I'm saved! DC-area Channel 20.1 is showing back-to-back episodes of The X-Files.

Last edited Wed Mar 15, 2017, 09:31 AM - Edit history (4)

It's on from 8:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. every Tuesday night. They put on college basketball last Tuesday.

I see it's being shown in 720p, wide screen. Nice. The best the mid-90s could offer.

20.1 is the local outlet for MyNetworkTV.

And I got an apple pie from the day-old (and therefore half-price) rack at the grocery store this morning.

Treasure of the Sierra Madre is on until 10:30, and then I can tune in to Safari Live, on-line. If I'm going to watch a baboon's ass, I'd rather it be on the ass of an actual baboon, instead of the face of a supposed POTUS.

Channel 54 is WNUV in Baltimore. channel 54.3 is Comet TV. In DC, Comet TV comes in on channel 7.3.

I live in northern Virginia. I get some Baltimore stations better than some DC stations. Even in the analog days, this was true. It doesn't seem possible, but that's just the way it is.

I love that diner they're always hanging out in, with the yodeling on the background music.

The first one is the one where Mulder goes up to the Elias Range to recover an alien body. They're autopsying it now.

Channel 20.1 showed basketball at this time last week.
