I was so excited when I heard there was going to be a cartoon channel, MeTV Toons. But as my luck always has it, Shreveport doesn't get it. The only way it looks like can get it is to get Frndly or Philo streaming service. Who would I contact about my area getting the over-t-e air channel? I have no cable, satellite or internet. Antenna is it. I've done a rescan several times…smaller cities close by have an over-the-air channel but Shreveport doesn't. It makes me very sad to be on FB and see all the cartoons I could be watching but can't. I get MeTV but not the new Toons channel.
Well, you must have some Internet connection since you sent me an e-mail…but I gather it's not the kind that could get you a watchable TV signal. What I would do is call whatever over-the-air channel in your area is the host channel for MeTV. If my Googling is correct, that would be station KPXJ. It can't hurt to give 'em a call and say, "I'm sick of all the reruns of Land of the Giants! I wanna watch The Flintstones!"
Understand that MeTV Toons is a new channel and the folks behind it are out there now, selling it like crazy to cities that don't have it yet. A little demand from the viewer side might help those salespeople get it in your town. It may also pop up there soon without you but wouldn't you feel powerful if you felt you helped get it picked up locally?
