Wait til your father gets home. That is a show that brings back some memories. I consider it the great great grandfather of shows like the Simpsons and Family Guy.
Joanie Gerber who played the voice of Irma Boyle and Whitaker the old lady vigilante was a great family friend of my parents for many decades. She was a very bawdy and hilarious lady with an incredible sense of humor. I miss her wit and laughter so much. She told me that she and Tom Bosley had a wonderful time working on the series.
@@ArtieArchives Yes for real! :) Joannie had a voiceover class that she taught for many years and my mother was in the class. They became fast friends. We knew her until she passed in 2011. Most of the pictures of Joanie online are not of her but of a different Joan Gerber which is maddening. Joan was Mel Blanks protégé. Got to meet him once as a kid in the 70s. I’m wondering if me TV toons will run the original versions of “Wait till your father gets home” that have the laugh track. The DVDs and also the episode that aired on Cartoon Network many years ago had to laugh track removed from most of the episodes
Good advice about making sure you can pick up low-power stations or low-VHF stations that might be carrying MeTV Toons. Get your TV antennas tuned up! 👍
I want to thank you for listing off all of the cartoons, not necessarily because it would bring a smile to my face, and it did do that, more importantly, it was good because I am blind, and I can't see the printout that you had on the screen listing the names of the TV shows. A suggestion for some content, perhaps a little deep dive into audio description, how it works, how it works for over the air television how it benefits, blind, and low vision individuals. 0:09
I can't wait, I hope to record the launch and post it on my TV Archives channel. Let's hope more cartoons from the 90s like Animaniacs, Tiny Toon Adventures, and the other older Cartoon Network shows from the 90s will be added too in the future.
@@BricksVids It could be sooner, if possible. I'd like to see MeTV create a revival of the "Cartoon Cartoon Fridays" block in association with Warner Bros. for this and all other cartoons created by Warner Bros. subsidiaries Hanna-Barbera Studios and Cartoon Network Studios from the mid-1990s to the mid-2000s, originally intended to be CN Originals, including Dexter's Lab and The Powerpuff Girls...it would be great to see the Powerpuff Girls on broadcast TV again (the first time they were on broadcast TV was in association with Kids' WB in 2002).
I hope we get Me TV Toons here in the Detroit area before launch. I’m excited by the programming schedule. Whacky Races and Top Cat are a must watch for me.
Pretty cool because this is how it was back in the 80s. Syndicated stations would show these shows in the afternoon or on Saturday or Sunday mornings. So you had a variety of shows from different companies. When Cartoon network came about and these shows got released on DVD, many companies that owned the rights started hording these shows and didn't release them for over the air viewing or on other cable channels. It would be interesting to find out what they had to do to get the rights to shows all of these. If they were licensed from say WB and Universal directly or because these were packaged as their own shows long ago the rights were owned by someone else. For example a lot of the Loony Toons were sold to APP back in the 50s and that was what was often shown in syndication in the 80s, Warner Bro didn't own them.
Ever since the Toons channel was announced I’ve been getting flashbacks to the weekday morning blocks. Yes, I remember Hanna Barberra and Looney Tunes playing mostly on the local indy stations, but once Turner bought their rights they soon disappeared from everywhere else. I miss when local stations programmed their own slate of cartoons, shows and movies. Felt a little more intimate.
MeTV (Weigel) has already been showing a lot of these cartoons through their "Toon In With Me Show." In other words, from what I understand anyways, they didn't have to do much.
@@newstarcadefan Weekend morning is very depressing on the big networks and the long time independent stations. I used to sell Dish and people would order it just to have some animated programming for their little ones.
Martin Short first appeared as Ed Grimley on SCTV before he appeared on SNL. The Completely Mental Misadventures Of Ed Grimley premiered on NBC on September 10th, 1988 for 13 episodes and also featured the late Joe Flaherty in live action segments as his Count Floyd character also from SCTV.

I won't have a problem picking up WMEI 31 when it launches with MeTV on 31.1 and Story TV on 31.3 in Green Bay, Wisconsin on June 18, since the station is going to launch with an effective radiated power of 1,000 kw. The station intends to launch with plans to roll out MeTV Toons as a charter affiliate a few days on June 25 (my theory is 31.2 will launch with color bars, a test pattern or a simulcast of 31.1 within days before MeTV Toons' official launch on June 25).
It's just showing one station, in Louisiana, and it's not one of the major areas, like Baton Rouge or New Orleans. We, actually, have a broadcast MeTV channel, in the Baton Rouge area. So, I don't know why we're not on the list.
Indeed, back in 2003 the satellite service of Cablevison; Voom HD Networks had a bunch of HD channels and one of them was an ALL animation channel in glorious HD! Called Animania HD. We had it in HD all the way back in 2003 tell the demise of Voom HD in 2008.. Being all the old school animations were done on film, all the transfers from film looked pretty good. None of this highly compressed 480i over the air subchannels that look so soft now. I bet most Me-TV Toons stations won't devote anymore than 1.5mbps if that.
Blame congress and the FCC for selling too much TV spectrum to cell phone companies over the years. Everything will probably be 480i when they sell more in a few years.
