What is your most and least favorite of all the diginets in your DMA.

it almost sounds like WDAZ is doing a combo weather/local thing (whereas DAY has them separate)
Don't think so, Have never seen any 6.4 programming on 8.3, Just the Boring weather graphics with 'live' WDAY radio. Now they could make 8.3 SD 430 and jack The CW to HD 720 for an improvement.
They should have kept the rights to the North Dakota hockey broadcasts for those not served by Midco. Those fans with OTA in the area. (The FANS will still go to the games.)
Put that on 8.3. Maybe 6.4 also. (It just 'makes sense' IMHO) 8.3- it's skipped via TV tuner programming.

Agreed!!! :)
 
I am not putting down misinformation I was just making a point that they should or it would have been a great idea to have launched Buzzr on the Fox stations that were charter members to since Fox launched in 1986.
But it doesnt work that way. There are AFFILIATE AGREEMENTS that need to be adhered to. Also is Freemantle going to pay money to the affiliates to upgrade equipment to support it?

Heck KADN been a fox affiliate longer than some of the big city markets that are FOXOTS.
point being?

Just wishful thinking.
Like Grandma Berg says "in one hand you got wishes and the other hand you got sh*t. What you got more of?
FOXOTS is FOX owned tv stations
O&O (owned and operated)
 
you can tell he's never lived in Sinclair market ;)
No but living in a Cordillera and a nex-to-nothing is worse.....all they in for is duopoly, triopolies, and quadopolies. A fox fox, nbc, and mntv. The 46.1 which is the nbc is showing fox. I fb the acadiana klaf page and told him the 46 is broadcasting fox he said no so i had to take a pic and email it to him. Oh sorry your right and we will have it taken care of tomorrow, still showing fox.
 
You are out of your mind, if you think that Sinclair is the best media group. If anything, they ought to be dismantled
Hey I wanted to apologize to you for the bill watts comment last month on something I posted. Dont remember what the post was probably about getting all stressed out over the Livewell replacement or the other channel. I realized I wasn't on the cajunpreps football forum with the other men that act like kids. Again my apologies
 
I remember you said something about they worried more about stuffing money in the radio markets than the tv. Referring to where you use to live...
That's red River broadcasting. Yes they would rather buy a radio stations than do anything with the existing TV stations they own.

Hubbard is a family-owned company based in St Paul Minnesota and has been since the 1920s. Hubbard started the company known as USSB which DirecTV took over.USSB carried all of the movie channels and at the time the Viacom networks..
Hubbard is subchannel friendly. we also had live well until January when they switched it with H & I.
 
What so bad about them they own 140 plus stations and have good diginets on their stations, just asking...
Good subchannels? that subject to opinion.

while Sinclair has been gobbling up stations the issue is they don't put anything into them. until about a year ago the Minneapolis CW station could not show any syndicated programming in HD. They've owned it for a long time (10 years at least)

My apologies then I had the wrong Media Group.....I just remembered the part where you said about the more money going to radio instead of tv...

alot have get, grit, escape, and bounce, and me......unless I did not look at all the channels they own. Regardless that's more than Nexstar. The Baton Rouge Market has diginets only because of Raycom on WBXH, and Bethany Group which owns WLFT which should add H&I soon in place of Soul of the South, half their market is owned by Nexstar. That subject to opinion. OK I have 4 diginets which I watch alot. You get maybe 2 where you live and 1 where you use to live. Get, Grit, Escape, Bounce, is better than nothing. I am just saying that with Sinclair, Quincy, Raycom, and Gannett they offer more. I will have to eat crow but I will regret calling Media one of the worst because 3 of their channels have 3 diginets. If they send cozi, grit, and escape to TV 10 my friend I will lose it. I wont watch another channel. The worst that can happen is NEXSTAR gobble up Sinclair and all the sinclair stations lose their diginets. Look at Media General once they gobbled up the former Young stations alot of the viewers of those stations stopped watching because MG got rid of alot of their favorite newscasters, weathermen, and sports directors. As for waiting for livewell to go off the air to decide to make an aggrement on a replacement diginet, Media had since last December to start. Alot of people are unhappy with them. They were supposed to make a decision today what they were replacing LWN with and nothing showed up. Check Media's FB page and you will see what I am talking about. We'll have to wait for the diginet to arrive whenever it does.....

