Just got sent this article. Apparently, one of the ideas that we have always bounced around on the Forum might actually be coming to fruition - decades TV channels similar to what satellite radio provides. Great idea but I would be guarded in my optimism.
1 - They are saying advertiser supported as opposed to pay channels so that means shows will be edited for commercial time.
2 - Don't know if they will have it in their budget to purchase series which have no existing videotape masters and that need transfers from the original elements.
3 - No fifties channel, which I kind of understand as they probably feel that people who remember fifties shows at this point are too old and the shows are too dated. Would have been nice to see some of the great live anthologies broadcast but I guess they don't want to have an all black and white kinescope channel.