@@cheezenub Most of these cartoons were on film and therefore have been remastered to 1080p. Because they were on film in reality what you saw on the TV screen was a downgraded version of the originals as the technology didn't allow you to see them as intended.
Still hoping that a full power TV station in the Kansas City area picks up MeTV Toons. I noticed that KGKC-LD will be picking it up, however that is a low power TV station & I can't pick it up where I am at, in Carrollton, MO, about 65mi Northeast of Kansas City, MO, unless the atmospheric conditions are just right. I am using an outdoor TV antenna. Guess that I'll have to get a FrndlyTV subscription if that doesn't happen.
@r66fplaysgames: Hello. I live in Mission, KS, & I agree with you that it would be great if KMBC 9 would pick up MeTV Toons. I cannot receive ANYTHING from KGKC. I live in an apartment, so I must use an indoor antenna. I'm lucky to receive KCTV-5.1, and it's only about a half mile from me! Too many buildings around here. Outdoor antennas are prohibited. Sigh.
So from what I’ve seen so far, it appears that MeTV Toons is running the 4:3 stuff in 4:3 pillarbox! MeTV crops things to better fit widescreen TVs, so I was expecting MeTV Toons to do the same. I was pleasantly surprised when it turned it on this morning and saw the wider black bars on the sides - so yes, it appears that at least for now, MeTV Toons IS keeping with the original aspect ratio and is not altering the size/shape at all!
@@MikeHunt-c5pStar Trek is, and also Batman, Kolchak The Night Stalker, Lost In Space, Land Of The Giants, Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea, The Invaders, Svengoolie and The Three Stooges.
Channel 18-9 is already live in Charlotte. It's labeled as TEST-18 and showing promos for METV Toons. On my older plasma TV, I found it by accident without even rescanning. Had to do a rescan on my newer Roku TV to find it.
I really hope they go above and beyond this holiday season with Halloween, Thanksgiving and especially Christmas episodes back to back or even a marathon 😢‼️🤔🧐🙏
MeTV has aired the Flintstones meet Rockula and Frankenstone on Halloween before so they just might. Flintstones, Yogi, Mr Magoo have all had Christmas specials so that’s an opportunity
I’m excited as someone who grew up with Saturday morning cartoons and now a father who have kids that want to share the cartoons I grew up with like Inspector Gadget, Scooby Doo, and Looney Tunes! But I’m really surprised that Histeria and The Mask cartoon are going to air, because those obscure cartoons deserve more attention! Hopefully we get some Fox Kids cartoons in the future like Animaniacs and Eek the Cat!
You mentioned that the station in the San Francisco area might be a tough one to receive (at the 4min mark). Actually it's (ch 68) a fairly strong signal at 521MHz. I'm in the East Bay (27 miles from tower) and with a Clearstream 2MAX in my attic I am getting ch 68-1 through 68-5 at 97% signal strength and 100% signal quality. I'm so glad that this is on one of the strongest channels in my area 😁
I kind of figured that it would be added here in St. Louis since the station is O&O by Weigle. Didn't think it was going to be on 24.2 which is currently occupied by the original owners of the station.
Great seeing Two Stupid Dogs and the various Gerry Anderson shows, plus properties NOT already owned by Warner. They actually did go outside the box and spend some money licensing other properties. Respect. Sadly the "local" station in my area has a reception area the size of a Walmart and barely bigger. Maybe early success will spur more pickups.
Channel 2.10 in the Philadelphia area, it is unknown at the moment which if any cable providers will carry this in the Philadelphia area. There is a streaming alternative called Friendly TV which will be carrying it and this was mentioned in the video(I probably misspelled that, most people will know what I mean)
Hopefully you get WDPN over the air on 2.10 so you can watch Me-TV Toons when it launches. If you have cable, contact your provide and request they carry it.
@@AntennaMan WDPN 2.10 yes that is correct for over the air in my area, I have a good pair of rabbit ears I am confident will pick it up depending on what room I am in.
My local station that has MeTV moved Retro-TV from it's subchannel on another station and substituted Home Shopping network. I hope it's only a placeholder for till MeTV Toons is on. Though the station or market isn't listed.
What's interesting is that the station that airs MeTV in Atlanta is not owned by the same station that is going to air MeTV toons. It is possible that in the Atlanta market MeTV Toons actually makes it onto RUclips TV because the affiliates owner Gray TV (which owns Atlanta's CBS affiliate) has made the same agreement for all of its other subchannels
I don't see Me-TV Toons being picked up by RUclips TV since Me-TV isn't even on it. Contact the station in Atlanta that carries Me-TV and ask them to carry Me-TV Toons since they are being offered it by Weigel.
@@AntennaMan I would agree with you on a National basis but Gray TV the owner of the channel Me-TV Toons will be airing on as a subchannel has a carriage agreement with RUclipsTV for all their Atlanta station's subchannels because they wanted carriage for their local High School and minor league sports network
Thank you for the heads up because Gray TV also owns WSMV (Nashville, TN's NBC Affiliate) . I hope that such a thing doesn't happen because that will mean for example that those who watch MeTV Atlanta will have to pay an internet provider to watch MeTV Toons. That's not fair. In this case, Weigel needs to take ownership of every MeTV affiliate in the country.
