ABC to discontinue Live Well in January

[Mr Tony]

ABC will discontinue its homegrown digi-net Live Well Network in mid-January. Focused on food, fashion and travel, Live Well was viewed as an example of what broadcasters could pull off in the multicast space, with original programming and partner stations both within the ABC owned group and outside of it. But the numbers were not working for ABC.

I wonder why, I only found 1 program that I DVRed and maybe 1 or 2 others that deserved passing interest.

Hopefully our scripps channel makes a good choice in its replacement, cause I never watched what little programming LWN had and only tuned to it if KJRH moved main programming over to the subchannel during weather events. MOVIES!, Cozi, AntennaTv would be good. We already have MeTv, RTV, ThisTV, GetTv and ZUUS

Oh, thank goodness! LWN was/is worthless! I hope out local Scripps also replaces it with something worth while!

Apparently, there's an FCC rule that these sub-channel/indie networks' names end with "TV".

I hope my ABC affiliate (also owned by Scripps) doesn't replace it with another subchannel because the HD PQ on 7.1 ABC is already too soft with 3 subchannels. Drop it to 2 subchannels (ABC and Bounce) to improve ABC's PQ
