    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.

    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.

    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...

    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

    https://www.nexstar.tv/nexstar-media-inc-to-launch-rewind-tv-on-september-1/ https://rewindtv.com/ Starting September 1st, Nexstar Media is launching Rewind TV, which will be a sister network to Antenna TV; Rewind will air shows mostly concentrated on 1980s and '90s sitcoms, particularly shows...

    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...

    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.

    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...

    Circle Launching in January

    Someone mind translating the gibberish? Ah...never mind, I found a link...it's from one of the Gray-owned stations in Amarillo (KFDA-CBS): Opry Entertainment Group, Gray TV announce Circle, a new country lifestyle network Opry Entertainment and Gray Television are launching a new country...

    wcmh TV (NBC 4) in Columbus Ohio Dropping METV

    MeTV in Tampa Bay moved to WMOR 32.2, as of this past weekend. Not surprising there, since Hearst TV (owners of WMOR) also have MeTV affiliations in some of their other markets (Baltimore, Boston/Manchester, Kansas City, etc.)

    The Flintstones are returning to broadcast TV thanks to MeTV (Yabba Dabba Doo!)

    If their Wiki is believed, and I remember reading the passage a few times, KGO in San Francisco was the first ABC-owned station to air The Flintstones in color. As a whole, ABC's entire primetime lineup didn't start airing in color until the fall of 1966; NBC and CBS went full-color in...

    Court TV is Launching a Second Free OTA TV Channel as Escape Rebrands

    I don't think those channels are changing their names anytime soon, and honestly, nor should they be. "African TV"...seriously, dude? :facepalm

    Subchannel Discussion Thread

    It's been awhile since a new post was made here, but CBS' Dabl subchannel, which is scheduled to launch in exactly two weeks (Monday, September 9th), had a soft-launch over KCBS Channel 2.3 here in Los Angeles this past weekend. Unlike ABC's Live Well Network, which was made of original content...

    Dabl

    Dabl popped-up (without no notice) on KCBS 2.3 here in Los Angeles over the weekend, while I was re-scanning my local channels. The official launch of the channel isn't until two weeks from today (Monday, September 9).

    Decades Replaced by StartTV

    I lost KAZA in my area of town when they moved frequencies...thankfully, MeTV still kept the secondary affiliation with KDOC. They could have moved Decades to KCAL's digital spectrum, and still maintain full-market coverage (and be on KAZA 54.2), regardless if Weigel owns KAZA and Decades...

    Tribune/Sinclair Merger dead

    If this, in some way, can lead to the FCC to force a break-up of Sinclair (with whatever legalese they have in their disposal), I'm for it. I couldn't care less about of their political slant, but no company should have this much control of the American airwaves.

    KVCR Going to Low VHF

    I live in SW Los Angeles, and often times when the weather is right, and the antenna properly set, I can pick-up KVCR in my home. There are certain spots in Southwestern Los Angeles County where you pick up KVCR, especially with the hilly terrain in the area. Going back to when I was a DirecTV...

    You also just described (Sony) Crackle...among their original content, there's also loads of classic TV shows from their library (and from Universal), but it's only selected seasons. Starz, to their benefit, at least offers complete seasons of the classic shows that they own the rights to...
