Weekly Analysis for 9/17/2025:

 

[KyL416]

Prep for another TPN swap

NHL Center Ice prep

WSRE/23 Pensacola and KSMN/20 Worthington MN have been dropped. Neither station is blaming DTV, it looks like WSRE forgot to file their must carry statement, while KSMN never re-established their fiber link to the Sioux Falls receive facility

An INFO channel on 322.1 that's only visible to SD receivers about FETV's SD feed going away soon

New logos for the HBO and Cinemax rebrands

In the case of WSRE this might be one of the reasons- they're giving up their PBS Affiliation and it sounds like they're in trouble overall: Pensacola State cuts WSRE's PBS affiliation; Trustee questions president's DEI practices

9527 PrimeNYY is now 9549 PRIMEALT - Prime Video Sports Alt, the NFLST Auth slide moved to 9548

No more Yankees regional games on Prime for the rest of the season… so now most likely NBA as they will need 2 channels each doubleheader night including NFL/NBA on Black Friday

 

[Mr Tony]

WHOI/19 Peoria is now testing, Sinclair recently traded it to Gray, right now it's still carrying Sinclair's ROAR, however it's listed as MNT, which currently airs overnight on their sister station WEEK-D2

Gray is rebranding it to a general/sports channel like they've done in other markets

WEEK-TV announces a new channel, more options for sports, entertainment and local news

WEEK-TV 25News will soon launch a new channel for viewers in Central Illinois.

I'm not getting any of those channels.

 

[KyL416]

Only the Gemini and Netflix offers are currently live, along with an existing sports pack offer on 9757. The rest were still in test mode and ku offline as of yesterday morning.

9757 GIFT is a targetted 6 Months of DIRECTV Sports Pack - On Us!

9758 GEMINI is a targetted Gemini $0 upgrade offer

9759 NETFLX is just to tell customers they can be billed through their DTV account instead of Netflix directly. There's no discount, and the only option is the $24.99 premium plan. If someone doesn't have a 4K HDR TV or an ATMOS capable sound system, and don't have more than 2 people watching at the same time, there's no reason to get anything beyond the $17.99 Standard plan. And if all they care about is WWE, they might as well stick to $7.99 ad plan as even with the "ad free" plans they still interrupt Raw with commercial breaks for US viewers, while international viewers get every show ad free with uninterrupted matches and extra backstage interviews.
