I'm glad that MeTV struck while the iron was hot for their animated network spinoff! There was a surprising lack of cartoons on broadcast TV ever since the discontinuation of Saturday morning cartoons on the major networks and the loss of Qubo in recent years...I'm glad Weigel Broadcasting filled the void by adding Flintstones to MeTV's classic TV schedule. That program acquisition, along with Looney Tunes, The Jetsons, and the creation of Toon in With Me, were the sparks that ignited Weigel Broadcasting's interest in the potential of classic animation programming, creating MeTV Toons as a result.
I hope so too it's not gonna be exactly the same. I heard if they actually make one. Because if you see in the fine print on most commercials, it says on most metv toons platforms so yeah my cable company now has it, but I also pay for friendly so I can watch it anytime
Fantastic news that MeTV Toons is going to launch a free streaming channel!!!!!!! My Roku TV keeps deleting MeTV Toons from my channels while it keeps every other subchannel from the same provider.
Please, no more sports on ad free services. The sports programming is raising the price. Believe it or not, many people are like me and have zero interest in sports. Put all the sports in one place and get them off the ad free entertainment services!
I'm a fan of MeTV and LIVE MeTV toons, so if they do have a streaming app, I'd definitely be thrilled! And I'm NOT a sports fan, just a wrestling fan, so Disney buying the NFL network means nothing to me.
Great news about MeTV Toons! I love this channel but dislike the sketchy places I have to access to stream it as I live in southern Oregon. The area is a media dead zone.
Yeah, as if I want a cable company to have direct access to my bank account only for them to get hacked. I'd rather keep that buffer and lose the discount if I have to.
on another note: Venu Sports is canceled. The companies behind the sports streaming service made the announcement days after Disney and Fubo struck a deal that settled litigation related to Venu Sports.
Hopefully Metv toons dose a free streaming on Pluto or other such service this year. I currently have basic paramount and peacock, it'll be interesting if they merge.
The Los Angeles wildfire caused MeTvToons to shut down or something. So a free streaming service might help people that are still safe near there to get access to the channel without having to wait for the OTA to get repair
I got the chance to watch MeTV Toons while visiting family in southern Florida over the holidays. I love being able to watch those old shows. I can't get MeTV Toons OTA where I am in metro Atlanta due to low power signals and I don't want to subscrible to another streaming service. So, I am stoked at the chance to get the channel via an existing service I subscribe to or a device I already own. There are some changes coming to OTA channels in the metro, so hopefully MeTV Toons is simulcast with a stronger signal. Then I can enjoy both.
I've never seen MeTV Toons even tho it is supposed to be available in my area. In fact, ALL of the subchannels of my local affiliate have disappeared. Online TV schedules show the the programing is still being broadcast, and discussion forums have shown me that there are viewers who are able to watch them, however. All they can suggest is to do a rescan. I doubt rescanning will make any difference because I suspect those subchannels are now being transmitted using ASTC 3.0, so unless your TV is equipped to handle that you are SOL. I just don't understand why admitting this is so problematic that no one does.
Disney wants NFL so that they can PPV the playoffs, superbowl and so on.. Figure $100 to see the super bowl, plus $1000 or so per year just to get NFL? They need something like that to ALLOW purchase of the superbowl...
@@lindamcdaniel2419 Simple: Disney is looking for a way to get REALLY profitable with Disney +. They put billions into programming that did not drive subscriptions. They put billions into the Hulu purchase. They are buysing Fubo to avoid a huge lawsuit. Purchase of the NFL network means that over the air Football could easily drop into their hands for PPV.. and to make the league happy, huge $$$$$ is needed to pay them off. They have had to **give** away advertising supported subscriptions to the cable companies. Those keep the eye balls, but not nice big payments for the accounts. (Think: COMCAST.) If you don't follow the crumbs, you don't see the right horizon. Iger would like the be lord over a monopoly. Naturally that won't happen under his stewardship, but he's going to try for it...
