WJTV Digital to run ‘Retro’ Content
According to a press release the Retro Television Network announced today that it would be broadcast on WJTV's digital signal. (Digital signals allow local networks to broadcast multiple channels in the same amount of spectrum that used to be reserved for a single analog channel.)
Finally, years of spectrum squatting finally pay off in Gomer Pyle and Petticoat Junction re-runs. Thank God for the FCC. ;-)
