Groovin' with the Classics:
Weigel Broadcasting, MeTV, and the Genius of Neal Sabin in Reviving Television's Golden Era

Hark back to a time of campy superheroes, whimsical family comedies, gritty detective tales, and bold space adventures. Welcome to the classic television era of the 1960s, 70s, and 80s. Thanks to the visionary endeavors of Weigel Broadcasting, MeTV, and the unparalleled foresight of Chairman Neal Sabin, today's audiences can bask in this nostalgic television glow.

The Golden Days: A Brief Overview

The 1960s to 1980s was an explosive period for TV. Color televisions became commonplace, replacing the monochromatic screens. The narrative evolved with series that spanned across genres:

  • 1960s: "Star Trek" beckoned us to explore strange new worlds. "The Flintstones" made us laugh in a Stone Age setting, while "Batman" introduced us to campy superhero drama.

  • 1970s: Shows like "All in the Family" and "MAS*H" tackled socio-political issues of the day, blending humor with deep, thought-provoking narratives.

  • 1980s: "The A-Team," "Knight Rider," and "Cheers" became household names, representing a diverse television landscape that catered to all tastes.

Rebirth through Retro: Weigel Broadcasting's Brainchild

While these shows were beloved, over time, many vanished into obscurity. Enter Weigel Broadcasting, a media house with an innovative idea—why not create a platform to celebrate these classics?

Their brainchild, MeTV (Memorable Entertainment Television), emerged as a beacon for classic TV enthusiasts. Today, MeTV has become synonymous with retro television entertainment1.

Neal Sabin: The Visionary behind the Vintage Revival

Neal Sabin deserves a standing ovation. As the Chairman of Weigel Broadcasting, his passion and intuition recognized the magic these old series held. He once remarked, “There’s a comfort level with these shows. They’re like the comfort food of television.”

His insight was simple yet profound: modern viewers, whether reliving their past or discovering these shows for the first time, have an appetite for content that resonates on a human level, unhindered by the complexities of today's digital age.
