ThisTV gone in Des Moines, IA

[Mr Tony]

As of this past Monday This TV is gone from KDMI 19-1 Des Moines, IA. Yes it was on the -1 station.
Station was sold to TCT Broadcasting (Dove Broadcasting) and has switched to TCT programming

Hate to hear that. Its been a week in Tulsa and I miss it. Griffin is just ignoring everyone that inquires about it or deleting their posts on the website.

Whats interesting is under Pappas ownership they had cross promoted the channel on their co-owned CW23 (KCWI). So you had
RF23
19-1 ThisTV
23-1 CW

RF19
19-2 ThisTV
23-2 CW

I remember last year picking up both stations via tropo dx and it was weird seeing that.

Pappas sold 23 to Nexstar as part of their bankruptcy (but are now suing because Pappas feels the price set was too low) and 19 to TCT now. So Nexstar/Pappas whoever is still in control of 23 could put This as a sub.....but apparently doesnt want to.

Actually the KCWI-Nexstar deal was consummated on Monday.
