    Disney+ decides to go FAST

    ABC has a lineup of FAST channels in their live TV section, alongside the TV Everywhere feeds of your local ABC station, Freeform, and the FX and National Geographic networks. The FAST channels there include channels dedicated to General Hospital, 20/20, Press Your Luck, some NatGeo shows, an...

    A new diginet called Nest TV goes on the air on 10-30-23...

    I just noticed this network channel-surfing over the weekend...it's on KCAL 9-2 here in Los Angeles, it too replacing Stadium.

    Bally Sports RSNs Are Reportedly Preparing For Bankruptcy

    Sports Illustrated recently spoke with the new majority owners of the Charlotte Hornets, as their contract with Bally expires in 2026 (three more seasons, including this upcoming one), and they're uncertain as far as their future with the RSN going forward. They said they may have alternative...

    KC just got its second International Channel

    TeleXitos is a NBCUniversal over-the-air network; it's the Spanish-language equivalent to Cozi TV normally found on the subchannel space of Telemundo-owned stations--classic NBCU shows dubbed in Espanol. Not exactly "international", given that it's an American-based Spanish-language network.

    TV49 translators (Weigel Broadcasting)

    The "TV-49" connection to Weigel is in reference to one of their licensees, TV-49, Inc.; one of their Milwaukee stations is WMLW Channel 49, an independent. If you care, here's a list of their stations.

    Locast update

    LocalBTV is a nice-enough streaming service, however, there's two big issues--the biggest one being there's no ABC, CBS, CW, Fox, MyTV, NBC, Telemundo, Univision, or UniMas available on there, and PBS' availability varies by market. If anything, even though LocalBTV started just before Locast...

    Nexstar launching Antenna TV spinoff network in September '21

    I know that KOIN has a fairly-new sister station in KRCW 32 (it was one of the Tribune stations that Nexstar inherited); it could be possible that Rewind ends up on KRCW's subchannel space, albeit right now it's an ATSC 3.0 lighthouse station.

    "THIS" Tv's future after Amazon buys MGM.

    I would venture that any current MGM content on This TV would stay around until those agreements expire, however long that is. That channel would still need content, even if it is B-level and made-for-TV movies. It's no different than Antenna TV (and eventually Rewind TV, when that network...

    A Streaming service dedicated to diginets

    I would sometimes use LocalBTV as a backup to Locast and Stremium; in my area, it does carry KDOC (the Anaheim-based UHF indie), Cozi, Antenna TV, ABC Localish, GetTV, a couple of our locals PBSes (KCET and KLCS, and some of their subchannels), the TBN networks, and a bunch of Spanish and Asian...

    Meredith announced they put TV Stations for sale

    I guess my idea of Meredith being bought piecemeal won't happen--today, Gray issued a press release stating that it'll buy the Meredith station group, for a $2.7 billion price-tag. Because of Meredith's ownership of WNEM (CBS) Bay City/Flint/Saginaw, MI, Gray would have to divest crosstown...

    Meredith announced they put TV Stations for sale

    You pretty much called it...Allen is buying up seven stations that would have to be offloaded in the Gray-Quincy acquisition. They include KVOA Tucson, WKOW Madison and its central Wisconsin satellite stations, WREX Rockford, IL, and KWWL Cedar Rapids, IA among others...

    Nexstar launching Antenna TV spinoff network in September '21

    CBSN app

    It's been a good while since the last post on this thread, but last month, CBSN added an over-the-air simulcast of its Dallas-Fort Worth channel, over KTXA 21.2. It replaces MeTV, which moved to KAZD Channel 55, a station recently acquired by Me's parent company, Weigel Broadcasting.

    Peacock TV

    I agree...or at the very least, they could have offered the live news streams of each station. I believe, as long as Peacock sticks around, that all of the live feeds of the NBCU channels (including the NBC and Telemundo O&Os, and maybe even Cozi TV) will migrate there in the near-future.

    Peacock TV

    Starting today, Peacock has now included playlists of news clips from the NBC-owned stations in the news section, alongside NBC News, MSNBC, and CNBC. Direct link: https://www.peacocktv.com/watch/news/news-nbc-affiliate-stations

    Meredith announced they put TV Stations for sale

    Not as a whole...Scripps and Meredith would have conflicts in Las Vegas, Phoenix, Nashville, and Kansas City, and that's not even counting the Ion stations owned by Scripps/Inyo in those same markets. I believe it's more likely that the Meredith station group will sold-off by piecemeal.

    Ion Plus and Qubo to shut down

    As it relates to Ion/Laff...the ABC O&Os replaced Laff with This TV on their .3 channels, and also added the HSN/QVC networks as a fourth diginet offering on the same day (except in Chicago, where WLS is channel-sharing with Unimas O&O WXFT). HSN is now on Channel 7.4 in New York City and San...

    Meredith announced they put TV Stations for sale

    I wouldn't surprise me if ViacomCBS and Fox make a play for some of these stations... Fox has been strengthening their O&O base in recent years, with two of those biggest acquisitions being San Francisco/Oakland (KTVU/KICU) and Seattle/Tacoma (KCPQ/KMYQ); when Nexstar was finalizing their...

    NFL announces new TV deals.

    LMAO Good Lord lol... You will see a NFL team (or any professional team for that matter) move to another city before it EVER goes out of business, period. The last time the NFL lost a team due to lack of financials were the original Dallas Texans, that was nearly 70 years ago (1952, to be...

    WWE Makes Peacock It's Home

    According to this article from the Verge, if you're already a paid subscriber, you'll get WWE Network as part as Peacock's premium and ad-free tiers. I believe it would work out the same if you get Peacock through Xfinity, with all WWE content being available.

    Fave TV: New subchannel on CBS O&O stations?

    So, it's essentially the best of Pluto TV, but as an over-the-air diginet.

    Comcast May Drop NBC Locals (WHAT?!?!)

    Programming and affiliation contracts, for starters. A move like that wouldn't just affect the NBC O&Os, but also the station groups that do business with them as well. For example, Tegna is one of NBC's station groups, in terms of audience reach, and they own NBC affiliates in major places...

    OTA Subchannel Streaming: To Stream or not to Stream?

    Perhaps the closest thing to that would be Locast, but that's if they're planning to expand there. In nearly every DMA they currently service, they offer all of the available diginets offed by the local stations. That said, Locast still needs a LOT of work--their program guide navigation is...

    Broadcast Networks Programming Discussion Thread

    With all that's been happening lately, and largely due to TV productions (primetime, in particular) finishing their seasons earlier than normal (and midseason shows shutting production until further notice), CBS is bringing back movies on Sunday nights for a limited run, starting May 3rd...
