GetTV Unveils New Weekday Lineup

Sony Pictures TV’s classic TV multicast network GetTV has launched an all-new weekday schedule. It includes 14 television series to start, with more to be added throughout the cycle.

The new schedule is divided into three distinct blocks — Comedies, Westerns and Action/Crime — airing weekdays from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. ET, beginning May 2.

In a special kick-off event, GetTV will present the two-hour premiere of the 1984 series Riptide, starring Perry King, Joe Penny and Thom Bray, as part of the network’s Silver Screen Favorites block on Sunday, May 1, at 8 p.m. ET.

Highlights of the daytime programming lineup include long-lost comedies The Ghost & Mrs. Muir and Nanny and the Professor; the Old West epic The Restless Gun, which makes its GetTV debut after having rarely been seen on television since its original run; and a wall-to-wall afternoon block of rarely seen crime favorites featuring the Aaron Spelling standout S.W.A.T; Ernest Borgnine and Jan-Michael Vincent in Airwolf; Riptide and Hardcastle and Mccormick, created by award-winning crime author and TV producer Stephen J. Cannell; a special 30^th anniversary year presentation of The Equalizer, which spawned the hit 2014 Denzel Washington thriller of the same name, and its upcoming 2017 sequel.

The daytime series block concludes with back-to-back episodes of the gripping police drama In the Heat of the Night, starring Carroll O’Connor, based off 1967’s Oscar-winning Sidney Poitier/Rod Steiger movie of the same name.
