Trivia / Antenna TV

• Adored by the Network: Most of the Norman Lear series get a lot of airplay on Antenna TV. In fact, Good Times and All in the Family are among the few series that haven't left the network since its 2011 launch. Despite their short runs, The Monkees and Gidget have also had a perma-place on the network's schedule.
  • As of January 2018, none of the four shows mentioned above are on Antenna TV, though that doesn't mean they won't return at some point.
• In Memoriam: Whenever a celebrity dies, Antenna TV will preempt their scheduled episode of The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson and instead air one that featured said performer, as a tribute. For example, on 9/6/18 they aired an episode featuring Burt Reynolds, who had passed away earlier that day.
• Keep Circulating the Tapes: One of the best networks to do this. Although it carries several shows that have pretty much never left syndication since they've ended, a few of the shows that Antenna TV has acquired have either only been available in recent years on DVD or home video, or fell into obscurity until the network picked them up.
• Killer App: When they announced that they would run the Johnny Carson-era episodes of The Tonight Show starting in 2016, they were rewarded with 26 new affiliates.
• Marathon Running: Antenna TV frequently airs marathons during major holidays; most notably, New Year's Day marathons of The Three Stooges, The Jack Benny Program and The Burns and Allen Show and Father's Day marathons of Father Knows Best.