I heaed WCCB Charlotte has already set up channel 18-9, they are running a loop of promo videos until the channel actually launches, some include Gertie the dinosaur 1914 and Tennessee tuxedo, so silent carroons and Tennessee tuxedo will probably air on the channel, probaly on one of speciality programs like cartoon all stars.
The lineup is missing some key favorites of mine: Dungeons & Dragons, Thundar the Barbarian, He-Man & the Masters of the Universe, Transformers, GI-Joe, Alvin & the Chipmunks and I am sure I could think of others. There were so many Saturday morning cartoons. USA Cartoon Express was also special.
For anyone looking for it... Most (if not all) episodes of the Dungeons and Dragons cartoon are here on RUclips. Wish they would reboot the cartoon, beyond the recent parodies. 😉👍
MeTV Toons is coming to Charlotte on a subchannel of WCCB (channel 18); on the other hand, it's not coming to the Triad yet. Hopefully WXII picks it up soon.
Since Spectrum is the primary cable company/ISP for many folks here in the Carolinas, we'll probably get the channel as we already have MeTV. I guess they'll send an update to the app to add it since that's how we primary watch things nowadays.
When you first released the original video announcement, I had reached out to KCRA in Sacramento to air this station. So far they’re not on the list just yet.
since metv toons is airing histeria and freakazoid are we gonna see tiny toons, animaniacs, Pinky and the Brain and the spin off Pinky, elmyra and the Brain?
Just spent the whole first day watching the chanel checking it out. I give it an outstanding rating. I am a boomer, so of course the Hanna-Barbera shows were spectacular, pretty much ruled the day but I was also very happy seeing the Harveytoons with the modern madcaps. Hoping to see "Swifty and Shorty" madcaps soon. The additions of the Harveytoons really complements and goes well with Looney Toons, MGM with Tom and Jerry, Popeye with the massive additions of the Harveytoon library. Was particularly fun to see the H-B and Harveytoons for me and am hoping for them being around for a long time to come.
Hey Antenna Man, which shows would you like to see next on MeTV Toons? For me, I have a lot of picks (mostly DiC cartoons) but my number one choice is the Mario cartoons (mostly because of the fame they left behind from early RUclips). Mind saying that, several ex-Qubo shows considered "classics" are also on the list too (Babar, Rupert, Madeline, Where on Earth is Carmen Sandiego, and the Filmation shows). The Pink Panther and Astro Boy would be nice additions too.
I can't currently pick up from CT, MA, RI, though that doesn't surprise me. The Norwell channel only comes through via rare tropospheric events. Too bad this couldn't replace one of the five home shopping subs. Maybe some day.
Omg look at all the complaints in the fan groups about this so-called “botched launch”. Clearly people have no idea how television works. Especially for a network of this caliber, it’s absolutely amazing that they have even 1/4 of the coverage they have, and it’s only been three days! Most networks take YEARS to even get noticed, and some never made it at all.
Now that MeTV Toons is on the air, maybe another episode devoted to the two thirds of the country that can get it OTA and the recommended antenna depending on how far the home is from the tower and whether the affiliate station is full or low powered.
Can't wait. I live in northern New Jersey, served by owned-and-operated WJLP, Channel 3/33 (licensed to Middletown Township, Monmouth County, New Jersey). Station is owned by its parent company, Weigel Broadcasting Company, which owns METv, as well. 😀👌
@@AntennaMan I am in Fairfield County, CT...so I think with an antenna, it's WZME As for the line-up it's somewhat solid. But looking in hindsight at say Captain Planet, I blame that show and its propaganda, fueled by creator Ted Turner for the climate crazies that poison the nation today. Then again, as I go on a tirade here, a lot of notorious leftists were voice actors on the show including the late Ed Asner and Whoopi Goldberg. Some of the other 90s shows I saw a glance or two like Freakazoid. I am with some here to hope Tiny Toons, Animainiacs and Pinky and the Brain come on. And of course, you gotta have the classics like Popeye, Tom and Jerry, the Looney Tunes gang, and the H-B shows including Saturday AM faves like The Smurfs and Scooby-Doo. Am pleasantly surprised by the stories from the Bible coming on as I have not seen that show or heard of it myself. And...Boston IS GONNA GET METV TOONS...WIKKID AWESOME. Ehh, the countdown is on doc...TWO WEEKS AND COUNTING!!!!
In south central PA, WGAL ch-8-2 carries regular ME-TV channel, but it does not look like they are going to carry the ME-TV-toon channel. Sad if no one carries it here, maybe later on?
I am not much on TOONS anymore and I am single, but it looks like it is coming to Chicago on 26.7 around June 25th. Some channels already show TOONS for a couple hours on certain days. So whether they also continue remains to be seen. I am more into the half hour comedy shows such as Dick Van Dyke, etc. Thanks for the video. Take care.
Sad it doesnt seem to be in my area and the closest station is too out of range for me (if only we were in the analog days maybe I could manage to pull in something, I did that with WB back in the 90s) A lot of Cartoons I would love to watch again from my childhood.
