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...

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

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...

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.

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.

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...

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.

CBSN Sacramento launched today... https://tvnewscheck.com/top-news/journalism/article/cbs-launches-cbsn-sacramento/

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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.

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.
