REWIND TV Launches September 1, 2021

CHICAGO, IL (August 17, 2021) – Rewind TV today announced that iconic radio pop legend Rick Dees has signed on as the voice of the network, a digital subchannel owned and operated by Nexstar Media Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nexstar Media Group, Inc.

At its launch, Rewind TV will reach 40 percent of U.S. television households, or nearly 50 million homes, including the country’s largest markets, New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago. Rewind TV will be available on newly designated or recently vacated digital sub-channels licensed to Nexstar.

Rick Dees brings his popular and iconic voice plus a pop culture embodiment of a beloved era celebrating boomboxes, Cabbage Patch Kids, and Rubik’s Cubes to a new network showcasing the best of sitcoms from that period.

Mr. Dees is a People’s Choice Award recipient, a Grammy-nominated performing artist, and Broadcast Hall of Fame inductee. He performed the title song for the film Meatballs. He co-founded the E. W.

Today, he continues his own syndicated daily radio show, Daily Dees, and the syndicated Rick Dees Weekly Top 40 Countdown.

“REWIND TV will air the TV comedy hits of the 80s, 90s and beyond, so there’s no better personality than Radio and TV personality Rick Dees to be the voice between the hits,” said Sean Compton, President of Nexstar Media Inc.’s Networks Division.
