New TV Classics Coming to Comet TV and Charge!

NEW TV CLASSICS COMING TO COMET TV AND CHARGE!


Comet TV, the digital over-the-air network in the US, is teasing a new programming line-up on Comet TV and its sister channel Charge! on Twitter this week. Here is a compilation of the ad campaign:



Looking over the daily schedule for Comet TV starting on April 6, it appears that they've reduced their movie block down to 4 hours, expanding their classic series line-up as such (all times US Eastern Time Zone):
  • 10a-12p Noon: Movie
  • 12p-2p: Movie
  • 2p-4p: The Outer Limits (2 episodes back-to-back)
  • 4p-6p: NEW! Sliders (2 episodes back-to-back)
  • 6p-8p: NEW! Quantum Leap (2 episodes back-to-back)
  • 8p-10p: NEW! Battlestar Galactica (2003) (2 episodes back-to-back)
  • 10p-1a: Stargate: SG1 (3 episodes back-to-back)
  • 1a-4a: Babylon 5 (3 episodes back-to-back)
Over at Charge!, the weekly schedule is robust with classic action TV shows. While the movie blocks seem to have been relegated to the weekends, the following shows are taking over the weekday slots (all times US Eastern Time Zone):
  • 10a-1p: NEW! Magnum P.I. (3 episodes back-to-back)
  • 1p-4p: NEW! Knight Rider (3 episodes back-to-back)
  • 4p-7p: CHiPs (3 episodes back-to-back)
  • 7p-10p: Walker, Texas Ranger (3 episodes back-to-back)*
  • 10p-1a: Magnum P.I. (3 episodes back-to-back) [Repeat of the 10a-1p block]
  • 1a-4a: Walker, Texas Ranger (3 episodes back-to-back)*
*NOTE: Walker, Texas Ranger is not available on CHARGE! online streaming. We apologize for the inconvenience.

I am so glad to see that there will be no overlap of the new shows-- start on Charge! at 10a for the new Magnum/KR run, then flip over to Comet at 4pm to catch the debuts of the Sliders/QL/Galactica run. Mark your calendars, the new line-up starts on April 6, 2020!

Happy Streaming! -GB
