

I've actually gone "ballistic" around late Feb '09 when it went off air with only digital audio and program guides that I emailed KTLA for this fiasco... ;p

Thank Goodness it came back on air on KTLA DTV 5.2 in Los Angeles around March 11 and was so estatic that Wednesday that I ignored watching my freebie RedBox rental that day!!!

Kudos and keep up the good work Tribune Broadcasting for your KTLA 5.2 This TV!!!

Darn it! Spoke too soon...

Would yo believe...This TV?!

Just hours after posting the above comment, at approx 2:25 PDT 3/14/09 just as I went to the kitchen to get a glass of water and when I got back to watch the boob-tube, there it is again...the dreaded "This TV" logo pic with audio only!!!ARGH!!!

Yeah, James me too..ARGH !!!!I just started liking
the movie and whalaa !!So, Now when do we excecpt
it to come back on.......DUH ?
Mat

Ah, Los Angeles This TV, why do you bring me so much pain? I want to watch movies for free. I am poor and can't afford cable. Revolution!

For listings, go to http://www.this.tv
Anyone know how I can find out when it will start in Los Angeles? I personally am so over TV trying to shock me and am looking forward to being able to enjoy the simpler times when TV shows actually used educated writers. I was born in 1982, so I didn't have the chance to grow up with many of them, so whenever I find old programs, I find them far more interesting.

My local broadcaster of THIS TV has .pdf (Adobe Acrobat) charts of all programs this month (March) and next month (April).

Links to the .pdfs are on this page:
http://www.kcra.com/my58-thistv/index.html

And what the heck, here are the actual links to the .pdfs:

March:
http://www.kcra.com/download/2009/0309/18891495.pdf

April:
http://www.kcra.com/download/2009/0309/18891542.pdf

THIS TV seems to be a satellite service, so I imagine the programming will be the same everywhere; therefore, the above .pdfs will probably be accurate for you wherever you are.

I've heard that April 1st is the new start date for THIS TV on KTLA 5.2.

I LOVE ThiS programming. I especially love the Mr. Ed programs. Thank you!!

The only negative is that in our city, Louisville, KY, it is being moved from channel to channel. It was on 3.2. This morning on 112.20. Now I can't find it!

This is a Great choice!
However, in Los Angeles, of all places, we mostly get the THIS TV LOGO, WITH THE SOUND ONLY. What is that about????? Why can't we SEE the picture too???? It's on digital 5.2. How frustrating!Christopher Banks

For a long while I've been wondering why none of the stations put movies on. They've tried to cut programing costs by putting on reality TV which is just insulting. Glad MGM took on THIS concept. How many years has MGM been around? How many movies? Looking forward to seeing these movies again. Resurecting some of these is wonderful. I remember watching old movies with my mom. THIS is comfort food like mom's chicken soup.

Oh, and thanks Sonia for the link! Some of the other links were not working for me.

hello i was watching this tv.

and now i only get sound .

so. is this tv down?

in L.A calif?

like to see move.

ch: 5.2

Hey, just found this tv on Brighthouse cable in central florida. AWESOME!!! Does MGM have anymore Stations?

WUAB CH 43.2 here in Cleveland,Ohio did have the This TV logo on the screen for a couple of weeks but now it has nothing just a black screen , how long does it take this company to activate on the stations who sign up for the service....

I just discovered this tv but,all I get is the sound (for the movie thats on) and logo for this tv. I am in the L.A. area any idea whats up?

Yeah, thistv is all TEASE in LA - I want this channel so bad. Damn, them. What can we do?

I am really excited about seeing this channel as well. I live in Los Angeles and use DirecTV with an OTA Tuner in the same box. I don't actually see 5.2 on my guide. I wonder if that is because the station hasnt fully launched yet?

"I've heard that April 1st is the new start date for THIS TV on KTLA 5.2."

April Fools!

Maybe more like April 1st 2010!!!

This TV is awesome in L.A. when it works, all you get is sound some times. Regardless right now it is working. I like all the classic movies I've never seen before, and all the new ones too. A schedule would be rad also. Last thing I want to say, those that make threatening comments like ,"Until you make a schedule, i'm not watching cause it shows you don't care", and "All they show are alien movies so I'm going to go watch my DVD's", you people are ridiculous. You've obviously got no lives, so grow up and go ride a bike or something......your comments are like jokes.....

Awesome new channel! It's great to have back the patty duke show! Finally, a channel to bring back some old sit-coms that TVLand, with it's ever increasing load of crap, won't bring back for some idiotic reason. "THIS TV" sounds like it will show some of the great old sit-coms and movies from the 60s that are considered too radical for today's society. :-) I'm thrilled! thanks MGM!

do I have to wait till the conversion date in june to get movies with out interuptions fom the coming soon screen? i was just watching a story about the assasination on JFK and then the screen whent to the coming soon screen at the piont in the move where he was taken to the hopital and was pronounced dead. thid is irritating to put up with.

