This 71 year old cant wait. Jhonny Quest was my fav as a kid.

There's no question why MeTV is the most popular and loved network over the air.❤

Been watching MeTV since 2016 while I was in highschool. Having a channel dedicated to classic toons being on digital antenna is the greatest thing they ever done!

I'm 53yo man, and now I'm looking forward to wearing PJs, eating cereal while watching these.

Before my best friend passed away we every Saturday watched MeTV channel. I still love it

These guys are bringing back the original 1992-1997 Cartoon Network era of classic cartoon showcasing! This is long overdue from somebody! Thanks MeTV!

MeTV Toons reminds me of Boomerang from Cartoon Network but now it’s OTA

That shows you that we need Saturday morning cartoons back. This is why you're the best Tyler when it comes to Over the Air TV information. You can't get this information anywhere else.

24/7 classic cartoons? YES!!! My 65 year old kid of a husband already watches Toon in with MeTV Topeka but as a night owl, I'm looking forward to *hopefully* being able to watch during the day or late, late night. So many wonderful memories of the old Saturday morning cartoons 😄 Thunderbirds Are Go!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

A great addition to the airwaves. Many viewers are excited about this channel launch!

Weigel is a great purveyor of television historic programs. We watch ME-TV, ME-TV+ often. Thanks for the interview.

GOOD LORD!! I REALLY hope that the Networks that already offer ME TV will also offer this great NOSTALGIC Offering! You just can't understand until your old enough to REALLY treasure cartoons and toys from your childhood! Such an awesome feeling!👍🏼😀

Now this is content I will support. There’s a good reason why people have been craving for old TV shows over modern material. They just don’t make them the same anymore.

As a 70 year old kid, I sometimes use to have flashbacks of when cartoons were often hilarious and meaningful. I often wondered where all those cartoons ended up an that if they ended up in the trash I would find them and shared them with this generation of kids. I recall once, about 15 to twenty years ago, I was happy because I just happened to come across an episode of the 'Munsters,' and I was elated! So I asked a few of my nephews to come and watch it with me so they could catch a glimpse of what great TV used to be like when I was young. I saw them restlessly squirming in their seats as they watched me bust up laughing to what they viewed as 'stupid'. When it was over, I asked them, as I smiled from ear to ear, what they thought of the show. The eldest of my nephews committed, "That was stupid and boring!" While another one commented,, "You found that funny?" My smile quickly turned from a smile to a frown,as I answered, "Guys, that there is what we called wholesome and clean entertainment!" All I can say is kudos to MeTV for bringing back ouc classic cartoons!

Mr. Sabin, this is such great news! I'm really looking forward to watching your lineup. Something I'd absolutely love to see is curated classic commercials to go with your lineup. Watching Saturday Morning Cartoons is like going back in a time machine to our childhoods. This feeling is quickly squashed when a commercial for a law firm hoping to find the dead and dying Camp Lejeune water drinkers pops on. Give us commercials for breakfast cereals and toys! Give us School House Rock! I want to Hanker for a Hunk of Cheese! There is a HUGE market for classic commercials. Many of these products are still sold today and I'd absolutely buy something that brought back these wonderful childhood memories via Saturday Morning Cartoons. And I'm sure I'm not alone in this. Thank you!

Who else remembers getting the TV guide in late August each year to see which cartoons were coming back in the fall and planning out which shows to watch Saturday morning?

Awesome! I'm 22 and I appreciate the art of old cartoons. Can't wait!

Bravo!!!! ❤ I love MeTV!!!! Svengoolie, Toon In With Me, etc. ❤

This is great! I am one of those 500,000 people on Saturday morning. Some of the cartoons that come on I completely forgot about. Honestly MeTV is likely one of the best OTA TV out there.

I'm absolutely thrilled to hear this! My siblings and I grew up in the 70s watching all of these cartoons. Can't wait! I'd love to see some old Battle of the Planets / G-Force episodes as well. Thank you MeTv and Antenna Man! 👍

It would be cool if they ran the old toy commercials too...

