Day 67: WGA's Strike; RTN Coming to Orlando; Details on George Lopez Marathon

It is day 67 of the strike. Nothing really new to report, but don't forget tonight we have Kimmel on Leno and Leno on Kimmel in late night on NBC and ABC. Very historic night. Also, don't forget to tune in tonight in primetime for the pre-strike final episodes of Grey's Anatomy, My Name is Earl, and 30 Rock. Ugly Betty, CSI, Without a Trace, Big Shots, and ER are also new.

Retro Television Network (RTN) announced today that COX Television plans to add a sixth RTN affiliate on its Orlando station. The network will launch in the first quarter of this year on WRDQ-DT in Orlando, the nation's 19th largest television market.
No mention of what shows will air, but it will be on the same selection as other RTN stations! RTN keeps growing! Congrats to them and to our buddies Mark and Neal!

Remember about ten days or so ago we gave you Nick at Nite's January highlights and among the highlights was a George Lopez marathon on Jan. 20? Well, we have learned the marathon will be called "The Legend of Lopez" and it will be hosted by George Lopez! Not only will he host, but he will answer your questions! Head on to the official website by clicking HERE to submit questions for George and your question might make it on-air. The 14 episode marathon starts at 9pm on that night!

Coming in the next few days or so ION Television February highlights, TV Land March highlights and full details on that '80s weekend in February on TV Land!
