Re: WUDT 23

WUDT is useless religious garbage. The channel should be taken off the air if they can’t stop interfering with other more useful channels.

Newsy is up on WPXD (31-7)

Playing a loop saying it will commence programming on October 4.

Re: 20 may dump AntTV; Rewind TV launching

Defy TV is going to make a big dent in other diginets viewership. It’s going to be a lot of History Channel programming brought out into “OTA land”.

Smart move by Scripps.

Antenna and Rewind will find a home eventually, just not a preferable one.

Re: WNEM up for sale?

Scripps should buy WNEM, then Sinclair should be forced to sell one their stations to INYO. Then u all will get a lot more diginets and a lot better TV all around.

Re: WNEM up for sale?

The difference between the Detroit and Flint DMA’s are amazing to me. In the Detroit one I literally have a nearly 50 channel basic cable system off my antennas, versus up there OTA is nearly useless. Most of the problem is due to Sinclair. Detroit DMA is Sinclair free, thank God.

Re: Scripps To Offer Newsy As Free, OTA Network

A news channel will be much more valuable to Scripps as an OTA than on cable or satellite only. It’s all about increasing advertising revenue. OTA is looking better day by day, especially with the hefty price hikes on Dish, DirectTV and Comcast.

Re: WDET / New Transmitter/ Jesus Christ Superstar

WGTE and WEMU are better NPR’s anyway.

I love WRCJ’s Jazz at night as well.

Re: Changes probably coming soon at WPXD (ION).

I personally think we should have a 24-hour weather subchannel again. I remember when 4 and 7 had theirs... they came in pretty handy during severe weather. Someone higher up at either 2, 4, or 7 should think about starting one up again. Hell, I still miss Weatherscan on Comcast... I thought I was ...

Re: Detroit annoyance list

WTVS main channel.

If I see another made for PBS infomercial on some sort of quack stuff I am gonna vomit.

Also, drop the damn kids channel to 480i. It’s a waste of bandwidth at 1080i.

Electronic babysitting doesn’t need to be 1080i. You can use overcompressed 480i for it.

Re: Paying for Viewers

I spend quite a bit of time in your DMA each week. I certainly won’t be watching. $6600 is not enough for the mind numbing torture of watching a Sinclair channel.

I just watch stuff on Dish up there anyway.

Re: Channel 26

I miss getting channel 9 via my antenna. Why can't you get it? I miss it as well! I could never get it out here in Farmington Hills. I could always get it in Warren I’m near Ypsilanti. I use a stellar labs 30-2476 aimed at McGregor to get it. Comes in fairly reliably. Only interrupted in summers du...

Re: Changes probably coming soon at WPXD (ION).

Qubo served a great purpose once upon a time, but with PBS Kids now offering similar programming in crystal clear HD, it really is no longer needed. Ion Plus is garbage; Shop Ion is nonstop infomercials. Neither will be missed. I have constantly tried to get WGTE’s main channel, but it’s just too w...

Re: Changes probably coming soon at WPXD (ION).

"Ion Plus, Qubo and Shop Ion, which had been airing on multicast channels, effective Feb. 28." Not sure I'm going to miss anything there. Was there anything watchable on Ion Plus? "so it could stop paying stations to broadcast the Katz Network, which are Bounce, Court TV, Court TV Mystery, Grit and...

Changes probably coming soon at WPXD (ION).

I would assume WPXD will do the same as an ION affiliate.

Re: WNEM up for sale?

Would not surprise me if Scripps buys it. It then could run ION and the Katz subchannels.
