62.5 = Story

It happened recently and I noticed it Sunday while channel surfing.

I noticed it last night. Just like 62.4, 62.5 doesn't broadcast any program information so I'm not sure what this programming is.

I get it on the Frndly TV app. It's a documentary channel, with different nights focusing on different kinds of subjects, like biography, history, science, etc.

Just noticed it too when I had to rescan an older TV. Wish WWJ would fix their guide data on the OTA streams!!

From the wiki for Story Television:

Each day of the week has a different theme.

Monday: Military and Combat
Tuesday: Tech and Innovation
Wednesday: World Events
Thursday: American History
Friday: Modern Marvels
Saturday: Unexplained Phenomena
Sunday: Biography

The channel rebroadcasts programming that originally aired on cable networks such as A&E and History Channel

The funny part of that is that they are already carrying it.

Unless they negotiated some type of waiver (which would be extremely hard to do) they're required to carry all the bits of the broadcast channel, which would include the subchannels. To make it available to subscribers all they'd have to do is pick a channel number for it to show up and modify the transport stream to identify it (just a config setting).

I've watched this channel several times in the last week. Some pretty good shows.

Quest is still around, and seen in Detroit as a sub of WADL.

Does Comcast have all of the channel 4 subchannels?
Where are they located; I can't find them.

The only one they don't carry - unfortunately, IMO - is Cozi.

Does ComCast carry MeTV? I want to watch Hogans Heroes on a larger screen than the one I got now.

Yes, they do.
Morgan Wallen is a piece of garbage.
