More classic tv coming to Minneapolis :)

My local, WGRZ 2-2 leaves the bug on and only turns it off for some, but not all commercials.

The way WGRZ does it wouldnt bother me much...WJW-TV in Cleveland doesnt have the bug at all I dont think..Checking it right now during Gidget-No bug..

oh I meant an "Antenna TV" bug in the bottom right corner

I already mentioned they put an ID up about 20 seconds into the 1/2 hour.......even if its an hour show...for like 7-10 seconds

 

[Mr Tony]

Another good thing

No cut out of the ending with "coming up next...." and no voice over. The ending credits play...then they talk about the next show
you know...when they split screen during the credits with a goofy commercial for some other show...they dont do that

My affiliate just has the call sign in the top left, no bug in the bottom right.

 

[Mr Tony]

The ID on ours shows up for about 8-10 seconds
Also they put it in 480 widescreen so there are black bars on the sides...but they all dont look like short fat people

[Mr Tony]

supposedly crapcast was going to have AntennaTV be in the spot where ThisTV was...since I dont have them I dont know the channel number
What is showing on what was the rewind channel (when they had the replays of news and stuff)?

Hate that! : It could drive me to violence.

 

[Mr Tony]

well we've had this channel for 2 weeks now and I've watched more on AntennaTV than most other channels

 

[Tron]

Antenna is great, right up there with MeTV but different. Always something good on between these two!

 

[Mr Tony]

yup

 

[Mr Tony]

Well 5-7 is now Live Well.....changed sometime this afternoon

 

[Panavision]

Did Live Well take the place of the slate?

 

[Mr Tony]

yes

this afternoon it was the slate...about 5:45 I flipped through and saw real programming on it and the guide is also right (at least on the TV and converter box)

Is this the same channel that is on 99W C-band?

 

[Mr Tony]

yes

Thought it had to be but just thought I would ask. I wish we got more OTA here, but in the boonies here(well sorta but not really), you would just have to visit to see what I mean. Here is what 'they' call 2 hours from everywhere. 2 hours to the East is Asheville, NC. Two hours to the West is Chattanooga, TN. Two hours North is (well sorta NW) Knoxville, TN. Two hours South is Atlanta, GA (well more like 1:30). There are not TV stations here, all in or around those cities. They are all between 100-150 miles away.
