Too bad the OP never seemed to have come back.

I started to get RTV recently and it took the station a few weeks to get everything right on my program guide (EPG).

That national pdf is not what many stations are doing. The best way to tell is to check it out when it's on and write it down. (Shoot, that sounds old fashioned).

The weekday and weekend schedules should be different. Sat & Sun probably differ from each other as well.

Even if you have it in the program guide, don't expect detailed info for the episode. Only a generic description of the show itself. That seems to be the case for all the RTV affilliates. Bummer.

I'm jealous: At least you guys have an RTV broadcast that you can watch! RTV had two network O&Os hereabouts -- a Class A in my city and a full-power station licensed to Cheyenne, WY, but receivable here at 66 miles post-transition -- that got severed from RTV early this year as a result of owner Equity Media's bankruptcy. RTV owner Luken Communications hasn't made a deal with any other station for a subchannel in Denver, and it seems rather doubtful they'll appear again on the EM-owned stations because Luken was the company that pulled the plug on them in the first place. Those stations show AMGTV now, and to be blunt, it's flat-out C.R.A.P.

Yeah, my RTV or RTN or whatever they are calling it these days, in Charleston is on a Low Power station subchannel. I have had no success with picking up its digital broadcast. Ch. 18 in Charleston SC.

Been waiting and waiting for RTV to come to Dayton but so far nothing. I even e-mailed them about it over a week ago but haven't heard back yet.

They're in the Columbus market which is just out of reach with my set up and in Cincinnati on an lp station which is also just out of reach.

So close yet so far...

I emailed them about their schedule here in Sacramento one time and never heard back. You'll probably have the channel available before they ever get back to you.

Incorrect. TVNewsCheck - KCDO Denver Adding Retro TV Network

They've got a permit to build out a big signal on a tall tower out east of Denver.

Equity went bankrupt and was sold off. It no longer exists. KQCK is now owned by "Valley Bank."
