I recently came across a cable channel devoted specially to older viewers. Now I can't find it. Anyone know what it is?

CRS
The Alzheimer's Channel.
CNBC? The Golf Channel?
CNN.
Oh, like you didn't think this was going to happen ;-)
You mean earlier-born viewers?
I don't know either...
but-- I'll give 5-1 that they show "Matlock"!
The Old Spice channel?
Hey Megan -- sorry for the irrelevant comment -- are you still going to Cambodia? I am headed there myself this week and so felt compelled to check out the news there. Yesterday's headlines include the following:
a) Prime Minister Hun Sen has publicly disavowed his gay daughter;
(b) The courts just had their first conviction under the September 2006 monogamy law;
(c) North Korean Premier Kim Yong-il is scheduled to pay a four-day visit in early November;
(d) Pol Pot's limo is for sale on e-bay; and
(e) Rising oil prices are leading to substantial inflation.
All meaty stuff, I would say.
Do you perhaps mean AmericanLife TV Network, which used to be The Nostalgia Channel? That's at goodtv(dot)com. The Hallmark Channel? Or something specifically called "GeezerVision" or the like?
By "older viewers" do you mean "Boomers" or the truly senescent?
If it's not called CRS, it should be...
It used to be called CBS.
All TV not over IP in five years.
Dang Njorl, you beat me to it.
I thought Megan's question was meta-humor.
I run that channel.
Also, I have a patent pending on the business model: target a customer base that pays you, then blames itself when they can't remember if they ordered the product. Rinse, repeat.
Oh, I almost forgot:
3. Profit!
The channel you had in mind is Fox News Channel.