I can get most of the Boston stations here in Southern NH, but not 62. Looks like they are eventually moving from RF Channel 10 to 36; any idea if that would improve reception possibilities or may happen any time soon?
My local MeTV Toons affiliate is on WDME-CD, which is sadly on RF channel 20 which I cannot receive due to WQAW-LP's presence. I'm hoping Weigel will strike a deal with WTTG or WFDC to have Start TV move to WDME-CD or Grit to WPXW provided WFDC's rights to the channel expire or even go into a channel sharing agreement with WETA or another full-powered station.
Don't feel bad, because here in Boston they had the genius decision to host MeTV Toons on the low-power station WWDP. The best signal I can possibly get is just stuttering audio.
What I need to know is what channel these classic cartoons will be appearing on out here in Chicago . Will it be ch.23 ? And if so , what will be the time slot ?
I have seen pictures of Huckleberry Hound in the previews but did not see it listed in your lineup. Will Huckeberry Hound be included? "Oh my darlin, oh my darlin, oh my darlin Clementine."
I’m so excited I can’t wait to see all these awesome cartoons ,,,,,,so many I can’t name them all love a lot of the old cartoons an I believe some not named will be on here too Thank you to whoever had the idea for this channel just can’t wait Whoever had the idea for this channel they should put them in the genesis world record for most cartoons on one channel And if for some reason don't get the channel RUclips is also a option for old cartoons I watch them on RUclips sometimes and as call you local TV station an ask for it
AntennaMan, do you have any contact info for the Weigel Exec you interviewed? I miss the Decades channel, but the show I miss the most is “Through the Decades.” Want to ask if there’s any chance they will upload the full run to RUclips or another service. It was a fantastic time capsule and a great way to start(or end) the day.
Miami had Decades UNTIL the deal with CBS O&O’s to have StartTV replacing it. Then Dabl…. I miss it as well. Decades was quite ambitious. It also had long lost TV programs rarely seen, and of course there was a little rundown on air about it.
It will be 1000 years before my area gets it 😭 Beetlejuice was bad, but I couldn't stop watching it. And I'm hoping to check out some shows I've never even heard of, someday, when I visit a city that has it.
Of course, they put the Japanimation shows on in the dead of night! They should also see if they could get the stop-action series Davey and Goliath--it'd pair well with the Greatest Adventures: -Stories from the Bible.
Warning….”….Stories from the Bible” has parts in it that are NOWHERE in the Bible. One in particular had Noah’s Ark filling with water from cracks. We ran it for a Sunday School unscreened beforehand. :(
Is it still astc 3.0 only? I would love to have it but i am worried about the drm. I primarily interact with ota content by recording it to the dvr on to my media server, then later editing the commercials out before i put it with the rest of my media collection. I've been hesitant to upgrade because of that.
It's coming to my area, and thanks to Tyler's recommendation of the Philips rabbit ear antenna you see on the table behind him, I can get it! Best $12 I ever spent!
Any chance Me-TV & Toons will come to Canada? We only have one channel CHCH in Hamilton, Ontario that broadcasts retro shows during the daytime. Me-TV would be a big hit in Canada!
I'll bring it up with the programmers, although it's very unlikely since the TV stations in Canada aren't interested in offering subchannels over the air.
It will be curious to see if any of the cartoons will be edited for content, as what was considered humorous and culturally acceptable, in the 1950s into the '60s, doesn't fly today.
Some of the classic WB toons shown on MeTV’s “Toon In with Me” are already “adjusted” for the PC crowd….some WB cartoons will never see the light of day again on TV at all.
Supposedly coming here on some unheard of streaming service. So probably not OTA here. Have a MeTV service here and thought maybe it would air there...who knows.
will this be able to be picked up from metro nyc? just see ct and nj. Any idea how to pick it up? just did a scan and not popping up. Should i rescan closer to june 25?
Admittedly I didn’t like some of these even when they were new but there are plenty I’ve missed and looking forward to seeing again. DVR is about to get a workout
I read an article that had to be fake news that said stations that are free such as Me-TV have low viewership while claiming stations such as CW are widely viewed with their creepy shows I don't believe this it's fake news

Ed Grimley was played by Martin Short on SNL. I didn’t know they made a cartoon version. Looking forward to this new channel!
Martin Short first appeared as Ed Grimley on SCTV before he appeared on SNL.
The Completely Mental Misadventures Of Ed Grimley premiered on NBC on September 10th, 1988 for 13 episodes and also featured the late Joe Flaherty in live action segments as his Count Floyd character also from SCTV.
If you liked him on SNL, do your self a favor and buy the SCTV DVD box sets. They are comedy gold.
"Airing on NBC from Sept. - Dec. 1988 for a single season of 13 episodes. The show is the only Saturday morning animated adaptation of both an SCTV character and a Saturday Night Live character, and the first Saturday morning cartoon featuring an SCTV cast member (later joined by Camp Candy, featuring John Candy, and Rick Moranis's Gravedale High)."
I enjoyed the Count Floyd bit from this show; otherwise, meh.
@adlad75 Bob & Doug McKenzie also had a cartoon from 2009 to 2011 and The Coneheads had an animated special in 1983.
