Rewind TV is an American digital television network owned by Nexstar Media Group, and is a spinoff/sister network of Antenna TV. The network's programming consists of classic television series, primarily sitcoms, from the 1980s to the early 2000s, most of which are sourced from the content library of Sony Pictures Television (and the rights to Warner Bros. Television Distribution and CBS Television Distribution program titles). Rewind TV's programming and advertising operations are headquartered in the WGN-TV studios in Chicago.

History [edit]

Origins and launch [edit]

In July 2016, Antenna TV owner Tribune Broadcasting was considering adding a sister network which would take shows that draw older audiences, in an arrangement that proposed refocusing Antenna TV around shows targeting younger audiences. By April 26, 2021, this idea had evolved and Nexstar Media - which had bought out Tribune - announced that it would launch a new digital broadcast network - Rewind TV - focusing on sitcoms from the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s, serving as a complementary sister network to Antenna TV (which would then focus on shows from the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s).[1]

Rewind TV began operations at 5 a.m. on September 1, 2021, making the network available to 50 million households in the United States.[2]

Programming [edit]

At the network's launch, Rewind's lineup will consist of sitcoms, including Diff'rent Strokes, The Facts of Life, Mork & Mindy, Gimme a Break!, Family Ties, Growing Pains, Who's the Boss? - all sliding over from Antenna TV - as well as newer acquisitions Caroline in the City, Suddenly Susan, and The Drew Carey Show.[3]
