It makes perfect sense given the demographics in this-country and digital TV.
In the early 1970s in bigger cities like Boston and NYC (IN NYS) they had three network channels a PBS achannel (Sesame Street) and a number of what they called syndicated channels: 2 in Boston and 3 in NYC
and they all played mostly 1960s and 1950s TV shows and scores of 1930s to 1950s movies included my favorite B horror and Sci-fi monster movies, filling every Saturday with about five monster type movies that one day
WPIX had Chiller and WNEW had Creature Feature AND WOR had Fright Night all on Saturdays, all competing.
And this this overlapped with the introduction of re-broadcast cable TV in the mid 1970s when it was legal for cable to just put up huge antenna and put it out on cable.
Speaking of demographics...
I have to laugh at the commercials on this channel, at least the ones I see here in the Bay Area.
This channel's commercials are waaaay past the Viagra and Cialis audience. We're into scooters and end-of-life insurance programs.
Oh, and the usual "can't get auto insurance?" for the 3AM TV viewers.

Oh, Man!

My kids are not allowed into teen hood without being well versed on the Marx Brothers, The Thin Man and Hepburn Grant screwball comedies. I Love Lucy. We were just referencing the Maharincess of Franistan today.
But they’re snobs. They cannot watch the crap their peers are watching. They don’t see the humor.
Good
