New western TV channel in Houston


Recommended Posts

The new Outlaw television network is now on KEHO-LD/Houston (on 32.7), and KUVM-CD/Missouri City (on 34.6).

it describes itself as "classic western movies and TV series."  So far, "classic" seems to mean "old, but new enough to be in color."

Between Outlaw on 32.7 and 34.6; Grit on KPXB/Conroe (49.8), and KFTH-DT/Alvin (on 67.3); GetTV on KPRC-TV/Houston (on 2.5) and KFTH-DT/Alvin (on 67.2); regular weekend western movies on KTXH/Houston (20.2); and the regular western shows on the KYAZ/Katy-KPRC-TV/Houston MeTV/MeTV+ melange, no one with a television should ever want for cowboy shows in Houston.

Sounds quite intriguing!

It feels GetTV is getting away from that genre somewhat. I work for a station that runs them on our .2 subchannel and we would get weekly promos sent from them for their weekend slots that were exclusively western themed up until maybe a year ago or so. It was called "Weekends Under the Big Sky". They were actually bringing in some fairly obscure stuff for a while like Casey Jones, Barbary Coast, Paradise/Guns of Paradise, and a few others that were short-lived mixed in with better known shows.

The network was rebranded last year to emphasize it was more of a general-entertainment (or in their case "Great Entertainment") Television network, so that seemed to indicate that move away was increasing. 

They're re-launching their programming block for weekends starting tomorrow and it looks like it's effectively the weekday lineup. Walker: Texas Ranger has a 5-hour set each weekday and 4-hours on weekends with the Lazarus Man taking the 5th hour on Saturdays & Sundays. Whether or not anyone considers Walker to be a western is one of those YMMV situations, but the programming isn't nearly as genre specific as it used to be. I know we've gotten a few calls and emails about it on occasion from our older viewers, but not a ton overall.
