The Me TV channel is the one that carried TOS remastered here. Just curious what old shows MGM has in its vault that it might bring out for its upcoming new network.
(I've been waiting to see somebody replay the '60's series "12 O'Clock High," for example. It has played on Canadian History channel, but not in the US.)

Weigel Broadcasting Partnering with MGM on New Network
July 29, 2008
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios, impressed with what Chicago-based Weigel Broadcasting has done in packaging vintage TV shows under the Me TV and Me Too brands, is partnering with the parent of local outlets WWME-Ch. 23, WMEU-Ch. 48 and WCIU-Ch. 26 on a national offering called This TV Network.
Stocked with movies and old shows from MGM's library as well as children's fare from Cookie Jar Entertainment, This TV will be made available for stations to air on their digital subchannels beginning this fall, MGM said Monday. MGM describes it as "a turn-key solution for generating revenue for the digital spectrum."
Weigel Executive Vice President Neal Sabin, who developed Me TV, Me Too and The U brands locally, will oversee the programming for This TV from Chicago. Ad sales will be managed from MGM's New York office.
