Maybe I haven't been paying attention, but IFC hasn't run MST in months. Right about now, their programming seems to consist of sit-com marathons ("Three's Company", "Two and a Half Men", "Scrubs" and "3rd Rock from the Sun", mainly) and occasional movies. Have they officially dropped the show?
On the other hand, Z Living still runs the pre-Netflix episodes Friday nights at midnight, right after "Hunter". Has anyone else seen it run anywhere?

I haven't seen anything else.
A shame about IFC, though. Seemed like a good fit for the show.
Seemed like they were getting decent enough ratings when they were running it in the wee hours, good enough to try showing them past 9am on Saturdays anyways. I guess they weren't good enough to sustain an extended run.

It really is a shame that IFC dropped it. If you look at the schedule for every IFC broadcast, you could see them slowly phasing out the show around late 2020. They barely showed MST3K at all in 2021. Nonetheless, I'm still happy that the show got to air on cable again, and even most of the reboot episodes aired on TV. Reptilicus and At the Earth's Core never aired for whatever reason. It's sad to see it go, but it had a good run on IFC.

This is interesting. I just confirmed that this morning at 5:00 EDT IFC is running a couple of episodes of "Kids in the Hall". So it seems the network will run one of the other shows that was big on The First Network Which Shall Remain Nameless around the time MST3K was there.
ADDENDUM: And I also checked on IFC's website and found that old MST shows are archived there for viewing. So, I guess it's still one of their shows, but they just aren't broadcasting it.

Oh, hold on! IFC does have one episode of MST3K scheduled on July 1st! And it's... Atlantic Rim. Of course it's Atlantic Rim. As if they didn't air season 12 enough already.
Honestly, I'd rather IFC just stop airing the show than air one bad episode after a month of no episodes. You could say that I'm being ungrateful, but I just don't think it's worth it.

I recently discovered MST3K on the Roku channel, if you happen to have a Roku device. Not exactly "broadcasting" per se, but it's streaming in a quasi-free manner there.

Right about now, their programming seems to consist of sit-com marathons ("Three's Company", "Two and a Half Men", "Scrubs" and "3rd Rock from the Sun", mainly) Just the high-minded artistic fare you'd expect to find on the Independent Film Channel. (Well, I guess they've rebranded to just "IFC" now, so the name isn't technically dishonest... But still sad to see.) |

IFC, Bravo and Sundance were all set up as being alternatives to the usual, mainstream cable programming. Now they are thoroughly indistinguishable from any other channel. |

In their defense, staying cultured and alternative can be challenging... fortunately, PBS keeps it highbrow!

Pluto has a MST3K channel and a Rifftrax channel.

If anyone has AMC+, they are airing MST3K eps. Just pick one and watch it, anytime.  They also air Kids in the Hall. Of course, one has to pay for anything with a plus after its title. I just noticed it because my Comcast service is doing a free week of AMC+. Wish I had noticed that sooner, I just saw that they were doing it about an hour ago and the free week ends tomorrow. I noticed it because when I was watching my DVR'd ep of The Walking Dead it allowed me to watch the next episode. |

I've been watching MST3k all day on something called the Z Living channel. 1st up was Attack of the Giant Leeches, then Eegah, and now Hercules Unchained. Next up is Hercules Against the Moon Men. One of those channels on the upper end that I never knew existed. Or something Comcast just added.

More MST3K is on today. I watched a bit of Code Named Diamond Head. Now the First Spaceship on Venus is on. I'm a citizen that's "Not Ready For Some Football" So will probably just keep it on this channel today.

Yes, I stumbled upon the marathon, as well. It seems ZLiving is running marathons of different shows each weekend now. This weekend, it's Season 1 of "Space: 1999". And they still run MST3K on Friday night/Saturday morning at 12 Midnight.

It looks like ZLiving has dropped MST3K. This past Friday night at midnight, the schedule listed an episode of "Route 66", followed by a four-hour long gospel program. I haven't seen it listed anywhere else on their schedule. I e-mailed the network asking about this, but they haven't responded. I'll keep my eyes open, though.

They also air Kids in the Hall.
