NBC Owned Stations Launching Retro Subchannel

[Mr Tony]

The NBC Owned Stations will launch a Me-TV-style classic hits subchannel called Cozi TV, according to Time Out Chicago, early in 2013.

An NBC spokesperson did not confirm the report.

According to Time Out Chicago's Robert Feder, the daily schedule features Lassie, Roy Rogers, The Lone Ranger and The Virginian. Movies air in the afternoons, followed by comedies such as Ozzie & Harriet, then dramas such as Charlie's Angels and The Six Million Dollar Man in prime.

This market niche is getting crowded.

the Virginian and the six million dollar man!

Apparently it's working for ME tv Antenna and Retro,honestly there is tons of old classic programming that hasn't even been tapped yet.

 

[gpollock87]

I'll never see it here.

NBC Connecticut doesn't have Nonstop, so I wonder if they'll be picking up Cozi when it launches...

 

[Mr Tony]

I'll never see it here.

since you dont have a NBC in the market you are probably correct

 

[gpollock87]

It might be put it on a satellite and we can watch it free to air like the other nbc channels.

If we're lucky it will pop up FTA somewhere....fingers crossed. I'll be curious here in Cincinnati if it will show up as our NBC sub has Me Tv now...no NonStop channel though...so I'm not counting on it

 

[Kraven]

Just to clarify... will NBC add RTV in all its markets or just a select few? IE- WPTZ-DT Burlington has THIS as its sub. Would be nice to have RTV as well

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

The station will not be RTV, but a new channel called COZI.

I would love to see them air old Tonight Shows with Johnny Carson....

 

[Peter Parker]

RTV went WAAAAAY downhill. I am not sure I would want it back in the DC market. COZI is not much ofa name but hopefully it will providea few shows I can watch----although some of that product is already on other outlets.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

I would love it if they made it a Retro NBC channel.

BE THERE!

Hard to do. They would not have the rights to everything just because it was originally on NBC. The Carson idea is a good one but again the Carson estate may own the rights instead of NBC.

Why is there so much exitement on this channel? It will be 2-2 1/2 months before 2013 and NBC could easily change their format.

So Toledo NBC (ch24) already has Retro TV network on 24.2, will this new channel replace that?

 

[Sparkman]

Right now it will only be on the 10 O&O NBC stations. Rob Feder broke the story on Time Out Chicago. Feder used to be the Sun-Times TV critic. Best info there is, he's a must read.

so since toledo nbc is owned by Barrington Broadcasting it would not change, correct?

 

[Mr Tony]

The NBC Owned stations right now have a subchannel called "NBC Non Stop"...this new station will replace it
