I typed up this spreadsheet at Google Sheet over at Google Sheets of all the Weigel Broadcasting networks (including MeTV, MeTV Toons H&I, Movies!, etc.) and where to to find them in your broadcast market: View...

In spring 2025, MeTV Toons is going to get a dose of "turtle power," when they start airing the classic Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon series, which ran from 1987 to 1996, starting in syndication, before moving to Saturday mornings on CBS during the cartoon's regular run... We get to see...

I decided I didn't need cable TV when I moved out of my foster parents' house. I hope this does not become true. More and more people have ditched cable in favor of OTA or streaming. I just hope the FCC rethinks their strategies for the ATSC 3.0 standard, until then, I'll stick to ATSC 1.0...

The channel's only three months old (as of September 27, 2024), and it was great that the new channel's launch coincided with the launch of Weigel Broadcasting's owned and operated MeTV station WMEI, channel 31 in Green Bay, Wisconsin in June 2024. Green Bay, despite being home to the Packers...

I'm a fan of cartoons myself, having watched different kinds cartoons since I was only four years old as a form of escapism from the doldrums of everyday life. I'm glad there's another option for cartoons besides watching free streaming services, buying and watching/binge-watching DVD/blu-ray...

The channel is nearly three months old, having launched last Summer. It's too early in the game to tell if the new network succeeded or not. Most of the cartoons are aimed towards Generation X and Millennial viewers who watched those same exact cartoons as kids.

On September 10, 2024, WJMN-TV 3 "Local 3" and WBUP 10 "ABC 10," owned by Morgan Murphy Media, have joined forces to bring local news to people across Michigan's Upper Peninsula, relaunching as "My UP" using WJMN-TV 3's assets and news team from Marquette along with a graphics transformation...

In six days, WGN-TV 9 reunites with The CW...

The CW, now majority-owned by Nexstar, is trying to be America's new "5th network," with their shift in focus away from the general entertainment format they had since their days as The WB and UPN affiliates towards sports (including WNBA games) and news programming...it's quite similar to how...

Ever since The CW was purchased by Nexstar, their focus has shifted from general entertainment, and now they're trying to be America's "fifth network," trying to compete with NBC, CBS, ABC and Fox for viewers...

Another Scripps-owned CW affiliate, KWBA 58, is also switching to independent status, with KTTU 18 becoming Tucson, Arizona's new home for The CW, with MyNetworkTV moving to 18.2, shuffling the order of subchannels on that TV station...

Both those stations (WMYD 20 and WSFL-TV 39) who disaffiliated from The CW are owned by Scripps Broadcasting. Scripps Broadcasting's breakup with The CW is causing a big ripple effect from coast to coast in the United States, causing The CW to look for new affiliates...

I just found that out. It'll make that station into the only CBS-owned CW affiliate, now that the majority of the for CW affiliates switched to independent status. I'm surprised none of the low-powered stations wanted to affiliate with The CW...as far as I know, CBS, and now Scripps, wanted...

I made a spreadsheet/pie chart consisting of all the shows that air om MeTV Toons:
