If you love TCM and all the classics it airs, then you’ll want to add Family Entertainment TV (FETV) to your channel lineup too, if it’s not there yet. Though the titles here are probably more obscure, FETV still has beloved shows on rotation like Perry Mason (the original one), Bewitched, Daniel Boone, and Quincy, M.E. Western fans will also find much to love here, since it carries a handful of serials set in the Wild West.
FETV may be a cable network, but you don’t need to have cable to watch it. It’s available on live TV streaming services, which apart from being cordless and contract-less, also offer nifty free trials.
You can watch FETV at zero cost by signing up for either of the free trials offered by Philo and FrndlyTV. The trials vary in length by service, so make sure you cancel before the trial ends. Otherwise, you’re charged the regular monthly fee. If you are interested in a long-term commitment, then you can read more about the services’ many other features and channel offerings below.
