COZI-TV dropping 'The Virginian' for 2015?

I didn't see any episodes of The Virginian on TV schedules for COZI after Jan 2, 2015. I'm sorry to see it being discontinued. I've seen most of the episodes, but would like to see the ones I've missed, and I wouldn't mind seeing many of them again.

Here's what's said at the COZI-TV website about schedule changes, with no mention of The Virginian:

No other channel in my cable lineup carries The Virginian.

I noticed the same thing.

I have my DVR set to record the episodes and noticed that there is nothing scheduled for later in January 2015.

Well, I'm very sorry to see it go if that's the case. Maybe another channel will begin showing it regularly.

It's one of my favorite westerns.

That's too bad as I enjoyed watching "The Virginian" on the mornings that I didn't have to work. But, at the same time, I look forward to seeing Wyatt Earp & Bronco, as I don't think I've seen them before. "Zorro" I saw years ago, but I don't remember any specific episodes.

Do you guys have INSP (Inspirational Channel)? I ask because "The Virginian" comes on 4 times (different episodes) as part of INSP's "Saddle-Up Saturday". It airs 1PM-2:30PM EST; 2:30PM-4PM EST; 8PM-9:30PM EST; and 9:30PM-11PM EST. The other shows in "Saddle-Up Saturday" are "The High Chaparral", "The Big Valley", "Bonanza" and "Daniel Boone".

You can check to see if INSP is available in your area at the link below. At the INSP page, just enter your zip code and cable service provider (Verizon, Time Warner, etc) to see if INSP is available in your area. I found out about it a few years back through my sister. She was watching "Little House On The Prairie" and "The Waltons" all the time and one time I noticed a promo for the westerns and I've been watching ever since!

soleil, perfessa,
I watched the last COZI broadcast of The Virginian. I believe the episode was The Showdown, which I thought was a poor choice for a farewell, since it did not include much of the regular Season 3 cast (listed as "credit only").

I'll miss watching The Virginian in the mornings. My cable provider is Cablevision, and they don't carry INSP. The option to send email to the provider seems to be broken at the INSP website: when I enter the data, Submit shows no response. New channels do crop up on Cablevision occasionally, just as COZI did, so we may see INSP eventually. I'll search the listings schedule from time to time.

That's too bad, GamaRex. I miss the morning showings on COZI too, but I enjoy watching "The Virginian" and the other westerns every Saturday on INSP. The only negatives with INSP are that they tend to show mostly seasons 1-4 and that they "squish" out the ending credits. They don't show promos for other shows or anythings, but they squeeze the cast and credits (in a different font) at the bottom, then go right to the next show without the original ending credits or music. They DO go beyond seasons 1-4 (I've seen the David Hartman (S7) & Tim Matheson (S8) episodes), but they tend to skip a lot of episodes from what I can tell. Right now, they just started with Season 2 "Ride A Dark Trail", which reveals some of Trampas' past, and how he came to work at Shiloh.

I have Verizon FIOS (switched from Cablevision years ago) here in NY, but hopefully, Cablevision will add INSP to their line-up so you can watch "The Virginian" again.

It looks like COZI is putting "The Virginian" back in their schedule, though not daily. I see episodes scheduled for Saturdays January 2 and January 9, 2016, at 12pm and 1:30pm EST. I hope this is going to be regular scheduling. I'm looking forward to seeing it again, and I'm sure others will welcome it back, too.