This is good news, I grew up with the Bugs Bunny Roadrunner Hour on CBS Saturday Mornings. Congratulations on 300,000 subscribers

I'm 38 and holy crap this is Cartoon Network and Boomerang on steroids. I remember watching Saturday morning cartoons every Saturday throughout the 90s and even early 2000s and I absolutely love the classic cartoons. Cartoon Network was great when it first came out, but it sounds like me TV toons will put that to shame. I will most definitely be watching me TV toons with my young nieces and nephews. It's awesome that they are doing this.

This 71 year old man is a Genius He Knew What He Was doing Nobody Even Thought About This To Actually prevent FCC From touching this channel Because Boomerang Is Already Quiet Now this man will be a legend by the time his network Launches And also the b he talking about was Brooklyn i believe so.... Thank you neal sabin thanks for making our world Happy again with this new tv channel everyone is gonna watch every day without their phones etc.

Holy Toledo, Tyler!!! What a SCOOP!!! Thank you for bringing this story to us!

Thank you Tyler and thank you me TV. This is definitely something that my generation of 50 years old would really like to have passed down to the youngest generation out there because we know this is highly entertaining and valuable TV for all of us including the youngsters. This is the kind of TV we need. Thank you so very much.

This is awesome and exciting news! I have been wanting a free-to-air channel for cartoons for YEARS considering it's expensive to get cable to watch Cartoon Network and Boomerang. Now my voice as well as others has finally been heard especially since Warner Bros has got Weigel to finally have the syndication rights to these shows. To Neal Sabin, if you are seeing this, thank you so much for finally giving us channels like the ones on cable similar to History Channel and Cartoon Network and for giving cord cutters more options.

I'm very excited for Me TV Toons to be launched, it's about time we have a Channel with the classic cartoons. Back in the day it was Cartoon Network then that got messed up, then there was boomerang that had all the classic cartoons then that got messed up as well. I'm finally glad a company stepped up to the plate to give us the classic cartoons back as a Channel!

The lineup in this video looks exactly like the debut of Cartoon Network. I was blown away as a kid that 24 hours a day you could watch a classic cartoon. Love it.

Almost a few weeks ago, MEtv's sister channel, Catchy Comedy hosted a weekend marathon of Looney Tunes cartoons, and now there is a 24-hour cartoon channel forthcoming, this is the best news I have ever heard! 🎉🎉🎉

I so miss Saturday Morning cartoons of the early 70's.

Terrific interview. Thanks for sharing. I've been recording promos for MeTV Toons for several months now, and am completely blown away by the sheer vastness of the content! Never has there been a single broadcast platform with this variety of animation studios and franchises.

Wow. This is literally Qubo TV times 10! I'm so glad that Neal had a pulse on what people have been yearning to see!

I love METV ever since I was 10 years old I'm 21 now and still watch METV. I always watch leave it to Beaver, Andy Griffith, Tune In with me, and many many more.

Finally a good reason to get my OTA setup back up and running!

