WTEN RTN Albany,NY !!

[Mr Tony]

We also have Peachtree TV which used to show the local feed of TBS here in Atlanta, which is owned by Turner/Time Warner.

I get that on my StarChoice system. TBS was never authorized in Canada so everyone had WTBS and now WPCH

I read something about that a while back. Must be odd seeing the Atlanta weather report during Headline News in the morning. I assume they still do that, haven't really watched it that much since it was TBS.

 

[Mr Tony]

yep it is weird. Also the local commercials were cool too. We also get the Chicago verion of WGN too.

They get the feed as is and if I remmeber right, they dont insert local Starchoice commercials like they do on other channels

Our ABC affiliate (WSB) here in Atlanta is going to add RTN soon to one of their digital subchannels.

TV classics come to WSB with RTN - Atlanta Business Chronicle:

I've been checking them out every day, and it ain't happened yet. But, I'm not giving up yet! And thanks for the link. I've read people talking about it, but the WSB site has no mention of it. So, it was nice to finally read a real story.

KSTC 45 has older shows but some of the syndicated stuff they show is the same on RTN (Cheers for example) but damn that would be a perfect fit...
45-1 the newer syndicated shows
45-2 RTN

ahh I can dream I guess

i agree 45-2 would be a great fit for our market as its no longer used i got my big honking antenna speciaclly for 45-2 and the wild games shown in hd on there in years past, of course soon as i got my antenna up wild annouce they will no longer use 45-2 oh well
i remember 45-2 being hdnet at onetime

WooHoo.....!! I just noticed an RTN test pattern on WSB-DT 2.2 with a horrible tone as well. So, it's got to be close!

If you get a chance to view Peachtree TV, look for a local commercial for Perkins Automotive Removel (they come pick up junk cars and pay you money--auto recycling business), the little old black lady is priceless on that commercial plus you can tell its dated a little bit as well which makes it more funnier, the lady on this commercial (IMO) is the exact image of true southerners!!

I know the commercial is on every night when I watch In the Heat of the Night in the wee hours of the morning on Peachtree TV, I just LOL everytime I see this commerical!!

I found the test pattern on Galaxy 26 DVB-S2.

WooHoo, WooHoo, WooHoo..... I got RTN programming on WSB-DT 2.2
How Sweet It Is.....!!!!

Little House is the first, not one of my favorites

 

[Mr Tony]

Al you're lucky....hopefully the programming is good

I'm watching Kojak right now on WSB Retro. It's on channel 248 for Comcast cable customers in the Atlanta area. No guide data yet either at least on Comcast. Unfortunately I don't have an ATSC tuner to see if there is guide data on the OTA channel.

I remember that commercial from the late 90s on WTBS 17. "Perkins come here get this junk car now - and be in a hurry!" LOL!

Here is a mediocre quality version on youtube: YouTube - Best commercial ever-perkins auto recycling

They have upgraded the graphics and voiceover from what I can remember.
