NOST: The Nostalgia Network shares sneak peek of their new schedule and launch promo for their network launching on April 3rd.
The upcoming network, NOST TV: The Nostalgia Network, has begun sharing their new network assets including a PDF schedule and a sizzle reel trailer to their channel distributors.
The vintage nostalgia TV and movie network, Classic Reruns TV, announced last week that they are rebranding as NOST TV on Monday, April 3, 2023, this upcoming Monday.
Here is a graphic of the general schedule that the network sent along to its distributors:
NOST TV also shared a brand-new 30-second TV spot that is airing on all of the current Classic Reruns TV channels around the country:
The new NOST TV: The Nostalgia Network will be available in several over-the-air TV markets in the US, streaming in Canada on the River TV service, and for FREE online. It is expected that the NOST website will offer their stream for everyone for free, but it will also stream through the most popular streaming apps, and worldwide through the StreamOnABudget Showcase FREE channel on Roku.

NOST TV is expected to be available on a wide range of devices, including Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Google Chromecast with Google TV, and other major platforms.

On Wednesday, Classic Reruns TV announced via their Facebook page that their network will be rebranding as NOST: The Nostalgia Network. The social media post read:
"Breaking TV News! On Monday, April 3rd Classic Reruns TV becomes NOST: The Nostalgia Network. Time-honored feature films, all the time. And a few snazzy sitcoms in the mix for good measure. You should tell everybody."
Here are the highlights of what's expected to be airing during NOST TV's first week of broadcast in April:
Sample List of Movies
True Grit
Road to (series of movies)
Rio Lobo
Planet of the Apes (series of movies)
It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad World
2001: A Space Odyssey
Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory
Star Trek: The Motion Picture
The Great Escape
The Producers
Lawrence of Arabia
Blue Hawaii
This is an impressive list of movies coming soon, and it is also expected that NOST TV will continue with its usual slate of classic TV series filling out the daily schedule.
It was also announced on Tuesday via Facebook that the very popular Indie hosted horror show, Lord Blood-rah's Nerve Wrackin' Theater, will air on Saturday nights on the network, competing directly against another major hosted horror movie show on another OTA network.
It is expected that NOST TV will stream worldwide, as does its Classic Reruns TV network, and that it will be a mere rebranding of the network on all of it's over-the-air affiliates in the US and streaming services worldwide.
Nostalgia themed networks have become very popular with recent cord-cutters, so this rebranding feels like the right, natural transition to make for this network. Classic Reruns TV is the most popular channel streaming currently on our own StreamOnABudget Showcase FREE channel on Roku and there is no doubt that NOST TV will be even more popular and a natural fit for the platform.