Awesome new channel! It's great to have back the patty duke show!

Dear Dan,

Thank you for your email and interest in THIS TV.

We believe we have worked out all the engineering technical issues and have begun airing THIS TV as of Thursday, 3/26.

Sincerely,

KTLA Programming

This TV has it's own website with listings and program details; however you must check your local station for availability. Times listed are for the eastern time zone.

http://this.tv/

Wikipedia has an article posted which includes a complete listing of This TV affiliates.

I to would like a programing schedule.

I just found This-TV on CT WTXX Sunday and found myself glued to it. I love all those movies. I hope they keep it going. It is fast becoming my favorite station. Thanks MGM!
Keep it going!

I think the concept of this t.v. is great. But they have been playing the same movies since they came on the air afew months ago. They throw afew new ones in the mix but mainly the same ones over and over. Maybe a couple plays but there getting real stale.

This TV has finally launched today April 1st at 5am here in Cleveland,Ohio on WUAB CH 43.2 , the 1st show i watched was MR ED also the patty duke show after that! Looking forward to some old black and white movies one can only watch so many judge shows like judge mathis , judge penny, judge judy etc...and you begin to go bonkers:)Thanks This TV for an alternative

Re: the programming . . .
Dear Barbara,

Thank you for your email. We appreciate reading you are enjoying watching THIS TV Network.

The movies come from the MGM, Orion Pictures, United Artists, Polygram, Cannon and Samuel Goldwyn Films. The Programming & Operations Manager at Weigel Broadcasting selects the titles and schedules them. KTLA has no control over the film titles or the day and times they air. Each film has a specific window that it can be broadcast in so you will see many repeat several times within a month. Titles seem to change each month.

Sincerely,

KTLA Programming

so I guess if you want to complain about what movies are showing, you should write to Weigel Broadcasting and not KTLA

Hi, I am enjoying watching THIS TV in Cleveland. I especially enjoyed the happy days of Mr. ED and Patty Duke Show. I hope you do more old classics, like Bewitched, Green Acres etc.

What upsets me is, that certain movies show one time, at very late hours one time, while others show 10 times a week, over and over. Why is that? I can't stay up till 4am, to see these films, yet during the day, I can see the movies, however I have already seen them on your network.

I am very glad that we have this exra choice in Cleveland, because the other stations don't offer a complete entertainment schedule. Lot's of gaps, if you know what I mean. Good luck with this tv station.
Respectfully,
Charles H.

thank you for putting on a great show
I look forward to seeing a lot more
bye for now ernie

Just found THIS TV in Cleveland Ohio Channel 43.2 just started running these shows and they are GREAT! Old Mr. Ed, Patty Duke, etc. I do hope they run some more old sitcoms. Also, the old movies I love! I only saw the last part of "A kiss before Dying" with Robert Wagner-must have been his first movie! Finally, something to GOOD to watch!

THIS TV is now in Los Angeles. KTLA 5.2 is carring the programming. We need a schedule of the great shows and movies now on over-the-air television. All the shows are restored and look better than I remember. There are some interesting public service announcements. Keep up the good work.

THIS is available on channel 17-3 in Rockford Illinois. IT'S WONDERFUL

Sorry, mistake on prior email. I receive THIS on 27-3 from Madison WI. It is available with only rabbit ears in the Rockford, Illinois-Beloit, WI area

Wish our local newspapers would stop listing all the cable/satellite programming and list only the over the air channels and all the new digital channels like THIS TV.I assume the cable and satellite viewers already get programming schedules on their screen or though the mail.

Ok, like the promo's say, THIS is really great. At first I thought this was a channel that played the worst films ever made, and that's not a negative as far as I'm concerned. Bad films can be quite entertaining. The more I watch this channel, the more good films I see. Judgment at Nuremburg is playing as I write this--a very good old film with great acting. Yesterday is was a very, very strange old Elliot Gould movie, a very, very bad one. At any rate, this is a "fun" channel, and thanks to the digital conversion, I am not getting ripped off by the cable companies. Go, THIS, whatever the acronym means.

thank you so much, all of you, for posting the site to find out the tv listings in my area. we just discovered this station when we had to use the convertor box. it will be nice to know what is on ahead of time.

Thanks for this!! I love these old movies. I haven't seen some of them since I was a kid and am so happy to see the old westerns and shows like Patty Duke and Mr.Ed return. I never watch anything but This now. I am so happy the country went digital and I discovered this station.

THIS channel shows versions of movies which must have been censored way back in the 60's. It's simply a disgrace that MGM doesn't show the original uncut movies.

