Retro Television Network hopes to return to the airwaves by the end of the week.

RTN broadcasts classic TV shows like "Leave It To Beaver," "The Rockford Files," and “The Incredible Hulk." Until last week, it could be seen on Channel 5.3.

As we first reported last Tuesday, Equity Media Holdings Corporation, the company that uplinked RTN to a satellite, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and is no longer in business.

RTN had hoped to find another provider within a few days. But the process is taking longer than expected. The company tells News 5 they now hope to have the issue resolved by the end of this week.