WTHR 13 Indianapolis fired up 13.13 a few weeks ago. They have had Metv on 13.2 for years. So here’s hoping this is why they added that sub channel.

I noticed that KGKC-LD will be picking it up, however that is a low power TV station & I can't pick it up where I am at, in Carrollton, MO, about 65mi Northeast of Kansas City, MO, unless the atmospheric conditions are just right.
I am using an outdoor TV antenna.
Guess that I'll have to get a FrndlyTV subscription if that doesn't happen.
@r66fplaysgames: Hello. I live in Mission, KS, & I agree with you that it would be great if KMBC 9 would pick up MeTV Toons. I cannot receive ANYTHING from KGKC. I live in an apartment, so I must use an indoor antenna. I'm lucky to receive KCTV-5.1, and it's only about a half mile from me! Too many buildings around here. Outdoor antennas are prohibited. Sigh.
So from what I’ve seen so far, it appears that MeTV Toons is running the 4:3 stuff in 4:3 pillarbox! MeTV crops things to better fit widescreen TVs, so I was expecting MeTV Toons to do the same.
I was pleasantly surprised when it turned it on this morning and saw the wider black bars on the sides - so yes, it appears that at least for now, MeTV Toons IS keeping with the original aspect ratio and is not altering the size/shape at all!
On top of that I'm quite surprised that despite the broadcast running in 480i the image is clear and looks good.
MEtv is the greatest. It's literally oldschool TV with a channel that plays all the oldies
I used to get it, no more in Albuquerque
@@MikeHunt-c5p you can get it via Frendily TV but $6 per month
so is COZITV AntenneTV Movies Network and NostTV. Now you can get oldschool TV free via Roku. All the TV shows non stop 24/7 from the 50.60.70.80s
@wwltd3036 thanks, I miss svengoolie, are star trek and Colombo still on ?
@@MikeHunt-c5pStar Trek is, and also Batman, Kolchak The Night Stalker, Lost In Space, Land Of The Giants, Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea, The Invaders, Svengoolie and The Three Stooges.
Channel 18-9 is already live in Charlotte. It's labeled as TEST-18 and showing promos for METV Toons. On my older plasma TV, I found it by accident without even rescanning. Had to do a rescan on my newer Roku TV to find it.
I really hope they go above and beyond this holiday season with Halloween, Thanksgiving and especially Christmas episodes back to back or even a marathon 😢‼️🤔🧐🙏
You would think they would right!!?
MeTV has aired the Flintstones meet Rockula and Frankenstone on Halloween before so they just might.
Flintstones, Yogi, Mr Magoo have all had Christmas specials so that’s an opportunity
@@ScrewballSports I hope so.
I’m excited as someone who grew up with Saturday morning cartoons and now a father who have kids that want to share the cartoons I grew up with like Inspector Gadget, Scooby Doo, and Looney Tunes! But I’m really surprised that Histeria and The Mask cartoon are going to air, because those obscure cartoons deserve more attention! Hopefully we get some Fox Kids cartoons in the future like Animaniacs and Eek the Cat!
Sad. Not in Denver/Boulder area. I called the local MeTV station. It's not coming.😞
Miami has three channels (two owners) with Weigel programming. Don’t give up.
You mentioned that the station in the San Francisco area might be a tough one to receive (at the 4min mark). Actually it's (ch 68) a fairly strong signal at 521MHz. I'm in the East Bay (27 miles from tower) and with a Clearstream 2MAX in my attic I am getting ch 68-1 through 68-5 at 97% signal strength and 100% signal quality. I'm so glad that this is on one of the strongest channels in my area 😁
I kind of figured that it would be added here in St. Louis since the station is O&O by Weigle. Didn't think it was going to be on 24.2 which is currently occupied by the original owners of the station.
I definitely need to get a better antenna, as I live in the DC area.
Great seeing Two Stupid Dogs and the various Gerry Anderson shows, plus properties NOT already owned by Warner. They actually did go outside the box and spend some money licensing other properties. Respect. Sadly the "local" station in my area has a reception area the size of a Walmart and barely bigger. Maybe early success will spur more pickups.
Channel 2.10 in the Philadelphia area, it is unknown at the moment which if any cable providers will carry this in the Philadelphia area. There is a streaming alternative called Friendly TV which will be carrying it and this was mentioned in the video(I probably misspelled that, most people will know what I mean)
Hopefully you get WDPN over the air on 2.10 so you can watch Me-TV Toons when it launches. If you have cable, contact your provide and request they carry it.
@@AntennaMan WDPN 2.10 yes that is correct for over the air in my area, I have a good pair of rabbit ears I am confident will pick it up depending on what room I am in.
2-10 eh? I have seen WDPN from my south FL home. “TV DX”-but it will only come in in two-second spurts, only during May/June/July.
My local station that has MeTV moved Retro-TV from it's subchannel on another station and substituted Home Shopping network. I hope it's only a placeholder for till MeTV Toons is on. Though the station or market isn't listed.
Not in NE Tennessee even though two channels carry ME TV and one has seven sub channels.
