The CBS Television Stations Group is pairing up with Weigel Broadcasting to launch a new classic TV digital broadcast network called Decades that will compete with the likes of Antenna TV, Cozi, MeTV and Retro TV.
The new network will draw on the vast CBS programming library, which includes such iconic series as Cheers, Happy Days, I Love Lucy and Star Trek. It will also utilize the archives of CBS News and Entertainment Tonight. Decades plans to air Decades Retrospectical, “an original daily one-hour program produced around the news events and cultural touchstones of a specific day, week or other time frame or theme.” Shows and movies presented each day will reflect that day’s theme or commemorative event.
Weigel is the undisputed leader in the classic TV and movie digital space. They own and operate classic TV diginet MeTV, teamed with MGM to launch movie network This TV and are currently partners with Fox Television Stations on the classic movie diginet Movies!
Decades is scheduled to launch in Spring 2015 on the 16 CBS owned-and-operated stations including WCBS New York, KCBS Los Angeles, WBBM Chicago and KYW Philadelphia. Weigel will handle distribution of the new network in other markets across the country.
It is true I most likely grandfather in with KCBS 2.2
Please put the nanny back on at 10 pm and leave threes company on at 9 and leave two close for comfort on at 11 change alfred hitchcock we dont like that please
I’m glad I found this channel but why do you do a whole day of one program and the day after next you do the same with same programs? Why not break it up like you do on MeTv or Antenna TV.
Thx for another oldies channel tho they are so much better than the new trash 🙂

Hi Leslie. The current marathon programming schedule is only temporary as “Decades” is in what is called a soft-launch period. The network will officially launch on Memorial Day, Monday May 25.
