ME-TV in Chicago Winter Schedule: 'Chill With ME'; i Network Ratings Has Gone Up Since Classic TV/Movies Started in August

ME-TV in Chicago, which changes its schedule for each season (fall, winter, spring, summer), has announced its Winter schedule. The schedule will start January 1. Sundays looks like is turning into a marathon afternoon, with marathons airing 1-7PM. The first marathon Sunday will be all westerns.
New or returning series to the line-up include: The Patty Duke Show, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, The Bob Newhart Show, The Lucy Show, The Rockford Files, You Bet Your Life, The Adventures of Ozzie & Harriet, Four Star Playhouse, Family Ties, Who's the Boss?, Starsky & Hutch, Kojak, Mad About You, The Nanny, Have Gun, Will Travel, Bonanza, Rawhide, and Mission: Impossible.
While it is nice to have those shows return, some other shows had to be sacrificed this Winter to make room for these returning or new shows. Off the schedule this Winter are: Eight is Enough, Cisco Kids, Lassie, The Lone Ranger, Petticoat Junction, Charlie's Angels, I Dream of Jeannie, The A-Team, Alfred Hitchcock Hour, Black Sheep Squadron, and Daniel Boone.
Click HERE to view the full Winter schedule and you can also Chill with ME-TV! And a special thanks to Josh for bringing this schedule to our attention!

We have covered the i Network in much detail since its "re-launch" in August with classic TV and it looks like the network is much better off airing classic TV! They recently announced their ratings since August and shows like Mama's Family and Diagnosis Murder have really propelled the network! It's not just those two shows, too, classic TV marathons and theatricals have helped the network’s weekend primetime average go up 49 percent. Click HERE to view the full ratings release. And let's hope i Network expands their hours soon and brings us even more classic TV! I'm personally hoping for Perfect Strangers, Diff'rent Strokes, Silver Spoons, Facts of Life, One Day at a Time and some other sitcoms that are hardly seen these days.