Sinclair has an agreement with Get, Grit and Country Network with TCN being the last one in the list. Basically if they had room for 2 stations you got Get and Grit. If there was room for only 1 (as in the dual HD markets they have) then it was Grit. Country is on in areas where they own more than one station (like Milwaukee)

Regardless that's more than Nexstar.
Nextar doesnt like subchannels. Thats their choice. Its not going to change

You get maybe 2 where you live and 1 where you use to live.
correct. Right now its Decades and Movies! At night I do get more because of being able to grab Minneapolis but come fall that will change (colder weather kills distant reception)

Get, Grit, Escape, Bounce, is better than nothing.
If those are the 4 options, I'd take none (again my opinion. I am not a movie person so Get and Grit are useless to me) ;)

I am just saying that with Sinclair, Quincy, Raycom, and Gannett they offer more.
Quincy is very small compared to the other 3 so they can make choices quicker. They mainly partner with CW and mainly partner with a Weigel Net (just one of them)
Gannett (now called Tegna) partners with Justice Network. While it is a ok channel. the repetition is crazy. They have a loop of programming and it changes daily. But the same shows are on all week. So as example Alaska State Troopers is on at 1a, 7a, 1p and 7p daily. What is on at 1am Monday is on at 7am Tuesday, 1PM Wednesday and well you get the point. I guess its better than when they started. They did the "Decades" route. 6 hour loop.

The worst that can happen is NEXSTAR gobble up Sinclair and all the sinclair stations lose their diginets. .
never would happen. Too many markets would have duopolies (one station owning more than one of the Big 4) and the FCC is getting rid of duopolies
 
Forgot a GREAT one is E.W. Scripps.....However Raycom's WBXH 39, its grit dt3 and its escape dt2 are showing up on my cox cable line up on HD 1016 and digital channels 128 and 129......That's interesting just a grid bar and no picture...

Would be nice if this would unfold in Duluth
KQDS Fox 21 is owned by Red River Broadcasting and they own a tv station that has COZI.....Well they could launch it on 21.2
KLDH 3.1 will be CW and Quincy is done it could add at least Movies! and Decades
WDIO 10 has MeTV and just throw the H&I.
The NBC KBJR xmitter will have NBC, MNTV, CBS. IDK what you could do there maybe Justice...
Then there is Channel 27, drop the AMGTV and add the rest (Get, Grit, Escape, Laff, Antenna, This, Buzzr) then your set up....
 
I;m going to be blunt. To quote the Trailer Park Boys "How f**king drunkk are you?"
You can barely keep tabs on your own market. So lets not try to figure out how "you'd" run my old market

wont happen. RRB wont add subchannels. Simple as that. I've spoken with them when I lived there. They wont add anything.
KLDH 3.1 will be CW and Quincy is done it could add at least Movies! and Decades
Quincy wont own them. So they have no say on what KDLH will (or wont) add
WDIO 10 has MeTV and just throw the H&I.
Hubbard only does one sub everywhere but the Minneapolis Independent. Me in Duluth and the NY station, This is Rochester, MN and New Mexico stations
The NBC KBJR xmitter will have NBC, MNTV, CBS. IDK what you could do there maybe Justice...
2 HD and a SD is pretty much the max.
Then there is Channel 27, drop the AMGTV and add the rest
27 is off the air. They are supposedly putting up a new tower but its been a while. And Flinn (from Memphis) mainly has AMG or The Walk. So doubt they;d stick anymore money into it.

Seriously I'm real close to putting you on ignore (I wont see your posts then) because lately you've gone way off the deep end.
 
Oh no thanks you can delete my account off here. You gonna get all bent outta shape expecting me to watch some queer ass video acting like that that.

Yes I am really apologentic for alot of the posts I wrote and I wish I could get rid of it. However I was not trying to run your market I just put down that it would be nice in bold. Thats fine Snowman, I'll stay off here as much as I can. Since you control this board send my account in the garbage. I do believe I can manage with the very, very, lil bit of knowledge I have on an antenna.
 
Nevermind I'll stick around. Since I do not have the knowledge or TIME to spend on antenna, dma markets, and 8 bays, I may need your help or anyone's down the road.
Again if there is a way to delete my STUPID Posts please do. Thanks
