Again. It is not a streaming platform or a FAST (free ad-supported television) channel. It is a linear broadcast channel available over the air for free. For those without an antennae, an antennae does not work, or your cable provider does not offer it then you can choose either Frndly TV or Philo. Frndly TV does not include local channels while Philo is intended to be a replacement for antennae and traditional cable so you do get locals.

I can't wait to see what shows the channel will get in time.

Dragon78 · 07-25-2024, 10:33 AM

Too bad Animaniacs and Tiny Toons will be hard for them to get.

Bubbles-11 · 08-01-2024, 07:48 PM

A large majority of the former Boomerang streaming service's catalog (not all of it will be included though, likely referring to the CN shows) will be transferring over to Max on September 30th. There could be a possibility that we could see some of the Hanna Barbera MeTV Toons remasters pop up on there but it's not confirmed.

brenton2000 · 08-01-2024, 08:28 PM

I really hope Popeye will be back on Max after they merge.

Dragon78 · 08-02-2024, 10:33 AM

I hope (what is left of)Popeye will get a blu ray release.

Bubbles-11 · 08-24-2024, 09:24 PM

Weigel Broadcasting and WB's new HD Top Cat masters are now airing on MeTV Toons. their remasters of The Yogi Bear Show and The Huckleberry Hound Show should be coming by the end of the year for a themed HB block

Dragon78 · 08-26-2024, 11:00 AM

So glad this channel exists, since they seem to be getting them to do HD transfers for these shows.

Dragon78 · 08-29-2024, 10:32 AM

Has there been any rumors of them getting any non-Hanna-Barbara 80's cartoons?

I hope they manage to get Animaniacs and Tiny Toons.

libertyeagle20 · 08-29-2024, 10:09 PM

I'm glad I found this thread. For some reason this channel still doesn't show up in tv guide for me and their official site says coming soon. I wasn't even able to find it by scanning for new channels, I had to do a full delete/rescan and it showed up. Sadly it's a subchannel in my area.so it's only coming through as 480i (I think?). Thankfully there aren't that many subchannels off the main channel so the quality is still better than stations with 7 or 8 subchannels. I'm enjoying the nice variety - looney tunes, Casper, the mask, police academy,etc! Even in SD OTA they look pretty decent. Hopefully they move this to a main channel in HD in the future!

Dragon78 · 09-02-2024, 11:16 AM

Well glad you got the channel.....even if it is at 480i.

Dragon78 · 09-12-2024, 07:02 PM

So what cartoons on this channel are actually in HD?

Jodi · 09-13-2024, 03:24 AM

Here in Lexington, KY it is OTA at 720p.

As for non-HB 80s cartoons, SilverHawks might make it on to MeTV Toons maybe in 2025? It's about all I've heard and read on that note. Other than that, currently airing are The Real Ghostbusters, Challenge of the GoBots, Mr. T, ...Ed Grimley.

Yes, Top Cat is airing re-mastered, so are Josie and the ***** Cats, Jonny Quest (original), The Flintstones, some of Bugs Bunny & Friends (depends on which shorts have been remastered and minted with HD transfer).

Rogue Deputy · 09-13-2024, 01:48 PM

Do the Popeye shorts from the 50s appear to be remastered?

Seems they haven't restored the 50s shorts yet.

Dragon78 · 09-13-2024, 07:48 PM

Does Freakazoid appear to be remastered?

I think they’re focusing on Hanna Barbera for now.

Dragon78 · 09-16-2024, 11:19 AM

Well if they are focusing only on Hanna-Barbara, I hope Pirates of Dark Water and SWAT Kats get some HD love.

Network23 · 09-16-2024, 11:18 PM

After having this full channel for the last month now over the air it seems to have finally stabilized through my tv antenna. Loving the late night stuff myself. Nice to see Speed Racer without the superimposed newer logo over the title card. Appreciate Marine Boy with all the Speed Racer crew doing all the voice work as well. Great to see Supermarionation represented in a nice block Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet, Joe 90, Supercar, which they had a prime time slot as well!

Would love to see more Early Filmation toons if they could get them!

libertyeagle20 · 09-17-2024, 06:39 PM

I've had so much trouble with this station. It often works but then out of the blue I will start getting a pixilated/frozen feed. This is the only station I have problems with so I dont know if something is wrong on their side. To make things even more annoying, this channel still isn't even listed on TV Guide for my area and I can't even find their tower when using the Antenna Point app.