Commercials are too long and often. Half the commercials are telling us how great THIS is. Well THIS stinks.

I just discovered THIS TV and am so happy. I am disabled and daytime tv was not good. But, happily, I am now enjoying THIS TV. Keep it up, lovin it.

Very good station, But how/where can we get a whole week of programs in a TV Guide format?

I think this new movie station is great. The only thing I don't like is the way they edit and censor to much of the dialog in these movies. What's wrong with leaving in the profanity? It's takes away from enjoying the movie closer to what is realistic. They've even edited out the use of words/phrases that would be deemed irreverent, i.e., God damn it, Jesus Christ etc. Keep the profanity in, don't bleep it out for Chris sakes!

It seems like a good movie channel.
But their Advertisement's suck big time.

The latest one says that the British are coming!
It then shows 3 actor's. Richard Burton, Richard Harris & Peter O' Toole. I am sure if the 2 Irish guy's were alive today. They would take great offence in being called British.

this is a good station . there is a website with a schedule . the site is www.this.tv

I like this channel but, as while watching I've been noticing that the channels entertainment has been shows and movies of the past. What about those of us who were born in the seventies, are there any movies from the 90's that are going to play. I also have a child and was wondering if there were going to be a better selection of cartoons and educational shows in the morning, because most of the cartoons are just as old as the movies, what about cartoons for girls like (Tokyo Mew Mew(Mew Mew Power), Magical DoReMi, Winx Club, Avatar The Last Airbender or Onepiece)the other stuff seems to bore her and me too. And yes I've seen the Website with the scheduele and it's okay for people with the easy access to the internet but not everyone has access to the internet. I was wondering if everything on THIS channel is by MGM?

I found this TV when I rescanned the Galaxy 18 bird's Ku transponders with my FTA system. I really like the programming. Hope it stays FTA.

I get, the new This T.V., it's great can I suggest, that you(this), play the movies "Desecration", "Horror"(2000),and "Satan's Playground" by director Dante Tomaseeli. I'm assuming that your part of this tv or connected.Thank you

I LOVE THISTV !!!!

I may consider disconnecting the cable, as I'm a day-sleeper and there is nothing on but infomercials at night on basic cable.

The movies are GREAT! I'd Love to see more of the stuff fromm the 60's and 70's.

I was just a kid back then, and couldn't afford to see a lot of this stuff in the theatre.

Maybe they could put on some old British and European films like "Deep End" and "Daisey Chain" with Jane Asher...or more old Music films or art films.

So NICE to have something to watch other than sports and reality!

Thank You THISTV!!!!!!

Bummer another retro channel that isn't following the need for captions as per the captioning Law.

Many shows are captioned on tv season Dvd's so it isn't like they don't have captions its that another retro channel runs programming captionless at least till the law catchs up to them...

I found this network by just clicking the up button on my channel selector. I love it, and I'm in Orange County, California. I just found a movie, Comedy of Terrors, that I've wanted to see again for years.

THIS has one major problem. Movie times are given as 2:00e/1:00c/11:00p. AM or PM, who knows? MGM's website has no contact information.

this tv is filled with too much advertisement. Watching a good movie on Friday evening, the ratio of movie to commercials was 8 minutes movie to 5 minutes ads. It was unbearable to watch, and I will not watch this station again.

I truly enjoy the movies I am receiving on THIS-Tv. One movie that I really enjoyed and would love to purchase - aired on Saturday June 13th between 1- 4pm est (approximately). It was about a young boy who was orphaned due to his parents being killed in an auto accident. An older man, in a rough sort of way, taught the boy how to survive in the wilderness. I failed to write down the name of this movie. Can you tell me the name of this movie and the name of the two main characters who played in it? I give THIS Tv a big thumbs up - my tv constantly stays tuned to "this" channel.

Where the hell can i get a west coast schudual for this tv channel. im in oregon. thanks

I am very happy to have a channel that provides movies 24 hours a day. We who do not have cable can enjoyed some benefits of having the option to turn to a movie when the urge hit you. I personally am a movie buff so I try to catch them all. However, I was a little worried when a local baseball team from Florence Ky was aired in Cinti. Oh. I'm hoping that this kind of airing is not a sign of what's to come. "Here goes the only movie channel we have". Otherwise, I LOVE THIS!

This Tv is a great channel. I watch it on 123w satellite. I am so happy to watch the shows on this channel. Thank you MGM.

Correction to my post. I said the in the spot for they.

Will Friday night smackdown be making a debut on this tv?

Where do you watch this in chicago? What channel?

