Does anyone know where I can find tv listings for RTN WMFP RF83.5 in Boston
on Comcast? It is a Retro TV station showing Incredible Hulk, Dragnet, Knight Rider etc.

If you go to RTN website there is no link for that station.
If you go to TitanTV it's not listed either

It appears to be very new programming for WMFP, so you may have to wait to find it.

Don't hold your breath. WNBW that is an NBC still isn't on TitanTV and it's been on the air since Jan 1 this year.

I wonder if it takes a couple weeks to get it updated. Most program information is 14 days at a time. I included a link, but it hasn't been activated yet. Keep checking and in the mean time I would use a station closest to you until it's updated. I checked and all the stations listings are similar except for the time zone.

More RTN WMFP info from Wiki:

Quote:

It was announced on May 12, 2009 that WMFP would begin to offer RTN within the following two weeks.[5] RTN programming was added to the station's second digital subchannel on May 20, though with its station identification showing the channel as 18.1. The next day, WMFP began showing RTN content on the main channel as well. The station is carried on Comcast channel 20, RCN Cable channel 21, and Verizon FiOS channel 23.

Not on my comcast -- they don't carry anything good these days. Have I whined about this before? Seriously, I'm livid with them so junking cable and going with the converter boxes solely is becoming less scary than it used to be.

Ah, another retro station. There was one channel here, but it seems that it's going to be getting a sister channel to cover more (I wonder why not a subchannel - guess the advertisers were specific on a stations content.) The main channel's website: KDOC-TV Endless Classics! It currently runs episodes of Perry Mason, Hawaii Five-O, Magnum P.I., Matlock, Hogan's Heroes, M*A*S*H, and a bunch of other oldies.

I got hooked on that channel over the years by watching not just the classics, but:
Poorman's Bikini Beach TV Show - Hot Girls - Hot Models (long since moved to the sister channel as it's practically soft porn.) and this Reagan-era-loving guy: YouTube - Dan on the Hot Seat with Wally George

What I'd like to see are comedy oldies on a subchannel- The George Carlin Show, The Ben Stiller Show, even Nightmare on Elm Street (it was comic horror, like Tales from the Crypt.)

Great idea.

George Carlin = Genius, The Ben Stiller show? Haven't seen that one.
