Family Entertainment Television Expands Reach with Mediacom Launch

Family Entertainment Television (FETV) recently announced an exciting development for families across the nation: both FETV and its companion network, Family Movie Classics (FMC), are now available on Mediacom. This partnership marks a significant step in enhancing the viewing options for family-oriented programming on one of the United States’ leading cable providers.

In a statement, Cara Conte, the Executive Vice President of Affiliate Sales for FETV and FMC, expressed enthusiasm about the collaboration. She noted, "We're excited about FETV and FMC joining the Mediacom Communications line-up. Our networks deliver a carefully curated mix of timeless fan-favorite shows and beloved classic movies that appeal to the whole family. This partnership allows us to expand our reach and share the stories audiences love with even more viewers."

A Timeless Programming Lineup

FETV, which features a lineup filled with classic television shows, includes audience favorites such as Emergency!, Leave It to Beaver, Perry Mason, The Jeffersons, and The Munsters. Notably, all episodes are broadcast in their original, uncut formats, a factor that has significantly contributed to FETV's success. According to Nielsen data, the channel ranks among the top 40 ad-supported cable networks during prime time, showcasing its strong viewer engagement.

On the other hand, FMC offers a rotating selection of classic films that the entire family can enjoy. Launched in 2021, FMC has made a name for itself by featuring gems from the movie vault, celebrating the cinematic artistry from the 1930s through to the 1980s. This October, FMC is introducing a special programming lineup, dubbed “Fade to Black,” which pays homage to iconic film noir. Notable titles such as The Maltese Falcon (1941), The Big Sleep (1946), and Double Indemnity (1944) will be part of this special lineup.

Enhanced Availability

Since its inception in 2013, FETV has continually broadened its broadcast reach. With its content now available across cable, satellite, and virtual platforms, the network proudly serves close to 50 million households. Similarly, FMC is designed to cater to movie aficionados by providing an accessible 24-hour programming schedule, featuring nostalgic cinematic experiences.

The unique blend of classic television and timeless films makes FETV and FMC ideal for family viewing, aiming to unite generations in appreciation of entertaining and heartwarming narratives. As they launch on Mediacom, both networks are poised to introduce more audiences to the cherished television series and films from the past that many have come to love.

FETV and FMC are owned and operated by Family Broadcasting Company, headquartered in South Bend, Indiana, with an additional office located in New York City. With their commitment to enriching family entertainment, they continue to make strides in a competitive broadcasting landscape. Families now have even greater access to nostalgic and beloved programming, fostering collective viewing experiences that strengthen family bonds through shared entertainment.

A Bright Future Ahead

This partnership not only opens doors for increased viewer reach but also sets the stage for future collaborations and programming innovations. As families seek more quality entertainment options that engage all members, FETV and FMC are dedicated to providing content that resonates, uplifts, and entertains. The alliance with Mediacom represents a pivotal moment in FETV and FMC's journey to becoming household names in family entertainment and brings the joy of shared viewing experiences directly into living rooms across America.
