Rewind TV is an Americandigitaltelevision network owned byNexstar Media Group, and is a spinoff/sister network ofAntenna TV. The network's programming consists of classic television series, primarily sitcoms, from the 1980s to the early 2000s. Rewind TV's programming and advertising operations are headquartered in theWGN-TV studios inChicago.
In July 2016, Antenna TV ownerTribune Broadcasting was considering adding a sister network which would take shows that draw older audiences, in an arrangement that proposed refocusingAntenna TV around shows targeting younger audiences. By April 26, 2021, this idea had evolved and Nexstar Media - which had bought out Tribune - announced that it would launch a new digital broadcast network -Rewind TV - focusing on sitcoms from the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s, serving as a complementary sister network to Antenna TV (which now focuses on shows from the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s).[1]
Rewind TV began operations at 5 a.m. on September 1, 2021, making the network available to 50 million households in the United States.[2]
The network is available in manymedia markets via thedigital subchannels ofover-the-airtelevision stations, and on selectcable television providers, such asXfinity through a local affiliate of the network andIPTV. However, as of 2025, it is not available on any streaming service with the network's owner, Nexstar not interested in this platform.[3]
Rewind TV broadcasts 24 hours a day in either 480i standard definition or 720p high definition depending on market.