What's interesting is that the station that airs MeTV in Atlanta is not owned by the same station that is going to air MeTV toons. It is possible that in the Atlanta market MeTV Toons actually makes it onto RUclips TV because the affiliates owner Gray TV (which owns Atlanta's CBS affiliate) has made the same agreement for all of its other subchannels
I don't see Me-TV Toons being picked up by RUclips TV since Me-TV isn't even on it. Contact the station in Atlanta that carries Me-TV and ask them to carry Me-TV Toons since they are being offered it by Weigel.
@@AntennaMan I would agree with you on a National basis but Gray TV the owner of the channel Me-TV Toons will be airing on as a subchannel has a carriage agreement with RUclipsTV for all their Atlanta station's subchannels because they wanted carriage for their local High School and minor league sports network
Thank you for the heads up because Gray TV also owns WSMV (Nashville, TN's NBC Affiliate) .
I hope that such a thing doesn't happen because that will mean for example that those who watch MeTV Atlanta will have to pay an internet provider to watch MeTV Toons. That's not fair. In this case, Weigel needs to take ownership of every MeTV affiliate in the country.
@@briandonegan8480 Gray TV doesn't own Me-TV Toons. It's owned by Weigel.
@@djthereplay you mentioned Nashville, TN. It will be on channel 44.8 in the Nashville TV market.
Glad to see KAZA Los Angeles on the list. Station sometimes comes in in Northern San Diego County. 90 miles away . A bit inland.
I haven't heard of most of these,but they did have some favorites of mine
That means you are not old😂
I heaed WCCB Charlotte has already set up channel 18-9, they are running a loop of promo videos until the channel actually launches, some include Gertie the dinosaur 1914 and Tennessee tuxedo, so silent carroons and Tennessee tuxedo will probably air on the channel, probaly on one of speciality programs like cartoon all stars.
The lineup is missing some key favorites of mine: Dungeons & Dragons, Thundar the Barbarian, He-Man & the Masters of the Universe, Transformers, GI-Joe, Alvin & the Chipmunks and I am sure I could think of others. There were so many Saturday morning cartoons. USA Cartoon Express was also special.
Weigel said don’t worry if some of your favorite cartoons aren’t available at launch he will add them on at a later date and time
Don't forget Garfield and pink panther, anyway they have hundreds of shows. Mutiple will debut in the first 6 months
For anyone looking for it... Most (if not all) episodes of the Dungeons and Dragons cartoon are here on RUclips.
Wish they would reboot the cartoon, beyond the recent parodies. 😉👍
I feel like a failure as a parent if I don't introduce my kids to these toons.
Bugs, Bullwinkle, Top Cat, & Fireball XL-5...Oh Yeah - I'm IN
MeTV Toons is coming to Charlotte on a subchannel of WCCB (channel 18); on the other hand, it's not coming to the Triad yet. Hopefully WXII picks it up soon.
Since Spectrum is the primary cable company/ISP for many folks here in the Carolinas, we'll probably get the channel as we already have MeTV. I guess they'll send an update to the app to add it since that's how we primary watch things nowadays.
When you first released the original video announcement, I had reached out to KCRA in Sacramento to air this station. So far they’re not on the list just yet.
since metv toons is airing histeria and freakazoid are we gonna see tiny toons, animaniacs, Pinky and the Brain and the spin off Pinky, elmyra and the Brain?
They will probably switch up the schedule every year and air some of them.
@@AntennaMan and also they need to add swat katz on metv toons as well
When will Greensboro North Carolina be getting the tunes I pick up regular Me-TV on 12.2
Just spent the whole first day watching the chanel checking it out. I give it an outstanding rating. I am a boomer, so of course the Hanna-Barbera shows were spectacular, pretty much ruled the day but I was also very happy seeing the Harveytoons with the modern madcaps. Hoping to see "Swifty and Shorty" madcaps soon. The additions of the Harveytoons really complements and goes well with Looney Toons, MGM with Tom and Jerry, Popeye with the massive additions of the Harveytoon library. Was particularly fun to see the H-B and Harveytoons for me and am hoping for them being around for a long time to come.
Hey Antenna Man, which shows would you like to see next on MeTV Toons? For me, I have a lot of picks (mostly DiC cartoons) but my number one choice is the Mario cartoons (mostly because of the fame they left behind from early RUclips). Mind saying that, several ex-Qubo shows considered "classics" are also on the list too (Babar, Rupert, Madeline, Where on Earth is Carmen Sandiego, and the Filmation shows). The Pink Panther and Astro Boy would be nice additions too.
I see Wacky Races and one of its spinoffs, Penelope Pitstop. Odd that the other, Dastardly and Muttley, isn't also debuting at the same time.
Yeah, definitely odd.
I can't currently pick up from CT, MA, RI, though that doesn't surprise me. The Norwell channel only comes through via rare tropospheric events. Too bad this couldn't replace one of the five home shopping subs. Maybe some day.
I've already eaten 4 boxes of cereal watching my old cartoons 😂 .
Omg look at all the complaints in the fan groups about this so-called “botched launch”. Clearly people have no idea how television works. Especially for a network of this caliber, it’s absolutely amazing that they have even 1/4 of the coverage they have, and it’s only been three days! Most networks take YEARS to even get noticed, and some never made it at all.
