Does anyone still watch WAM now that The Tribe is gone
Does anyone still watch WAM now that The Tribe is gone? I don't and have not since Igot all the Tribe seasons when I went to England.
shareThe short answer, NO.
Where I lived ‘WAM!’ Was part of basic cable for only one day a week. It was only aired on Sundays as part of ‘Movie Plex’. Each day of the week Movie Plex would air a different theme from the STARZ/Encore lineup. Sundays were kids or teen day and they would air WAM!.
I can remember spending many Sunday mornings watching WAM! Programming in the late 90’s early 2000. I was fascinated and amazed at how good many of the over seas kids/teens shows were.
From what I can find out STARZ/Encore went throw some restructuring in the early 2000’s and stopped purchasing the 30 min teen series and went to more movies aimed for teens. So my Sunday mornings were never the same.
Here is a list of some of the shows I remember from WAM!
The Tribe (own all 5 seasons on DVD)
The Legend of William Tell (not out on DVD)
William Shatner's A Twist in the Tale (own it on DVD)
The Odyssey (getting it for Christmas on DVD)
Sky Trackers (own it on DVD)
Spellbinder 1 & 2 (own them both on DVD)
The Wayne Manifesto (not out on DVD)
Being that we only got WAM! One day a week I am sure I missed many other great programs. I wish someone at Cloud 9 would read our pleads to release all there shows on DVD. I know I would buy them.
Here is a link to other great Cloud 9 shows…many never released on DVD.

All the best.
Like you wpc-j I watched a lot of WAM! in the late 90's early 2000's. When Primestar switched over to Direct TV is when I started receiving WAM! I spent a whole day exploring the new channels and eventually landed on WAM! and The Tribe was on.
I was 16 at the time and enjoyed the show a lot but I could never get any of my friend into it as they thought the show was pretty stupid. I remember rushing home from my summer job just so I could watch it, plus I had a crush on Amber.
WAM! back then was an awesome station, shows like William Tell and A Twist in the Tale were some entertaining shows. I dont even check the station anymore. Its become more of a movie station now more then anything.

Your right Stabstone, when it was on WAM! I could not get friends to watch The Tribe. Still today as I own the DVD’s I can’t get people to watch more then one episode. I guess The Tribe is one of those shows you get it from the first episode or you don’t.
I started watching at the 4th episode of season and instantly fell in love with the show.
