Batman on New Decades Channel on June 1

[NJ_Batfan]

The new Decades channel is hard launching on CBS owned and operated sub- stations after several months of programming marathons as The Binge. On June 1, the "Catwoman's Dressed to Kill" episode will run at 11 AM, 5PM, 11 PM and 5AM (June 2). Note that this channel is a new effort from
CBS and the people behind Me-Tv (Weigel). Rather than have a regular schedule, each day will feature a block of shows from the Weigel and CBS holdings revolving around a year or theme. In other words, expect the presentation to be the same print as Me-Tv runs.

That's great news. Its always good to see the dynamic duo have a tv home.

I hope this new channel is available on Dish.

Its a sub channel like MeTV-- if your cable or satellite provider doesn't carry it you can likely get it from a simple table top antenna. I dropped satellite and cable two years ago and we get about 40 channels (including MeTV, Cozy, and Decades) for free and crystal clear and we are about 40 miles from the TV stations.

In my area (Boston) MeTV is channel 5-2 while Decades is 4-2

Thanks, NJ_Batfan. I didn't expect Batman to show up on there since I figured it was all CBS-owned shows, but throwing Weigel into the mix explains it.

I wonder how many Batman episodes will actually get used since it looks like they'd only run an episode if it pertains to their theme-of-the-day.

I didn't know where to put this, since the listing really doesn't pertain to our show/movie, but reading the TV listings for June 23rd got me ticked off. My listing for 'Through The Decades' on the Decades channel says this:

Through the Decades
New, 6/23/2015
A featured look at moments that marked history, including Jim Ryun's record-breaking mile, gang boss John Gotti's arrest, Nelson Mandela's visit to Boston, Archbishop Desmond Tutu's resignation and the first "Batman" film to play in a movie theater.

The Keaton movie was released on June 23rd, so again, they totally ignore that any other Batman ever existed in a movie theater prior to the modern ones

I finally got around to watching the piece about Batman on Decades, and of course it was all about the 1989 movie. The mention of Adam West was this:

"To that point, the only live action Batman the world had seen was Adam West. His campy portrayal of the Caped Crusader was successful in its own way, bringing tv episodes to movie theaters at points during the 1960s."

Ugh. And I hated the inflection in the narrator's voice as he said, "was successful in its own way".
