[KyL416]

They're testing "PRDTRS" and "CLIPPERS" channels on the streaming server

 

[KyL416]

Stars -> Victory+ with simulcasts on KDFI

The Stars are now rumored to be leaving Victory+ for Prime Video, hopefully this also means a channel will be coming similar to what they have for the Kraken who stream locally on Prime.

The Minnesota Lynx will likely need to find a new home next season too.

 

[b4pjoe]

Is there any channel info on the St. Louis ABC local that switches from Sinclair to Gray Media tomorrow? Like what channel will it be on tomorrow on DIRECTV?

 

[KyL416]

Nothing is testing on the stream server, so it might end up replacing KDNL

Nothing is testing on the stream server, so it might end up replacing KDNL

I guess I will find out tomorrow.

 

[b4pjoe]

For what it is worth...not much, Google AI says this about it:

"Even though the over-the-air broadcast is shifting from Sinclair's KDNL to Gray Media's KMOV digital subchannel (over-the-air channel 32.1 / 4.2), major satellite and cable providers retain the traditional, familiar major network channel slotting for their local guides."

 

[KyL416]

That AI response is full of errors. 4.2 is still going to be KMOV's Weather channel. ABC is going to be on 32.1 via KMOV's RF 24 signal and 32.10 via KDTL-LD's RF 17 signal. Matrix Midwest/MyNet moved to 32.2 in SD via KMOV's signal and 32.3 in HD via KDTL-LD's signal and is keeping its channel 6 position on Spectrum. No cable or sat positions for ABC have officially been announced.

KDNL is going independent and keeping all of its existing syndicated programming, including Live with Kelly & Mark and Tamron Hall

 

[KyL416]

The stream for KDNL switched to Gray's ABC station at around 4:06am CT.

The stream for KDNL switched to Gray's ABC station at around 4:06am CT.

Yes ABC is still on channel 30. Right now they are running the exact same feed of news and weather as KMOV. The guide is not updated yet.

 

[b4pjoe]

KMOV released this info today. The article below states "DIRECTV & AT&T U-verse: Channel designations are currently TBD" however as mentioned previously it is on Channel 30 this morning. And whatever KDNL is broadcasting now is not on my DIRECTV receiver anywhere.
