Hopefully METV. Comet streams online. So it would not be a major loss.

Not anytime soon. When Sinclair launched Comet on WHOI DT3 in 2014 that has to stay honored till either the contract runs out and they don't renew it or someone else buys the station. Hopefully WHOI DT1 becomes an independent station and Comet stays and moves to DT2 then add whatever else Sinclair has contracts with.....
I had posted earlier that some nexstar stations were mentioned to get Kats sub networks but none were posted on Rabbitears, seems progress is being made, Quad Cities is getting all 4 with WHBF getting Grit/Escape and the CW affiliate getting Laff and Bounce......Still waiting for Alexandria/Monroe/Lafayette Louisiana and WANE and a few others but looks like Grit may catch up with MeTV before its all over...
Actually MeTV would make a better DT1 on WHOI than Comet.....When we lost our CW to KATC in Lafayette (2010) about a year later we were lucky to be one of the first besides the Hearst Corporation (WDSU, WMTW, WESH, etc) to have Me outside Chicago and it has found a Home on KLWB 50.1, best move Delta Media has ever Made.
Theres gonna be a 60 day transition period.

No launch yet on WVLA (Laff), however there are still some Nexstar Stations that are on the LIST to get these networks that don't have anything yet i.e. Monroe and Alexandria La., hopefully by Sept. 1
WFFF and WVNY in Burlington, VT haven't added theirs yet either. My emails are not returned.
I got a response from KTAL 6 NBC Shreveport and they said they would post when it launches. Another says that an engineer from a TV Station told him late August or first week of September

I was watching TV when I flipped through some channels in my area only to find that WFRV's Bounce digital subchannel is finally on the air. I wonder if sister station WJMN is following suit...
WFRV (Green Bay, Wisconsin) and WJMN (Marquette, Michigan) are both semi-satellite CBS affiliates owned by Nexstar that share above all things, graphics and logo designs, as well as news presentations from two different geographical locations.

Not sure when they appeared, but a re-scan today brought up some changes here in Grand Junction, CO
RF 15:
4.1: KFQX-HD FOX
4.2: KREY-SD CBS
4.3: Escape
4.4: Grit
RF 2:
5.1 KREX-HD CBS
5.2 Laff
5.3 KGJT-HD MyTV
5.4: Bounce
At this point we've got all the standard locals and most of the diginets. ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, PBS, Create, MeTV, MyTV, Grit, Laff, Escape, Movies!, Bounce, Antenna TV, Cozi... I think the ion mux and Luken mux would just about do it.
