The ending of 31 was the worst thing that ever happened to NYC television. It meant the end of:Britcom Saturdays (Are You Being Served, Red Dwarf, Allo Allo)Foreign movie classics (Fellini, Bergman)Exercise shows like Body Electric and HomestretchNow all we have for alternative programming is the Channel 13 (WNET), which is pure junk.

I agree, I'd rather fight than switch! But the excuse they give is that it's necessary to free up all these analog frequencies for use as emergency bands for fire departments, coast guard, etc. I don't know how they've managed all thse years without them, and I see a government cable company dHDTV conspiracy! I love my rabbit ear antennas! I don't even believe in this so-called "Internet" fad!

i don't understand why it has to be mandated; it should be optional, don't you think?

I also grew up with Video Music Box in the '80s! But WNYC Channel 31 also aired all these great British imports, Blake's 7, Secret Agent, The Prisoner. Also, if there was anything you missed on PBS WNET Channel 13, it would often be repeated on 31. (I still don't have have cable, well, now I have a cable modem, but still no cable TV! Dont know what I will do when digital TV is forced upon us, I'll have to buy one of those converters.).
