FIC creates an Airwolf omnibus over weekends on Fox Retro after numerous requests from viewers.
I love TV channels who listen and respond to viewers when it comes to programming: Fox International Channels (FIC) has created an additional weekend programming omnibus of the TV 80s hit Airwolf currently running on Fox Retro (TopTV 181).
Airwolf will now also be shown on Saturdays at 13:25 (for 3 episodes) and on Sundays at 14:15 for 2 episodes. These 5 Airwolf episodes over weekends are repeat broadcasts of the week's episodes which can be seen on weekdays at 15:05 on Fox Retro.
FIC says viewer response led to the creation of the weekend omnibus - primarily from viewers who told the classic TV channel that they're not home on weekday afternoons to catch Airwolf but would love to see the show again.
FIC has now shelved the Remington Steele omnibus over weekends and have replaced it with Airwolf.
"We have received numerous requests from our loyal audience through our social media pages and have decided to act on their preference," says Thandi Davids, Fox Africa director.
