Telepictures is producing the project.

More retro TV? Garth Ancier, founding programmer of FOX and The WB, is reportedly pitching pay-TV operators to carry four channels that would air shows from yesteryear; specifically programs from the ’60s, ’70s, ’80s and ’90s. According to Variety, Ancier’s Zeus Media Partners hopes to launch the channels the second quarter of 2014 and would air the shows in high definition.
