Got questions? Read on!
No commercials? Really? How?
You read it right the first time — we don’t show commercials on Tinsel Town TV. We never have; we never will. When Tinsel Town TV was on the drawing board, we asked ourselves, “How are we going to edit all these movies to squeeze commercials in?” and we got the answer: “Simple. We just won’t show any!”
If you’re like us, you want to watch a movie uncut and without interruptions, just as you would in the theater when the movie was first released. That’s the experience we’re striving to deliver you here at Tinsel Town TV.
How will you make money?
Let us worry about that! You just enjoy the movies! Seriously, at some point in the future we will do various fun fundraisers and contests to help pay the bills, but we’re not worried about that right now. Right now all we want to do is get the word out, grow our audience, and extend good will.
OK, I’m convinced. How do I watch?
On your TV! We’re on channel 5.6 in Wichita.
5.6…does that mean I need an antenna?
Yes. You do need an antenna to watch us over the air. If you’re in Wichita proper, just about any TV antenna will do!
I have cable. Does that mean I can’t watch?
Of course you can! If you have a modern TV (one made in the last 15 years), you should have a coaxial cable input and HDMI inputs on your TV. Just plug your cable box into one of your HDMI inputs and the antenna into the coaxial cable input.
That sounds complicated and expensive.
It isn’t! It’s really very easy. And modern TV antennas are very affordable. You can grab a decent one from Walmart or Amazon for around $30. For all the details on which antenna to buy and how to hook it up, check out our guide:

Why isn’t Tinsel Town TV on cable?
Because, quite frankly, cable is expensive. Not just for you, but us, too. Getting a channel on a cable system in a big city market can cost $60,000 a month or more! There’s simply no way we could get on cable and not show commercials.
But cable TV is going the way of the dodo bird anyway. It won’t be around much longer. Believe it or not, the way of the future is broadcast. Yes, broadcast! Don’t roll your eyes! New broadcast technology is about to make it possible for one TV station antenna to broadcast hundreds if not thousands of channels in full HD! It’s coming! Once that happens, it’s bye-bye cable and hello again to free over-the-air TV.
We’re just on the leading edge of this revolution!
