The CRTC is strict, I don't think that CBET (or any Canadian station for that matter) can target more than 20% of its advertising to non-Canadian areas. And all Canadian stations and cable channels (yes, they control cable TV over there!) have to air Canadian programming on 60% of their schedule, s...

Cable 13 in Palm Springs is NBC affiliate KMIR, which uses its analog channel, 36.x, as its PSIP, and actually broadcasts on channel 26:

WNMT-CD makes CBET (CBC Windsor) and CHWI (CTV2 Windsor) look like superstations in comparison... just from picture quality alone! Considering WMNT's rap sheet, it makes even small-market network affiliates like superstations. The stations have the "branding channel" rights to any number, PSIP. PSI...

According to TitanTV, this Saturday night October 19, WDIV will Join "JURASSIC WORLD" in progress at 9:00 PM after an infomercial and repeat episode of "Wheel of Fortune" at 8:00 and 8:30 PM. You'd think they'd remove WoF and the infomercial in favor of the movie. Strange. Did they mean to schedule...

My friend in Sterling Heights, also with Comcast as am I, called me one afternoon complaining about the same thing, ironically as I was watching TCM. He called Comcast and apparently TCM is now bundled with a sports tier costing extra, which I have. This makes absolutely no sense, especially as the...

What amazed me about WMNT-CA in its analog days was their nightly airing of "Make Room for Daddy"/"Danny Thomas Show" -unedited, complete with cigarette commercials! In the 21st century! (American Tobacco Company was at least a sponsor if they didn't produce and deliver the program outright). This ...

Did anyone notice WMNT was sited for not logging children's programming? FCC says the need to cough up $13,000. Sounds like they made excuses for not filing mandatory paperwork. Also, public file on their website is not clickable. Actually, the WMNT part of their My Network TV framed website is mis...

Must-carry even applies to low power stations. Which is probably why you see more of them popping up as network affiliates. ...which is the only way LPTVs can be must-carry. When we lived in the Tampa Bay area until last year, the market had several LPTVs, but only the Spanish-language channels (su...

Considering the source, Blackburn Radio, maybe it's a sneaky way to get its Canadian listeners to listen to Canadian radio, while posing American stations as those with inept engineering. He also declined to mention any specific source, other than an FM station in Detroit. And as mentioned above, au...

A man in the southwestern Ontario town of Amherstburg noticed problems of electronics in automobiles in his town malfunctioning. He now suspects that a Detroit FM station may be behind it: https://blackburnnews.com/windsor/windsor-news/2019/10/10/fm-radio-station-behind-amherstburgs-dead-zone/?fbcli...

Took them 23 years to finally realize that the Cable Reform Act of 1996 exists... I'm not 100% sure whether the act you're mentioning applies to PBS members and other noncommercial stations I don't believe it does -- it mainly applies to commercial stations -- network affiliates, in particular.

Just within the past week, WFLA here in Tampa has removed Me TV and replaced it with Court TV.

...with MeTV moving to WMOR, replacing This TV after about ten years on WMOR.

Meanwhile, B100's side of the story, which was posted on Facebook, disappeared from Facebook.

If I ready the Sandusky lineup correctly, they don’t even offer channel 62. Isn’t Sandusky in the Detroit market? Isn’t that must carry?

Sanilac County is in the Detroit market, so I imagine they would be obligated to carry all major channels serving that market.

So what was your favorite seat?

I usually stand with the hundreds of thousands of kids who didn't make it early enough to get a seat. That or I sit on the hard concrete floor next to the TV camera.
