Is it ME TV? I've been seeing it on that station for a while now actually. They play all kinds of old TV shows like Gunsmoke, Untouchables, Star Trek:TOS-R, Mork and Mindy, Man from UNCLE. I think its a CBS affiliated station, since my CBS affiliate's company runs ME TV, THiS (which is like a movie channel playing old 'classics' from the 70s and 80s"stars before they were stars") and their own independant station.
i think it's a different station, if RObertScorpio is from San Diego.
Nick, you're talking about the stations connected with WCIU - the U.
Those stations are reminiscent of channel 32 in the 70's / pre-Fox.
Not just those repeats, but they even have Son of Svengoolie , a comic horror film host/ local legend.
The stations under the U control:
Channel 26 - WCIU (much of the 1st run syndicated shows like Judge shows; local stuff like Svengoolie, and repeats of shows of the past 2 decades)
Channel 23 - Me TV =The repeats you're talking about. They also have special shows, like major CPS basketball games, like the one January 16.
Channel 28 (i think; i have cable) - Me Too = Other repeats
Channel ?? - THIS = some older movies
i think they also have a station that includes some Chinese shows.
The U has also been a great community partner. They've worked with the Illinois Student Assistance Commission (disclaimer: I work for that state agency) to help us promote KnowHow2GoIllinois.com -- a campaign to help students get to college. They helped produce a video that will be seen during the aforementioned game.
p.s. Channel 50, former UPN station and previously independent, is the "other" Fox station, that is now affiliated with 32. So you might see crossover commercials between the two stations.
