Once the Paramount Global sale is all figured out, the company should launch a digital subchannel network reusing the Palladia name, that can run a wide variety of programs from the company's library (with a schedule format similar to Weigel's MeTV).

The vast majority of programs would come from the CBS Studios division, with at least one program, Spin City, coming from Paramount Television Studios by way of DreamWorks Television.

There would also be a block of adult animation late weeknights consisting of Beavis and Butt-Head, Daria, South Park, and Duckman, a block of Nick shows on Saturday morning, and a block of Nick Jr. shows on Sunday morning to fulfill E/I obligations. Saturday nights would be movies from the Paramount Pictures library.

They bought up a bunch of stations, now want to sale, There's no more buyers. They're gone. Unless Apollo or some firm just decides they want to incinerate money, there's no one. It's not even like radio where a Christian Broadcaster can come in and pick away at stations, there's none. Oops.

It looks like H&I replaced MacGyver (1985 series) with The Fall Guy on Thursday as Dayshift block (5 episodes per day from Monday to Friday.

You can watch two episodes of MacGyver on H&I on Saturday's noon.

That is definitely welcoming news but I wish that they get rid of spam by air one episode of Walker, Texas Ranger and Numb3r per day so H&I would have 3 free slots to put different drama/action shows.
