Catchy Comedy, formerly known as Decades, is an American digital broadcast television network owned by Weigel Broadcasting.[2][3] The network, which is mainly carried on the digital subchannels of television stations, primarily airs classic television sitcoms from the 1950s through the early 1990s. Established in 2015, the network was previously called Decades.
Through its ownership by Weigel, Catchy Comedy is a sister network to MeTV, and is carried in 480i widescreen.
Since fall 2019, the network is carried on Fox-owned stations in 12 markets as part of a multi-year agreement with Fox Television Stations, after switching from CBS-owned stations.[4]
