Affiliates of the classic TV service include Hearst Television, Raycom Media, Cox Media Group, Newport Television, Media General, Capitol Broadcasting, Bahakel Communications, Gray Television, Quincy Newspapers, New Age Media, MPS Media, London Broadcasting Group, Bonten Media Group and Titan Broadcast Management. “We are grateful to the FCC for their creation and advocacy of digital broadcasting,” said John Bryan, president, domestic television distribution, MGM, in a prepared statement. “Our affiliates understand the value of their digital spectrum and with Me-TV offer a great new programming service to their millions of over-the-air television viewers." Me-TV (Memorable Entertainment Television) was developed by Weigel's WWME Chicago, where a local version has been airing for several years. Me-TV’s library includes series from Twentieth Century Fox Television Distribution and CBS Television Distribution as well as independent series owners and producers. Among the programs: M*A*S*H, Perry Mason, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, The Dick Van Dyke Show, The Bob Newhart Show, Star Trek and Hawaii Five-O. Me-TV is the second multicast offering from Weigel and MGM. Earlier, they teamed on ThisTV, which is built around movies from the MGM library. _______________________________________________ Medianews mailing list [email protected] http://lists.etskywarn.net/mailman/listinfo/medianews