This is a channel you Americans NEED! With all this I'm hearing about kids TV having less of a presence on free TV in the US (the FCC's E/I requirements are mostly to blame, but I also blame Spectrum for letting their late 2010s KidsClick block die just like that, and whoever bought Qubo allowing that channel to die in 2021)! Here in Britain, while cable and satellite was the best option for kids TV in the 90s and 2000s, and still is today, those who couldn't afford cable and satellite still had access to an array of kids programming in the late 90s and early 2000s! The BBC, as part of their Children's BBC block (renamed CBBC later into the 90s) aired Rugrats and The Wild Thornberries ITV, as part of their Citv block, aired Hey Arnold! and Cow & Chicken Channel 4, as part of their teen-skewing T4 block, aired Johnny Bravo and CatDog The BBC launched 2 dedicated kids channels of their own on the virgining digital terrestrial format, CBeebies and a dedicated CBBC channel, in 2002, both are still airing today, but ITV didn't throw their hat in the ring until 2006 when they FINALLY gave Citv its own channel 5 years after they planned to do so! Sadly, a growing number of broadcasters here in Britain, especially the big four, are making a transition to online-only broadcasting! Just recently a subscription-free streaming TV service called Freely launched, which you can watch if you have one of Hisense's newest tellies, but this shuts out those who can't afford home broadband, especially in this worsening Cost of Living Crisis! Kids programming is suffering especially, with ITV having closed the Citv channel last year, moving almost all their kids programming to their ITVX streaming service! Way to shut out children who either don't know how to use the internet or whose houses don't have internet! In March, Narrative moved their Tiny Pop preschool channel online only, another kick in the nuts for families without internet! MeTV Toons is a channel I REALLY wish we had here in Britain, I haven't been so excited over a channel's range of programming in its infancy since Pop, still a year or two old at the time, in 2004 had DiC cartoons like Sonic The Hedgehog, Bump in The Night, the 2 post-Super Show Mario cartoons, the American Dennis The Menace and (not a product of DiC but still) Nelvana show Stickin' Around! (That one aired on Nickelodeon over here when it was new) I feel more needs to be done to keep our favorite cartoons easily available for anyone who wants to watch them! Do you really want to be restricted to what's on the streaming services you can afford to subscribe to? Do you really want to be unable to record shows to preserve for years to come? More importantly, with all this Digital ID, always online and other horrors, do you want a future where you HAVE TO have internet and a smartphone to do ANYTHING in life? Didn't think so! With AI getting into more of our devices, I'm planning to (once I get its capacitors replaced) have my Neo Geo Pocket be my main alarm clock again and I'm planning to rebuild my CD collection, so AI can't get in the way of my morning routine or listening! I miss the days when tech was so user friendly that almost anyone could use it! Would you rather have a TV you can set up as fast as you can unbox it, or one you can only get working if you enter a wifi password you may or may not remember off by heart?

Speed Racer had to be one of my favorite cartoons from childhood. A nearby city had it before we did, and the first time I saw it was looking through snow filled fuzzy pictures from that other city. I was so captured by that show that I watched it through that super fuzzy screen for a year before we had it locally. Yes, I will be watching, and I am in my 60's. These cartoons keep us young forever! Thanks MeTV!!

Hey, that's a cool interview to get! Must be nice to get the recognition from the OTA channels right back. I'm pretty excited to have a cartoon channel on my OTA service soon.

This is awesome! I hope they show Super Friends! ❤

Great interview!! Thank you Antenna Man and thank you Me TV 📺 for doing this interview!!

That’s fantastic! I specifically know a large group of children who have been watching “Josie and the Pussycats” and are in love with it. There’s an erroneous assumption that “modern children” cannot or won’t appreciate classic children’s programming-which is absolute nonsense. There are no “modern children,” there are simply children. And currently there’s very little decent children’s programming available to them. I love sharing my DVD/Blu-ray collection of Hanna-Barbara and Filmation toons with “modern” kids-and their only reaction is to demand more. Several have asked, “why don’t they make cool shows like this now?” Good question. I can only assume that Hollywood doesn’t want to. They are too obsessed trying to appeal to that mythical “modern audience” that doesn’t exist and ignoring the real one that does (because they hate them). MeTV openly loves their audience. They get it. And oh by the way some of this same group of kids I mentioned have talked about watching MeTV and AntennaTV with their families and enjoying classic shows like “Hazel.” I kid you not. But that can’t be possible. “Modern” kids wouldn’t enjoy such things, right?

Im looking forward to rescanning my television to get this channel. I love ME-TV, except that they are a little heavy on western TV shows.

This is some of the best news I've heard in a long time. Even at 48 years old, it will be great to take a break from the real world and revisit these classics!

My childhood on 24/7!!!!! I've wanted something new to watch and you've given me great news. Ready for this. Thank you for the great news.

What good news this is! I haven't seen "Top Cat" in years! And the MeTv spokesman is right-Jay Ward's "Rocky and Bullwinkle" is really adult cartoons (in a good way)

Cartoons are ment to be seen on free TV 📺 it has always been! Back when television was television, especially when on Saturday mornings and weekday afternoons! Will like to see also reruns of Fat Albert, He-Man Voltron, Transformers, G.I. Joe Battle of the Planets, and Thunder ⚡ Cats. Thanks METV!

I watch tune in with me everyday and saturday morning cartoons every Saturday. I am most excited for Rocky & Bullwinkle and Inspector Gadget!

Imaging having this Halloween 🎃 and Christmas 🎄 with those specials classic from all this cartoons , can’t wait to be in the season ! Thank I’ll have it in every single tv in my house !