Now that MeTV Toons is on the air, maybe another episode devoted to the two thirds of the country that can get it OTA and the recommended antenna depending on how far the home is from the tower and whether the affiliate station is full or low powered.
Great news, especially since MeTV seems to be gone from Dish Network...my parents kinda need to cut the cord
Bruh Me Tv is still on dishnetwork what you talkin bout? lol 😂
Can't wait. I live in northern New Jersey, served by owned-and-operated WJLP, Channel 3/33 (licensed to Middletown Township, Monmouth County, New Jersey). Station is owned by its parent company, Weigel Broadcasting Company, which owns METv, as well. 😀👌
You'll actually have two options - WJLP and the DTS repeater of WZME on the Empire State Building.
@@AntennaMan I am in Fairfield County, CT...so I think with an antenna, it's WZME
As for the line-up it's somewhat solid. But looking in hindsight at say Captain Planet, I blame that show and its propaganda, fueled by creator Ted Turner for the climate crazies that poison the nation today. Then again, as I go on a tirade here, a lot of notorious leftists were voice actors on the show including the late Ed Asner and Whoopi Goldberg.
Some of the other 90s shows I saw a glance or two like Freakazoid. I am with some here to hope Tiny Toons, Animainiacs and Pinky and the Brain come on.
And of course, you gotta have the classics like Popeye, Tom and Jerry, the Looney Tunes gang, and the H-B shows including Saturday AM faves like The Smurfs and Scooby-Doo.
Am pleasantly surprised by the stories from the Bible coming on as I have not seen that show or heard of it myself.
And...Boston IS GONNA GET METV TOONS...WIKKID AWESOME.
Ehh, the countdown is on doc...TWO WEEKS AND COUNTING!!!!
Yes I'm also in northern NJ, I'm expecting spectrum to have it on wzme, currently story tv and yes over the air on 33.2 as I get metv plus ➕️ on 33.8
I hear ya, Patriot! 🇺🇸
In south central PA, WGAL ch-8-2 carries regular ME-TV channel, but it does not look like they are going to carry the ME-TV-toon channel. Sad if no one carries it here, maybe later on?
Contact WGAL and ask them to carry Me-TV Toons since it's being offered to the station: www.wgal.com/article/contact-us/3618440
@@AntennaMan Tyler thank you, I sent WGAL a nice email, asking that they should carry ME-TV Toons and why not.
I just hope Hearst in the Lancaster, Pennsylvania market that i live in picks it up.
Back when Tyler first announced this I emailed WGAL to please carry this channel. No response. No surprise.
Dang I was hoping WGAL (or some station in Harrisburg market) would pick up ME-TV Toons

I am not much on TOONS anymore and I am single, but it looks like it is coming to Chicago on 26.7 around June 25th. Some channels already show TOONS for a couple hours on certain days. So whether they also continue remains to be seen.
I am more into the half hour comedy shows such as Dick Van Dyke, etc.
Thanks for the video. Take care.
I watch Me TV mostly, and some of the cartoons mentioned I loved as a kid.
Me too. Just wish I could pick up Metv with my indoor antenna consistently 😪
Sad it doesnt seem to be in my area and the closest station is too out of range for me (if only we were in the analog days maybe I could manage to pull in something, I did that with WB back in the 90s) A lot of Cartoons I would love to watch again from my childhood.
I can get most of the Boston stations here in Southern NH, but not 62. Looks like they are eventually moving from RF Channel 10 to 36; any idea if that would improve reception possibilities or may happen any time soon?
COOL BEANS! I hope this will help curb a lot of the censors who don't like violence in cartoons.
Thank you so much. I had no idea I will make sure to do a re-scan.
My local MeTV Toons affiliate is on WDME-CD, which is sadly on RF channel 20 which I cannot receive due to WQAW-LP's presence. I'm hoping Weigel will strike a deal with WTTG or WFDC to have Start TV move to WDME-CD or Grit to WPXW provided WFDC's rights to the channel expire or even go into a channel sharing agreement with WETA or another full-powered station.
Don't feel bad, because here in Boston they had the genius decision to host MeTV Toons on the low-power station WWDP. The best signal I can possibly get is just stuttering audio.
I guess markets not offering it now also own stations in markets that do offer it and will see how ratings are before going all in everywhere.
What I need to know is what channel these classic cartoons will be appearing on out here in Chicago . Will it be ch.23 ? And if so , what will be the time slot ?
3:10 👧🏻➡️📺
Tv: Now available in Olivia, Minnesota
Me: 💀💀💀
I have seen pictures of Huckleberry Hound in the previews but did not see it listed in your lineup. Will Huckeberry Hound be included? "Oh my darlin, oh my darlin, oh my darlin Clementine."
Methinks it will be included in their Yogi Bear series, along with Pixie & Dixie, Snagglepuss, and Yakky Doodle.
I hope we here in Baltimore Maryland gets it because we already have me tv on Xfinity.
Strange - in Orlando it will be a subchannel of channel 9, but the regular MeTV is part of channel 2.
Now to get it for Miami.
I thought that was weird too. It will work out better for us here in NSB since channel 9 comes in much stronger than 2.