I found this station a few weeks ago and have not stop watching. I miss the older shows where people are not getting killed, doing drugs, hanging out of their clothes and having sex all the time.Most tv programs are borning,you watch the same story with different actors. I love the Patty Duke show, Mr Ed, and hope you will include more shows from the 60's in your lineup. THIS station really is a breath of fresh air!

I was first very excited about this channel. Then I started noticing some repeats. Then I started noticing double repeats, and triple and quadruple and now I lost count because they just repeat the same damn movies all the time!! I swear they must have aired Lonewolf McQuade about 20 times in 1 month!! And as for shows such as Patty Duke and Mister Ed, it seems as if they air the same few episodes in a cycle. This is Shit.

I love this new channel. Thanks!

would like to purchase a recording of TV Land, PrimeTV from Saturday morning July 18th, 2009 on channel 56 Comcast, which featured a designer by the name of Antonio De Silva. It aired at about 8:27 AM on a special from 8-9AM

I love the movies you are showing, and only wish that you would charge advertisers enough per ad, so that you would not interrupt the movie so often! I dream of a channel like yours that only interrupts the movies 2 or 3 times per flick. It's very hard to stay interested in what we are watching, when every 5-6 minutes, I am seeing the same ads that I saw a short while ago. Other than that, I love it!

The this channel is nice but you need to have more shows when I check the schdule its always the same comey, horror, drama

I agree with Mark. This is a very nice alternative channel. It needs a scheduling site so that people can know what's coming up within the week.

Thanks, Mr. Sabin, for the efforts.

I can't express how pleased we are with thistv.
My husband and I discovered it a few months ago and have since, had it on several times a week. Personally I love the Vincent Price movies and some others we haven't seen in many years.We haven't had programming like this since before cable and find it very refreshing.
Thank goodness for thistv and we hope it lasts for many years to come. Thank you:)

I am trying to contact THIS tv network, but can't find any contact info, or an official website. Does anybody know how to contact them regarding programming content?

Subtitles! Arghh! One of the main things I would complain about if they gave us a place to do it, is how they put their advertising banners up over the top of subtitles. If I'm watching a film that's in French, or Polish, or whatever where I don't understand the language, it's really annoying to have some banner telling me what I'm watching or what's on next blocking the subtitles so I can't follow the dialog. I understand that there's probably no human at the network actually watching the content, but don't these films have language codes so they could suppress banners when the film's language is something other than English?

Yes, there are a lot of repeats, but if you're recording you can use these to fill in stuff you missed. Recording is my answer to the commercials too: I just fast forward them or chop them out. It's also my answer to things that are on at 3 am or while I'm at work.

Overall I like this a lot. PBS is in a slump and I don't watch the commercial junk at all.

If you're still looking for a programming URL, try typing this.tv into your browser's URL window.

I just found THIS STATION on my tv today .I have cable.I'm so excited and I to am so sick of reality shows.TV Land has changed their format and not to my liking.

I live in Sioux Falls S.D. I get this channel on dtv 7.2. I really like most of the programming. My problem is that most of the time there is no sound. A great picture, but no sound. Can this be fixed??

Thanks for the nice programs you are offering on my local TV channel 2-2. I live in Georgetown TX

what happen to THIS in Memphis? I can't find it. Help

"This TV" is carried on my Cox cable. Today, two movies, one right after the other, carried promo lines during the movie that falsely identified actors who were not in the movie. Give me a break! The movie "Greyeagle" did not feature Marlee Matlin or Lee Remick. The 1962 movie "The Magic Sword" did not feature Farrah Fawcett. For what possible motive would a new channel put this kind of tag on a movie in progress? Sabotage from within their own organization? It sure is a cheap shot. Any computer can access IADB and check out the cast of a movie and all of an actor's work in film or TV. These are little-known but good old movies. Why leave a sour taste with the viewer? Again, it strikes me as a cheap shot. But what do you expect for repeating ad spots "ad nauseum" and after all, it's programming they can air without the cost of new content.

wish your shows had close-captioning.

I am looking for a great movie i saw on THIS TV, it was an old black& white. Dont know the actors or actress, but I can tell you a little about the movie.
An older man was in love with this lady she was not a rich lady, but instead he married another lady who's family was very rich they had two children. The lady he loved married his best friend and they had one duaghter, sadly the lady died. The best friends met along with there now adult children. Needless to say the best friends daughter is a split image of her mother which was the first love of the man whom married the other women for money. Immediately he fell in love the younger women(best friends daughter) his son fell in love her also and she loved the son. Is that enough can anyone tell me the title of THISTV movie my husband said something about 'RIO' i don't know please help.

Love THIS. I don't have cable, but the converter has picked up this attached to another channel and I love it. When CBS took off the soap at 2:00 and put on the worst game show of all time, so I've had to find something else and I adore it. Thanks to Whoever. from Dallas