Its like going back to 1994 where my cable provider got Cartoon Network.

I absolutely hope that KZfaq TV will in some way carry this channel. They currently don't have MeTV, but they do have Start TV and Dabl, and websites of H&I and Catchy Comedy hinting that maybe KZfaq TV will add them in the future. With the Hannah Barbara cartoons will bring me back to my early childhood and would watch that daily.

This is super cool news. Thanks Antenna Man and Neal for doing this interview for us! I'm hoping that this will come to the Tri-Cities Tennessee-Virginia market soon.

Wow,Tyler ,you and Luke at cord cutters are posting vids about this at the same time. Kids will love this and us older kids will enjoy it ,too. Living in Chicagoland, Weigel has been in my life for decades.Your video is more in depth,of course and is dedicated to this one subject. I remember when Neal Sabin was just the general manager of WCIU. Time flies. Yabba Dabba Doo.

I'm a Baby Boomer "1950" and I would love to see these cartoons that I grew up with !

MeTV is doing a great service. What a way to connect generations by playing great cartoons from the past!

Wow 😲🤯😲!! I'm just mind blown with all of the amazing classic content that would be shown here. Xiaolin Showdown especially and all of the cartoons that hasn't aired in like 10 years + really sparks my interest in this channel even more. Can't wait to be glued to the TV screen like how I was as a kid.

pitch in on an old TV station with an antenna somewhere and get FCC approval. UHF and VHF TV will back

I used to enjoy watching Boomerang back when it had a lot of the classic cartoons that looks like will be heading towards MeTV Toons. Thanks for the video Tyler, I hope you’re doing well. Have a great day and a great weekend. Take care!

I know Antenna Man has said this 1 million times. Go buy antenna! Trust me, you don't wanna miss out on these cartoons.

I’m more excited about this station than I was waking up early on Saturday morning to watch cartoons with my brother. Thanks for the info TV Man. MeTV for the win!

So... Basically old Cartoon Network. 😁I'm in!!! 😁👍🏾

This is awesome! I've always wanted a Cartoon Network on free over the air tv and this just feels like a dream come true! It'll be carried in my market (Nashville, TN) through O&O WJFB however my dad lives in an area that does not carry it but does carry me tv, so perhaps we could flood them with requests to carry this new channel. XD

In the early 90’s I use to complain when MTV played Speed Racer when I wanted to see videos. Yet!!!! I would sit and watch the whole episode. I will probably sit and watch them again now!

Warner Brothers characters were always my favorite. Even my mom and grandma cracked up at Pepe LePew and the cartoons with Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd singing opera. My dad always got a kick out of Foghorn Leghorn and Yosemite Sam. Hoping some of these are in the Me TV lineup.

Great news thanks Tyler and MeTV!

Ever since The Flintstones Jetsons and Looney tunes have aired on Me-TV I have been wanting this a 24-hour 7-Day a week me TV cartoon channel and now that it's happening I could not be more excited I am counting the time down

As a Gen X..I'm so psyched! Saturday morning cartoons were so special as a kid. I cancelled boomerang due to cutting back financially ..so I'm psyched. Hannah Barbera rules!!!!

Oh wow!!!! This grandma is going to relive her childhood with her grandkid. Great idea 👍 Keep up the good work dear.

YES!!!!! I've got classic 'history channel' with 'Story TV' now I'm going to get classic 'cartoon network' with 'MeTV Toons' --- we need more remakes of old cable channels like this!

That is AWESOME news ! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😊👍 Thanks, Antenna Man for delivering the news ! 🙏

As a long time cartoon fan, this is great news.

As someone who works master control as one of my jobs at a station who re-broadcasts MeTV, I am really looking forward to this. We used to broadcast ThisTV before it went off the air, and I'm going to beg everyone important at my station to get MeTV Toons on the air! Saturday morning cartoons all day everyday.

OMG this is GREAT news! I live in Canada, wondering if I'll also get this as well. I wonder if they'll show some risky toons like Tex Avery, love his stuff! Though might not be acceptable today. lol. Let's see if they decide to encrypt it...

Awesome interview, awesome news and congrats to AntennaMan and MeTV

Wow, just amazing.... So glad I have MeTV here in the Detroit area!

