I noticed, earlier today, that KSMO-TV Ch. 62 in Kansas City, MO has added Cozi TV to Ch 62.4 & Circle to 62.5. So far, what I have noticed is that the Cozi TV feed appears to be the raw feed, as it doesn't have any local commercials, also, around 11am, when I turned to Circle, on Ch. 62.5, the picture was pixelating. When I tuned back in to Circle around 1:30pm, they had fixed that problem. Also, so far, they have yet to get the EPG working on both channels. I wonder what will happen to Cozi TV on KSHB-TV Ch. 41.2?

I checked the TV just now & noticed that KMCI-TV is now carrying CourtTV on Ch. 38.4 (Was previously Grit.) & KSHB-TV is now carring Grit on Ch. 41.2. (Was Cozi TV.). This change happened sometime between 1:30pm & 5:30pm. WDAF-TV Ch. 4 is still carrying CourtTV on Ch. 4.3.

I checked the bitrate of KSMO-TV's channels (In TSReader Lite.) & 62.1 is running at about 8.5-9Mbps, 62.2 & 62.3 are running at about 2.20-2.40Mbps & 62.4 & 62.5 are running at about 1.40-2Mbps.

Also, acording to Zap2It, KCTV is supposed to be carrying Quest on Ch. 5.4, but it isn't on the air yet.
 
Quest is also on KCMN so maybe Movies or Stadium or Charge replaces 4.3,H and I KMBC or KCWE picks up. Decades or Start TV KCTV5 picks up.
 
Is anyone beside me tired of Court TV? The smart programming guys for the Kansas City Market now are broadcasting the identical feed on WDAF-4.3 and on KMCI 38.4. You would think the money would be in providing an additional income stream by picking up a DIFFERENT channel. I mean I get Antenna airing some episodes of a show, and ME tv different episodes, but why the identical live feed? There are still some good digitals out there that are not on Kansas City full power stations. I hope the powers that be suddenly wake up and recognize their nonsense...

As long as the check clears, I doubt either WDAF or KMCI cares what's running as long as it doesn't get them fined by the FCC.

We have this same problem here in Albuquerque's TV market. We got 3 H&I and 3 Movies! and 3 Antenna TV networks.

It's a mess over here...
 
Also have Court TV Mysteries on 38.3. Justice Network KCWE. Maybe WDAF will replace it with another channel that another Nexstar station has. Good for Antenna/Google Fiber/Mediacom. H and I/Decades have a national feed and that's good to.
