Me-TV, which airs locally as a side channel to WFLA on most cable systems in the Tampa Bay area, has signed with Nielsen to begin audience measurement. Nielsen, also based in Tampa Bay, will begin rating Me-TV (Memorable Entertainment Television Network) later this spring. Me-TV features classic television shows such as “MASH”, “The Dick Van Dyke Show”, “The Mary Tyler Moore Show”, “Hawaii 5-0”, “The Brady Bunch”, “Perry Mason”, “I Dream of Jeannie” and “Bewitched” in its lineup.
