[Mgsports]

Charge and next hope KC gets it on FOX4KC.

 

[Radar1978]

Yes Charge is on Channel 38.4, WSBK in Boston.

Edited thread title to be comprehensible. Really, Mgsports, can you not write anything that is comprehensible?

[Mgsports]

Yes I will and this should have gone in Digital Sub Channel discussion.

Could you elaborate?

 

[Mgsports]

I was letting people know Boston got it. Lots of other Tribune's have Charge but Fox4kc not.

Could you elaborate?

Charge! Will not launch on WADF when Nexstar takes over that Station from Tribune.

I'm sure you meant WDAF.

Charge! is a Sinclair property but WSBK is a CBS-owned station so is it not possible that a Nexstar or Tribune channel might carry it?

The distribution of channels in the KC market is really funky. Rabbitears.info says their ABC is 1080i.

I think it is 1080i. Only Fox still uses 720p, correct?

In Kansas City's market, nearly all of our .1 channels are high bitrate (over 10 Mb/s) which gives us an excellent picture.

 

[Trip]

ABC, Fox, My Network TV, and ION use 720p. CBS, NBC, PBS, and CW use 1080i (except that CW+, in smaller markets, is fed in 720p).

Hearst's ABC stations are converted to 1080i, for whatever reason.

Yep, Here in Albuquerque's TV market we have KOAT-DT converts from 720p to 1080i probably due due local news cameras in 1080i and 1080i satellite non ABC Network feeds.

Must be certain trades off on video format and quality.

 

[N5XZS]

Btw, KOAT-DT is Hearst owned and operated.

 

[comfortably_numb]

I hadn't thought of that as a possible reason. Makes sense, though.

 

[harshness]

I think it is 1080i. Only Fox still uses 720p, correct?

All of the Disney properties are still 720p. These inlcude (but are not limited to) ABC, ESPNs, Disneys, Big Ten and SEC.

I suspect that it has more to do with the state of compression and multiplexing art concentrating on 1080i.

 

[Mgsports]

Yes but WDAF Fox4kc has TBD that's on Sinclair stations. None of Nexstar stations have Antenna TV and This TV that's also KCKS-LD. Hearst and Meredith Stations only have one Sub Channel at moment.

 

[harshness]

Yes but WDAF Fox4kc has TBD that's on Sinclair stations.

TBD is a Sinclair property so it isn't surprising that it is on Sinclair stations.

Some stations have recognized that quality counts for something and having 13 channels on a single carrier is perhaps a waste of energy.

Until DTV is replaced, more subchannels is not better. Getting wadded up over what you don't have is also a losing proposition.

 

[ejb1980]

Big Ten Network is not a Disney channel - it is a Fox channel. Still 720p, but not Disney.
