JOHNNY CARSON SHOWS AIRING ON ANTENNA TV STARTING 1/1/2016
Antenna TV is airing full "Tonight Show" episodes every night at 11:30pm Eastern
and 8:30pm Pacific with a second run airing 4 or 4 1/2 hours later. Ninety-minute
episodes air on weekends. Antenna runs episodes that aired from 1972 through
the end of Carson’s 30-year reign in 1992. Because NBC owns the rights to “The
Tonight Show” name, Antenna TV’s episodes are titled simply “Johnny Carson.”
To save royalty money, Antenna rarely shows any episodes with musical
performances, so Bobby Goldsboro’s many guest star appearances are not
expected to be rerun.
