Luken Communications, owner and operator of Retro TV and TUFF TV in the US, is partnering with Classic Media to create a new retro-style network called PBJ.

The 24-hour network, set to launch in the US this summer, will feature Classic Media titles from the 1950s, ‘60s, ‘70s and ‘80s. Those include The Archie’s, Mr. Magoo, The Lone Ranger, Gumby and Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids. PBJ will be available to broadcasters, cable and satellite providers.

Luken’s RTV currently reaches more than 77 million homes and features classic live-action shows from the 1950s through the 1980s such as The A-Team, Dragnet, McHale’s Navy and The Rockford Files.
