Weigel Broadcasting Co. is flipping its digital broadcast network Decades into the sitcom-centric Catchy Comedy on March 27

  • HAPPY NEW YEAR! EXCITING CHANGES COMING IN 2026!
    Thank you for a great 2025 and we are so looking forward to 2026!
    PLEASE CLICK HERE to find out about some of our plans for 2026 including our BRAND NEW NAME we will be moving to in 2026! Exciting times are ahead!
    Happy New Year from your friends here at SatelliteGuys.US!
I get Frndly TV as a backup for the Weigel LPTV here. It looks at times, I will get different shows. It must have something to do with copyright?
Correct. Some shows they can't stream. MeTV and Decades are the two that run into that. StartTV has one show if I recall they have to change out.

I have no idea why METV+ is not available other than OTA. But again, it might have to deal with more copyright issues. Frndly TV was quick to respond that they did not have plans to add METV+. So there must be something.

As of right now it's only on Weigel owned stations (and not all of them)
 
website is up with schedule (for broadcast)

Looks like they are still doing the weekend marathons
(per the decades site schedule first weekend is Night Court.....shocking I know)

where to see us just sends you to the Decades site

The OLD Night Court is far superior to the NEW Night Court.
 
Looks like they are only removing a few shows, Get Smart, Car 54, Abbott & Costello, Petticoat Junction that would be comedies. Others removed that do not fit the new Comedy channel, Dick Cavett, The Millionaire, and Dark Shadows. Not a lot of change. They are still running Our Miss Brooks, Donna Read, etc.
 
so looking at the schedule ahead the next two weekends have the following as their marathon
4/8 & 4/9 Carol Burnett
4/15 & 4/16 Gilligan's Island (interesting as that is not on Catchy Comedy..its on MeTV)

In the Decades era this was often the case.
