Retro Television Network, a wholly owned Equity Media Holdings Corporation (EMDA) subsidiary, announced that Retro Television is to partner with Holston Valley Broadcasting Corporation. Under the terms of this agreement, both companies will form an affiliate contract; thus, Holston will begin airing RTN programming on December 21.

Mark Dvornik, Executive Vice President, stated, “RTN will be available to viewers on both analog and digital starting next week. We are excited to bring our ‘Primetime All the Time’ lineup to the local viewers.”

George DeVault, President of Holston, added, “WKPT-TV is so pleased to be able to air again some of the great programs we’ve telecast during our 38-year history. We are excited to join such an excellent lineup of other RTN affiliates.”