Autopay on CC/Debit cards - Yeah, I remember when you could get a discount for doing that, now they are adding charges back for those rather than just raise the price a bit. It seems disingenuous to me when they advertise their service prices then add that in as a separate charge when you get billed. I also experienced that recently at a local movie theater, adding a CC/debit card service charge to the ticket cost. Not a good look when a business does that. 😠
NFL network is a mess all its own. All they need is Disney involved to really screw it up. Disney will be demanding DEI hires for teams and cross-dressing Cheerleaders.
As a Max subscriber, this irks me. I know multiple studios are doing it, but WB farming out content takes content away from Max. It's better to have things consolidated on one service so that I one can track his viewing history more easily. I don't mind stuff appearing on multiple services, but removing stuff from Max decreases its import.
@chalabrooks5433 Which is why I prefaced with, "I know multiple studios are doing it." Thing is, not all studios do this to the same extent. Disney and Apple don't seem to do it at all. Sony's content seemingly coexists on multiple services. Netflix only seems to remove their content when they sell it to another studio or something becomes banned, like that one "Maya" episode. Max is missing, like, half their stuff because of exclusivity deals with other streamers. More than that, there are periods where some of their content that they actually own is nowhere to be found, despite being previously available. It's exhausting trying to track things down.
If these companies cannot take my Debit or Credit card, I will take my business elsewhere. I can do bill pay through my bank but I will not give them my bank account information to sell to your scammer employees to steal from me.
I could have sworn last year I did see MeTVtoons channel on either Pluto or Philo. Or it could have been Roku TV free channels or my antennae. I know I saw it. 🤷
i use to like metv toons at launch but now i don't watch it much because they play the same shows way too much especially the weekday shows i need them to change things up and seems for my side there's a lot of problems being a unstable channel like saturdays at midnight they play 2 stupid dogs they play 1 short fine but when they come back from their break they replay from top of hour again the whole station ID show theme all that so until they change things up i'm good with watching just regular metv where i'm exactly a mile from the station that carries the channel's transmitter tower so i can pick up the channel very strong even without any antenna's connected to my sling airtv box it picks it up and during the rescan it shows all green on the strength
WELL NEED CABLE TV FOR MY MANY ROOM PHONE SERVICE WIFI SERVICE BLUETUBE SERVICE WITHOUT CABLE I HAVE NOTHING--OVER AIR ONLY GET 10 TO 12 STATIONS MOST I GET SUCK NO PBS OR TV-29 PHILIA PA. RECEIVED IN MY AREA FCC MADE THEM CUT POWER. SO NO CORD CUTTING AT MY HOUSE BECAUSE OF NEW FCC RULES.
Well that's like I keep asking and you haven't answered yet. My theory is that they're just going to rebrand WB cartoon rewind as the me TV toon free stream because it does have some similar shows but they also have some shows that are not on the main Channel but there certainly is a lot of demand to put on the main Channel such as pirates of dark water and silverhawks
I'm interested in metv tune as well as hopefully at some point in time me tv doing a free channel on a streamer as well as a potential venture/merger of Paramount Plus and peacock as it could be interesting. No, no, no, hell no to Disney getting NFL network and possibly NFL plus. I just can't see Amazon and Netflix and NBC Universal which is owned by Comcast and CBS owned by Paramount Sky dance etc being okay with Disney getting an even bigger piece of the the pie for the NFL.
@@deniseg8312 Yeah, people like this remind me of how I felt at Christmas when my (very southern) uncle would get drunk on Christmas punch, watch "Gone with the Wind" and pine for "The Good Ole Days" (you can guess what he meant...) it was just a sad, embarrassing relic of the past and made me sad for him.
Hum once again so many options & only so much time another problem is how big will the viewership be Free means more adds $$$$$$ hey somebody got to pay for it .
Cord cutter. News unexpectedly looks like sling TV has price increase the Arabic packages from $15 to $18. Ala keifak and for the Al ostoura packages increase from $25 to $30 sling TV why do you price increase the Arabic packages that is just wrong

