Rewind TV is an American digital television network owned by Nexstar Media Group, and is a spinoff/sister network of Antenna TV. The network's programming consists of classic television series, primarily sitcoms, from the 1980s to the early 2000s. Rewind TV's programming and advertising operations are headquartered in the WGN-TV studios in Chicago.
In July 2016, Antenna TV owner Tribune Broadcasting was considering adding a sister network which would take shows that draw older audiences, in an arrangement that proposed refocusing Antenna TV around shows targeting younger audiences. By April 26, 2021, this idea had evolved and Nexstar Media - which had bought out Tribune - announced that it would launch a new digital broadcast network - Rewind TV - focusing on sitcoms from the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s, serving as a complementary sister network to Antenna TV (which now focuses on shows from the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s).

Rewind TV began operations at 5 a.m. on September 1, 2021, making the network available to 50 million households in the United States. [3]