Real Ghostbusters and Beetlejuice!
I’m so excited I can’t wait to see all these awesome cartoons ,,,,,,so many I can’t name them all love a lot of the old cartoons an I believe some not named will be on here too
Thank you to whoever had the idea for this channel just can’t wait
Whoever had the idea for this channel they should put them in the genesis world record for most cartoons on one channel
And if for some reason don't get the channel RUclips is also a option for old cartoons I watch them on RUclips sometimes and as call you local TV station an ask for it
Vice President of Weigel, Neal Sabin, came up with the idea. You can see me interview him in my video below: ruclips.net/video/6LtgqmeTx9s/видео.html
I live in Ephraim UT, zip is 84627, where is 7.6 for this area, so far all we get is reruns bull crap.
AntennaMan, do you have any contact info for the Weigel Exec you interviewed? I miss the Decades channel, but the show I miss the most is “Through the Decades.” Want to ask if there’s any chance they will upload the full run to RUclips or another service. It was a fantastic time capsule and a great way to start(or end) the day.
www.wgal.com/article/contact-us/3618440
Miami had Decades UNTIL the deal with CBS O&O’s to have StartTV replacing it. Then Dabl….
I miss it as well. Decades was quite ambitious. It also had long lost TV programs rarely seen, and of course there was a little rundown on air about it.
I live on the tennessee/kentucky border directly north of nashville. Is there an indoor antenna I can use to get nashville channels?
You might be able to depending on the strength of the antenna and if you're not surrounded by too many hills or trees.
Susquehanna Valley is not on the list. I've already emailed WGAL about it.
Nothing in Pittsburgh 😢
That’s a big variety of cartoons , actually better than Boomerang used to have.
It will be 1000 years before my area gets it 😭
Beetlejuice was bad, but I couldn't stop watching it. And I'm hoping to check out some shows I've never even heard of, someday, when I visit a city that has it.
To let you know Frndly TV app will carry it along with over 40 live channel for under 10 a month😊
Not inthe Tampa market! :(
Tampa Bay likely will grab it before Miami does.
Of course, they put the Japanimation shows on in the dead of night! They should also see if they could get the stop-action series Davey and Goliath--it'd pair well with the Greatest Adventures: -Stories from the Bible.
Warning….”….Stories from the Bible” has parts in it that are NOWHERE in the Bible. One in particular had Noah’s Ark filling with water from cracks. We ran it for a Sunday School unscreened beforehand. :(

Is it still astc 3.0 only? I would love to have it but i am worried about the drm. I primarily interact with ota content by recording it to the dvr on to my media server, then later editing the commercials out before i put it with the rest of my media collection. I've been hesitant to upgrade because of that.
No, Me-TV is not carried on any ATSC 3.0. It's strictly on ATSC 1.0 and will be for a very long time
It's like Boomerang, but better, because it's free! 😁
In my area we have METV on cable but it’s not over the air
It's coming to my area, and thanks to Tyler's recommendation of the Philips rabbit ear antenna you see on the table behind him, I can get it! Best $12 I ever spent!
Not availble in Tampa-St. Pete (Sarasota) yet
Contact WMOR and ask them to carry Me-TV Toons since they carry Me-TV
@@AntennaMan Found Out that WTOG is replacing ThisTV with Me-TV Toons
Thanks for the info. So I'm guessing that I'll need to do a re-scan on June 25th in order to pickup the new stations. Is that correct?
WBBJ Jackson, TN is launching on 7.5
Any chance Me-TV & Toons will come to Canada? We only have one channel CHCH in Hamilton, Ontario that broadcasts retro shows during the daytime. Me-TV would be a big hit in Canada!
I'll bring it up with the programmers, although it's very unlikely since the TV stations in Canada aren't interested in offering subchannels over the air.
It will be curious to see if any of the cartoons will be edited for content, as what was considered humorous and culturally acceptable, in the 1950s into the '60s, doesn't fly today.
Some of the classic WB toons shown on MeTV’s “Toon In with Me” are already “adjusted” for the PC crowd….some WB cartoons will never see the light of day again on TV at all.
Supposedly coming here on some unheard of streaming service. So probably not OTA here. Have a MeTV service here and thought maybe it would air there...who knows.
I wish they would uses the second audio channel for spanish version, they could reach out a bigger audience
Nice! I live in metro Vancouver and I'm glad I can pick up KVOS-TV.
Wow, that looks like a great line up. Looking forward to the channel.
will this be able to be picked up from metro nyc? just see ct and nj. Any idea how to pick it up? just did a scan and not popping up. Should i rescan closer to june 25?
As shown in the video, it will be launching in NYC on two channels. Rewatch the video to see which ones.
Will we see hong kong phooey and extreme ghostbusters on me TV toons?

How do you contact your local MEtv if you don't know which/where it is?

WDPN on channel 2-10 but you need a low VHF capable antenna to pick it up. See video below: ruclips.net/video/6otvIew5tqo/видео.html

Admittedly I didn’t like some of these even when they were new but there are plenty I’ve missed and looking forward to seeing again. DVR is about to get a workout
The morning cartoon reruns on MeTV get higher ratings than CNN does, on average.
