New Freeview Channel For Oldies

[mikeyv]

Retuned my freeview today and found a new channel showing old programs.

I know there are a fair few "oldies", like myself on here, so might be of interest.

Just watched Lone Ranger, made in 1949, and the acting is pretty shocking, especially by the main man, and the poor old indians get a really rough deal.

Can't believe that it was one of my favourites as a young kid in the 50s.

Now watching Dragnet, and I love it.

I recall reading that most cop shows since were based on it, and you can see what they mean.

Lucy show, Bonanza and Beverly Hillbillies are other shows due today.

I googled bonanza and it seems it's a temporary channel, so enjoy it while you can.

Here is the info.

Bonanza Bonanza has launched today on Freeview channel 64. The channel will screen vintage US shows including Bonanza, I Love Lucy and Beverly Hillbillies.

Everyone who is able to find the new channel on Freeview following a retune will also be able to receive local TV on Freeview channel 8 (26 in Scotland and Wales) when the stations go live during the course of the next few months. This is because Bonanza Bonanza operates on the same frequency and multiplex as the forthcoming local TV services.
