Classic TV diginet Antenna TV’s revised lineup kicks off today, including the long-awaited return of Johnny Carson.

The new schedule is highlighted by full episodes of Carson’s long-running late night talk show (also known as The Tonight Show) that aired on NBC until his retirement in 1992.

Antenna TV will air the hour-long format shows from the 1980s and 90s on weeknights, while the original 90-minute format episodes from the 1970s will air on weekends. Sadly, episodes from the 1960s and early 70s were mostly not preserved.

Other additions to Antenna TV’s winter schedule include Dear John, Mork & Mindy and Sabrina The Teenage Witch. For the complete schedule, click here.

Antenna TV airs on the digital subchannels of broadcast stations across America, including WPIX 11.2 New York, KTLA 5.2 Los Angeles, WGN 9.2 Chicago and KDAF 33.2 Dallas.