Oh, I didn't know it's history!
Love Me TV Toons grew up with those Cartoons
Hope free MeTV Toons chanel coming to Pluto TV
MeTV Toons is wildly popular now
MeTV Toons are not available on my local OTA lineup. Hope they do a free streaming channel.
I hope so too it's not gonna be exactly the same. I heard if they actually make one.
Because if you see in the fine print on most commercials, it says on most metv toons platforms so yeah my cable company now has it, but I also pay for friendly so I can watch it anytime
I hope MeTV also brings a free streaming channel along with MeTV Toons.
You're not the only one!
Same! Were one of the area's with a odd TV coverage setup. so our odds of getting a regular over the air Toons channel is slim.
I'm hearing that if they make a channel, it's going to be different from the regular metv toons channel
@esw01407 yeah the only way you can watch me tv toons is through frndly or philotv
If that happens, kiss Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon, Disney Channel and Boomerang goodbye.
Maybe we need to. Because Cartoon Network, Boomerang, Nickelodeon, &. Disney isn’t the same as it used to be.
Fantastic news that MeTV Toons is going to launch a free streaming channel!!!!!!! My Roku TV keeps deleting MeTV Toons from my channels while it keeps every other subchannel from the same provider.

I enjoyed the me TV toon s thanks❤🎉
I hope there will be metv toons 2 because I like more Hanna Barbara cartoons
When? What date?
Awesome! Since I can't get WDPN on a regular antenna, the streaming app for MeTV Toons is a great idea!
I'm a fan of MeTV and LIVE MeTV toons, so if they do have a streaming app, I'd definitely be thrilled! And I'm NOT a sports fan, just a wrestling fan, so Disney buying the NFL network means nothing to me.
I'd love it if MeTV Toons streamed somewhere as I don't currently get it.
Great news about MeTV Toons! I love this channel but dislike the sketchy places I have to access to stream it as I live in southern Oregon. The area is a media dead zone.
Yeah, as if I want a cable company to have direct access to my bank account only for them to get hacked. I'd rather keep that buffer and lose the discount if I have to.
The less people pay for Streaming TV, the More FREE FAST TV there will be.
Auto-pay is rampant with data breaches and I will not trust it with my bank account details.
Correct. Never link anything to your bank account. Use a credit card where your loss is capped at $50.
Good. My stupid antenna can't pick up ANYTHING but old sitcoms.
I hope since fubo dropped the lawsuits they get the discovery and warner networks back soon.
on another note: Venu Sports is canceled. The companies behind the sports streaming service made the announcement days after Disney and Fubo struck a deal that settled litigation related to Venu Sports.
That’s right! Venu Sports is dead!
Hopefully Metv toons dose a free streaming on Pluto or other such service this year.
I currently have basic paramount and peacock, it'll be interesting if they merge.
I'm a proud owner of two Roku TV sets, so I hope there's plans to add the channel on the Roku Channel's live TV channel guide...
The Los Angeles wildfire caused MeTvToons to shut down or something. So a free streaming service might help people that are still safe near there to get access to the channel without having to wait for the OTA to get repair
They're back up

In my market [Boston] metv toons it is a low powered channel and about 40 miles from where I live north of Boston so I can't pick it up
internet with youtube tv and sling tv woouldd cost more than what i pay for cable and won't show the things i want to see
Luke - no Venu Sports!! Time for a new video from you!!!

I would be a fan of metv toons if it were offered on directv.
I'm truly enjoying Metv Toons, especially Bugs and company
What is RSNs?
RSNs are Regional Sports Networks ;)
Hey I hear a rumor that Netflix was in talk of acquire about 75 to 90 percent of all paramount shows once the deals is done
Eh just give me facts. We shall see
I was hoping it woued

Would love to see metal toons since Verizon does not carry it

I get your point but this has been happening on many streaming services not just Max. The "Leaving Soon" section is on more services as well.

It's on Frndly, too.

i love metv toons who ever thaught after soo maney years you can watch buggs bunny with an antenna and no cable sub.

Really I don't watch the NFL Network anymore or anything related to them since they put down their knee during games and the politics of the NFL.
Move on already.That player got blackballed.
NFL network had Sunday morning games from Europe and a full Saturday of NFL Games late in the season so get your facts correct...
Isn't ESPN woke enough? It's becoming a woke channel in the guise of a sports channel.
Every one should wake up and come out of the dark ages.