Looking forward to this. Many of my favorite cartoons back in the day were mentioned. MeTV has been a great channel with the classics for free.

A TV station currently owned by Weigel is under construction in Green Bay, Wisconsin, "channel 31," licensed to Shawano, Wisconsin. I have my fingers crossed that it will be MeTV on the primary channel with MeTV+ and MeTV Toons as its two digital subchannels...

Hopefully the folks behind this channel work with the content owners to get some rare gems out of their archives and onto the air. There is a ton of animation series that never saw a home video release or frequent re-airings.

OMG. Thank you so much, Sir for letting us know about this. Please thank Mr. Sabin. Does anyone remember Lance Link Secret Chimp and Simba the white lion? I can't wait. Have a nice day everyone.

Great interview! The classic cartoon channel will be a welcome addition. Weigel purchased the local station that was airing MeTV here in Middle Tennessee, when the original owners didn't have the funds to hire a technical staff to install and maintain a new transmitter and antennas during the FCC repack. The original tower wasn't tall enough to adequately cover the Middle Tennessee area, so Weigel rented transmitter and tower space at a much better facility, and moved the new transmitter and antenna to the new facilities. I believe Weigel sold the old transmitter site to a Middle Tennessee FM station.

Most of the cartoons that get aired are common ones like the Flintstones and Scooby Doo that get repeated all the time. They don't tend to air the rarer ones. I wonder how long the more obscure cartoons will be on the channel.

This sounds awesome. I'm super excited for this. I'll have this playing for my kids all the time.

I hope KZfaqTV will carry this channel!

I'm so stoked for this. 😊 many great memories. We need this now more than ever. Our society could use more happiness and this is a very good start. I feel kids nowadays are really missing out.

....going in the right direction.

I'm surprised they're working with WB discovery since WB has the Boomerang network that does something similar.

Good stuff there! Thanks for the interview. Kudos for talking to the "big kahuna". Maybe they'll add some stations in upstate NY. Hopefully it'll land on the channel where we currently have Catchy Comedy on "two" channels, since one of them was The Grio, which was dropped back in the winter. Unfortunately many of us in this area felt Weigel gave us the cold shoulder a couple years ago when they kept rejecting countless offers from a regional low power station wanting to add Movies! to their sub-channel lineup. We STILL don't have Movies! in this market since nobody (except the ONE channel they refuse to do business with) has shown an interest in it.

Yay! When my granddaughters visit they love to watch Sat.morning toons with me. They will be thrilled there are many more days!

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!! RIP Cartoon Network/Boomerang. Hello MeTV/MeTVTOONS!!!!

Wow, not comments on Jerry Beck's participation on this channel. He'll bring instant credibility to this channel.

most of those cartoons were my childhood, well repeats/syndicated anyway, growing up in the 80s/90s we had the best cartoons, glad there is a company out there with a brain.

Thanks a lot for this, I was longing to watch these old cartoons that seemed gold to me compared with "modern" cartoons. Greetings from Bolivia 🇧🇴🇧🇴🇧🇴

Hopefully, MeTV Toons will come to one of the full power TV stations in the Kansas City area!

Hopefully these will be original versions and not censored.

My best friend was so excited too hear this as i am.. Hope St. Louis gets it.. my grand kids will love it too

I am SOOO stoked about MeTV Toons! Many favorites from my childhood will be on the channel, hopefully to find new generations to love them. P. S.: BTW, how else will kids learn about classical music if not from Looney Tunes?

Glad he mentioned Pepe Le Pew. Poor skunk has been cancelled elsewhere.

They should also bring back Batman The Animated Series,Superman The Animated Series and TMNT from 1987 would be dope for MeTv Toons channel lol 😂

I'm in the DFW area and occasionally catch MeTV toons. It'll be great having it constantly there, American society could certainly use it. BIG shoutout to Tyler, at his recommendation I ordered a great Televes antenna and have it in the attic. I'm 23 miles from all broadcasters and it works extremely well.

Warner Brothers classic cartoons stand the test of time. They were already old (but great) when I was a kid.

Wish ME TV..would have a little variety on their other channel...they have run Mash and Andy Griffith in the ground...showing them over and over...for years and years
