Frame By Frame

     Nostalgia over-the-air broadcaster MeTV, which rose to prominence by distributing a pitch-perfect simulation of an independent TV station from the late 1960s - 70s* as one of the extra "dot channels" on digital TV, has introduced MeTV Toons, an over-the-air, 24/7 channel of nothing but animation, everything from Bugs Bunny to Scooby-doo.

     I may never leave the house.

     Over-the-air TV has reached the point where in a lot of the country, it offers slightly more variety than most cable TV systems did in the 1970s.  Throw in streaming for TV and movies on demand, sports and some "premium" shows and you've got more entertainment than would have been conceivable back then, most of it free or inexpensive.

* The reason they do that so well is because they are one; owner Weigel Broadcasting became the last independent TV station in Chicago in the mid-1990s after having been a hardscrabble UHF station picking up scraps from the big guys (WGN and WPWR) since 1964.  Along the way, they branched out into early low-power TV and needed separate programming to feed those stations.  When TV stations started filling up their leftover bandwidth after the digital conversion in 2009, Weigel was able to get in on the ground floor.
