We, residents of the Albany Capital District, petition WTEN, Channel 10, to bring back RTV (Retro TV) to the area.
Its replacement by "lifestyle" programming is unsatisfactory. This sort of programming is everywhere. It's boring, and a really pathetic substitute for the great old shows on RTV.
Not everyone wants or can afford cable. By scrapping RTV for Livewell, you've severely limited our choices.Give us a break and bring back Retro!
I spent the morning reading through the messages you all have left on this page and the frustration is palpable. It is clear that we are tired of being ignored while the shows we actually care about get replaced by filler content. I am currently drafting a letter to the station manager to ensure they understand exactly how many people miss the classic programming we used to have.

Seeing this momentum grow proves that I am not the only person in Albany tired of losing the classic shows that actually mean something to us. It feels validating to know so many of you share my frustration with these empty, uninspiring programming changes.

The new channel is just infomercials disguised as lifestyle stuff. BRING RTV BACK.

I used to look forward to the evenings when I could actually watch something entertaining. Now there is nothing on.

Channel 10 really dropped the ball on this one. RTV was the only reason we kept the antenna up.
