** Weigel currently leases a TV station that is audible on FM radio called [=MeTV FM=] in Chicago, which plays an oldies/beautiful music mix format of music from the 60's and 70's. Considering the TV-as-a-radio-station complexities, it's pretty well-rated (eighth in the market as of the fall of 2018) and compared to the current state of "oldies in name only" radio stations that actually play classic hits, faithful to the format. The format is now also aired on stations in Milwaukee and Flint, Michigan.

They've stopped airing Pink Panther too, but since that's part of a grouping that still remains on air, I'm not sure how to handle that.

Once Acceptable Targets is no longer a trope


* {{Bowdlerize}}: As is the norm, [=MeTV=]'s classic cartoon progams edit certain cartoons for [[ValuesDissonance racially insensitive]] [[OnceAcceptableTargets jokes]]. At the same time, they very seldom edit cartoons for violence, and are overall more lenient about censorship than Creator/{{ABC}}, Creator/{{Nickelodeon}}, Creator/CartoonNetwork and Creator/{{Boomerang}} were.
