One thing that has been missing is a really good "OLDIES" music video station such as RETROJAMS! This would be a great channel to round out some of the other selections.

Definitely there must be a channel devoted to westerns, with classic movies from the western genre and classic western sitcoms and series. You simply cannot be without this. Guns and horses and the lone prairie!

I have mentioned another channel that should be included for informational purposes and as an educational tool for FTA and it should be something like Dr. Dish, originally airing on satellite 43.0W.

I still like the idea that I submitted to Leon Napier in an email. This was to have a station or channel that was devoted to all mystery series and movies as well. Shows such as Columbo, Quincy M.E., McCloud, McMillan and wife, Perry Mason, The Avengers, Simon and Simon, Matlock, Diagnosis: Murder, Magnum P.I., Barnaby Jones, Rockford Files, Night Stalker, Kojak, Cagney and Lacey, Dragnet, FBI Files, Barney Miller, Ellery Queen, Hawaii 5-0, The Mod Squad, The A-Team, Mission Impossible, The Prisoner, The Fugitive and movies along the same theme line.

Next there needs to be a channel that is devoted to Science Fiction. With movies and series both. Movies such as Star Trek, Star Wars, 2001 a Space Odyssey, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, The Thing, The Andromeda Strain, ALIEN and ALIENS, Journey to the Center of the Earth, Voayage to the bottom of the Sea, The Lost World, Planet of the Apes, Omega Man, West World etc etc. And series such as The Twilight Zone, Alfred Hitchcock, Str trek etc. You could go on and on with titles like these.


Next up, a channel that plays all the afternoon series such as Bewitched, I Dream of Jeanie, Gilligan's Island, Get Smart, McHale's Navy, My Three Sons, The Brady Bunch, The Munsters, The Adam's Family, Scooby Doo and the Flintstones, Hazel, Andy Griffith and etc.

And absolutely, there needs to be a western channel. Hang 'em High, True Grit, all the John Wayne and the Clint Eastwood movies, High Noon, From Noon til Three, Hopalong Cassidy, The Lone Ranger, Gene Autry, Bonanza, The Wild Wild West, Big Valley, Cimmaron, The Rifleman, Gunsmoke, Rawhide, Wagon Train, F-Troop, The Treasure of the Sierra Madre etc.

If you air these programs, I will throw my motorized dish out on the curb and set a fixed point dish up to whichever satellite you locate these channels on and stay there. I would watch every channel with great eagerness.

There are more genres to cover, but I covered my favorites. Please add your own to this thread or add more titles to the groups that I already listed.

RADAR

Radar, You got my vote! With a line up like that people would be lined up to get FTA equipment. I put a fixed dish on 97W for my brother last fall and we're hoping to switch to a better receiver, add a sonic voom and motorize it next week rain or snow. So then he can really see what all he's missing on KU. With Freedbs in the works none of us will ever want to leave home lol

Nothing is otherwise wrong with free TV.

If only a few of these suggestions end up becoming reality it will be a great success.

I tried to make a post last night concerning a couple of channels that have this type of programming. Unfortunantly my post was delayed due to some type of system hangup, and became burried in previous posts. I'm not trying to repeat myself on anything, but I'll post what I said again for anyone that would like to make any comments on my suggestions.
Here is a copy of my origional post:

Hello everyone. I'm a new menber here. I've been a frequent visitor of this site as a guest for a couple of years and have done alot of reading, but decided to become a member, so that I could get in on the discussion about the FreeDBS channel proposal.

I commend FreeDBS for attemting to do what they are. I'm sure that they have their work cut out for them.
At their sites request for people to email them with programming ideas and channel suggestions, I sent them a few different emails with a couple of different channel ideas.
The first channel is LCN out of Louisana. I think that this channel has good quality, family oriented programming. This channel is currently in the clear
on C Band, but it would be nice if it could be added to the KU band side, because alot of people don't have C Band.
The second channel is MeTV, an independant channel out of Chicago, that someone else previously mentioned here. This channel also has good quality, family oriented programming. This channel is also broadcast out of Southbend Indiana. I think that these channels would be a good edition to the channel lineup
As I mentioned, I sent a few different emails around 2 weeks ago, with these channel suggestions, but have'nt received a response back from anyone. It would be nice if Wayne-O would comment on these channels. Any other comments are welcome also. Thanks.

You give me a great idea, Larry.

Let's keep posting what WE want and then they will have the information that they need to say... "The People Want This Programming".

Then, maybe they will put it out there for us. No more Nielsen Family Ratings, this time WE CHOOSE! I never liked those Nielsens anyway, they didn't like Flipper!

We need a Cartoon and Little kids content station, something similar to PBS Kids Sprout. shows like Wiggles, Barney, Hi-five, Sesame Street, Teletubbies. Some of the stuff out now like what’s on Nickelodeon and Nickelodeon JR is garbage "just my opinion" Cartoon Network is starting to show some good old classics, but I have to pay for that on DishNetwork.
