Author Topic: Family Net: Possible Home for DS Airings  (Read 916 times)

Once a religious cable broadcaster, Family Net has been sold to a private company and now airs classic TV series, including Bewitched, & Dream of Jeannie, and Charlie's Angels, with DS' own Kate Jackson. Family Net airs nationally on Verizon Fios, Dish Network, and a few select cable systems.
Most of the religious shows are gone.

In an email exchange, a Family Net rep says they would consider airing the original DS.
Requests for the show can be sent to: info@rfdtv.com

On Dish, it's RFD.

I tried 3 times to use your link, but nothing happened.

Thanks for the info!!

Hi Patti,

You'd most likely have to copy the "link" (i.e., the email address), open up your email handler, and compose a new email to that address.  I know some browsers for home computer will just automatically open the new email template for you, but if that's not the case, you need to do it "the old fashioned way."

Best,

Steve

RFD & Family Net are two different channels both owned by the same company--they're right next to each other on Dish.
What I posted is an email address, not a site link. You can just copy it and send them a regular email to request DS.
I don't know what the political/religious leanings of the network owners are, but Family Net is no longer affiliated with any ministry.

Just fired off an email to request that they add DS to their lineup. (Fingers crossed!) 

Thanks for the email addy - it will be interesting to see what happens!

Hey, I thought this was kind of cool...not to mention quick.  I just happened to look at my email again and guess what? Received a reply from Family Net already!

Here's the entire exchange...

Me:

I know that I am certainly not alone when I say that I would love to see you air the original Dark Shadows (1966-1971) serial. The show continues to be a cult favorite with annual fan conventions and other activities. I think it would be a great addition to your network.

Thanks!
