A duplicate of Sounds of the Season has replaced 801 Big Band, Sounds of the Season Ultra has replaced Classic Rock Ultra

Santa Tracker test channel moved to 188 to avoid a conflict with the MAX app that's on channel 190 for Geminis.

(Columbus OH, Indianapolis, Norfolk, Orlando, Salt Lake City, San Antonio and Tampa also have INFO channels)

WMYD Detroit is now CW

5 extra part time feeds are now on D11 using up the space that was vacated by the recent rebalancing

Weekly Analysis for 11/15/2023:

 

[PioneerDJ]

5 extra part time feeds are now on D11 using up the space that was vacated by the recent rebalancing

This would increase the chance of seeing more Coyotes, Flyers, Golden Knights, Sixers, Suns, and Canadien feeds on the respective league out of market packages?

 

[DirecTVFanSince2016]

yep!

 

[PioneerDJ]

question now for this busy college football and sports Saturday which feeds they will air on Center Ice:
1 PM ET: Golden Knights at Flyers
7 PM ET: Coyotes at Jets
All while ESPN+ Business has 7 CFB games, one UFC fight night card (2 PM ET start because of F1 Race in Las Vegas), multiple college sports all day and night
12 PM ET: one CFB game on BTN Alt 610-1

 

[KyL416]

Speaking of the Coyotes, Scripps will be moving Phoenix's CW affiliation to their Antenna TV subchannel next week and KASW/61 will rebrand to Arizona 61 and be the new home of the Coyotes.

 

[PioneerDJ]

1 PM ET: Golden Knights at Flyers
7 PM ET: Coyotes at Jets

Looks like it’s only Scripps feeds for both Golden Knights on 773 and Coyotes on 781 this Saturday

 

[KyL416]

Santa Tracker test channel moved to 188 to avoid a conflict with the MAX app that's on channel 190 for Geminis.

The Santa Tracker/Holiday Countdown is now live on channel 188

 

[KyL416]

The INFO channels on 683-686 for SportsNet Rocky Mountain and Bally Arizona have been removed.

Speaking of the Coyotes, Scripps will be moving Phoenix's CW affiliation to their Antenna TV subchannel next week and KASW/61 will rebrand to Arizona 61 and be the new home of the Coyotes.

Weekly Analysis for 11/22/2023:

 

[KyL416]

In addition to the previously mentioned changes over the week involving the Santa Tracker, KASW Phoenix, the removal of the Rocky Mountain and Arizona INFO channels and CINE 175 going live again after it was repurposed for the Suns slate on 9757:

4 additional part time feeds were added

769 has been changed to an additional League Pass channel

9758 Protection Plan has been replaced by 9755 *DEAL (Showtime for $1.99)
9756 Jazz INFO has been replaced by a Ku Offline "Ready to Test" placeholder

MCBB also replaced by Sounds of the Season for Puerto Rico

 

[DirecTVFanSince2016]

Also, KNSN Reno is now reflected as Independent instead of MyNetworkTV. I cannot find anything on them dropping the network though.

 

[KyL416]

They didn't. They still air MNT between 12am-2am local time.

 

[DirecTVFanSince2016]

ah, I guess MNT's website isn't true then:

MARKET	STATION	TIMES

Reno

KNSN - 21

M – F 8/7c and 9/8c

 

[Mr Tony]

ah, I guess MNT's website isn't true then:

MARKET	STATION	TIMES

Reno

KNSN - 21

M – F 8/7c and 9/8c

That site is outdated and wrong.
Minneapolis hasn’t had it in the normal time (7-9 m-f) for 4 or 5 years. They have it late night.
Mankato does not have My Network. There was no KEYC-DT4 until earlier this year and it’s a 24/7 weather channel.

I see other errors on that too.

 

[PioneerDJ]

4 additional part time feeds were added

One can hope that DTV Business will have a distribution deal with EverPass for Peacock Sports Pass events in time for the first of the 2 NFL on Peacock exclusives
