WE tv Acquires Frasier; Svengoolie Goes National on MeTV Network
That's about it for WE tv, as the rest of the schedule is reality series. On Tuesday nights they will premiere two new series starting April 12 in Braxton Family Values and Sinbad's It's Just Family. Maybe they should air the short-lived early '90s comedy Sinbad as a promotion? Wishful thinking. Stay tuned for any further information on Frasier on WE tv!
Yesterday we gave you news on MeTV getting more affiliates, now we have scheduling news. MeTV is opening up the dungeon door and unleashing Svengoolie on the country! For more than 30 years, Svengoolie has been Chicago's premiere horror show host. Now, this classic program is airing nationwide on the Me-TV Network! It began on Saturday, April 2, and Svengoolie will continue to open up his coffin for business every Saturday night at 10PM/9c on Me-TV.
Since Svengoolie first debuted, generations of viewers have become dedicated fans of the movie event which mixes up horror and humor. This phenomenon was not limited to Chicago; many television stations across the country, from the 1950's until 1980's had beloved horror movie hosts but Svengoolie's cult-followers never stopped watching. Me-TV's brand is about presenting and preserving memorable entertainment, making Svengoolie a perfect fit for the classic television network.
Svengoolie will feature classic Universal horror films, many of which have not been seen on broadcast television in years, including Bride of Frankenstein, The Wolf Man, Creature from the Black Lagoon and The Invisible Man. And it's Sven's unique scary sense of humor that makes each program a frightfully funny experience. Me-TV, memorable entertainment television is a classic TV network owned and operated by Weigel Broadcasting Co. Log on to MeTVNetwork.com for a program schedule, as well as where to watch Me-TV.
