Anyone who follows my Twitter feed or read my article at National Review Online will know I'm an aficionado of Johnny Carson which was renewed when Antenna TV began airing Tonight Show reruns last year. It's been wonderful to see Carnac The Magnificent, the conversations and current events of the time. Last night, I spent my birthday in New York City with my Dad watching an April 1979 episode where Johnny joked about Three Mile Island.
But back in Boston I tuned into Channel 951 at 10 p.m. and got a test pattern which read:
WBIN-TV is no longer broadcasting the programming previously seen on this channel. Please contact WBIN-TV should you have any further questions.
Well, I tried to send them a message through their website, but they were convinced I was a robot. So I left a message.
But I gather WBIN-TV is no longer showing Antenna TV programming. Unless some other channel is willing to carry Antenna TV then I am SOOL where it concerns Johnny Carson.
In the grand scheme of things this is a minor inconvenience. Tonight, I watched The Rockford Files. I can always watch something else or I can go to bed. But I much preferred ending my evening with Johnny Carson.
UPDATE: I got in touch with Antenna TV and they notified me that WBIN-TV of Derry, New Hampshire had been sold and has changed its programming and that they are looking for a new home in the Boston/New Hampshire area.
