New sports channel (untamed sports) on C-Band

[Mr Tony]

Since the channel is on thelist I can post here

One of the former Equity stations changed affiliates. KWWF (Waterloo, IA) is now Untamed Sports.
Untamed Sports | Come With US

They have lots of outdoor hunting/fishing shows....Looks kinda like Sportsman Network (that we had on 121 until they went HD and scrambled)

Also sounds like the OTA version is back for the Waterloo/Cedar Rapids area

KWWF/22 (Waterloo) returned to the air July 20 and is carrying Untamed Sports TV. The station had left the air last June 12 because its former owner, Equity Broadcasting, went bankrupt and couldn't afford to convert the station to digital. It's now owned by Waterloo TV Licenses and is broadcasting with a special temporary authority for 18.7kW/330m from the KPXR-TV/48 (Cedar Rapids) tower near Urbana. Waterloo TV Licenses is a partnership of Fusion Communications of Davenport and PLLW-LLC of Miami, which is owned by Paul Libovitz. Fusion Communications is owned by Jeff Lyle and David McAnally of Davenport. The companies own stations in about a half-dozen markets outside the Upper Midwest.

Its not too bad. We get it OTA on a sub-channel. I turn it on in the office sometimes for background noise during the day instead of the judge and talk-o-rama stuff. Old hunting, fishing, boating outdoors type stuff. Some motor racing too.

It's too bad, it's not on KU band. Same goes for lame duck Albuquerque's TV market #44 with bunch of our local stations that is too lazy add a new subchannels like Untamed Sports and same goes for RTV "So called KRTN-LD":rant:

Oh well, can't have everything that you want.

The Fusion mux has changed SR's. It's now at 3920 H 27671.
It doesn't look like they added any channels though. Maybe they just increased the channel bit rates.
