Weekly Analysis for 7/01/2026:

 

[KyL416]

The Scripps FOX affiliates are now pointing to a World Cup specific slate repurposing Dispute Slide 1 Test 9109 telling them that the matches are still available via FOXSports.com or Telemundo.

Prep for some more TPN swaps

NBCS4 and NBCS5 are now live, NBCS4 will have coverage of the Tour de France

Targetted Offers:
9753 Apple is now live
9755 SPORTS has been removed

 

[Former member 209992]

matches are still available via FOXSports.com

unless something has changed since, they might be lying, since I remember trying to watch a Euro match 2 years ago through the FOX Sports app and it said "WNAC-DT is no longer available" (even though I was actually in Virginia, not Rhode Island)

 

[KyL416]

The 900s will return for The Open Championship on 7/16-7/19

Weekly Analysis for 7/8/2026:

 

[KyL416]

They finally updated the callsign for KWHY/63 Los Angeles, 16 months later

CINE 182 returned

Targetted Offers now live:
9751 Rent a Movie on Us!

[KyL416]

The 900s will return for The Open Championship on 7/16-7/19

They're now in the guide, along with duplicates in the 205s

 

[Former member 209992]

Seeing them. In fact one of the channels currently has a title that doesn't look like something we're supposed to see: "Upcoming: Golf Special Event USA vc 903" on 903 (the duplicate on 205-3 just says TBA)
They also still haven't removed the College Mix on 205-1, so there's two 205-1's, that and a duplicate of 901

 

[KyL416]

The Scripps dispute is over, during the dispute WNPX/28 Nashville rebranded from Ion to The Spot. WSFL/39 Miami, WHDT/59 West Palm Beach and WMYD/20 Detroit also switched to The Spot branding in June.

Also, they always remove 205-1 CMX a few days before the sports expierence mix on 205-1 is scheduled to go live, and then bring it back a few days later.
