The current joke is that if your kid is studying CRT, congratulations. The only place it's being taught is in grad school or law school, where nearly all students are old enough to vote; presumably they're old enough to discern for themselves. It's one tool to understand why some laws are made. With...

I'm thinking ONE of them will be Rewind TV, which is beginning service on 9/1. https://rewindtv.com/ The other one may be ThisTv: https://thistv.com/

Commercial-laden, no doubt, like the others, but I like the fact of more free alternatives in an area where people are trying to get by on less.

They already carry these Katz network offerings: Bounce TV - A digital broadcast network which specializes in programming for the black community. Court TV Mystery - A digital broadcast network which specializes in programming for women, featuring series and films focusing on mystery and true crime ...

You mean LOCAL news. Given that the market extends to Alpena, there's no "local" anymore.
And since Lapeer and Owosso are in different markets, we're more likely to get stories from 100 miles away instead of 15.
Unless they involve cannibalism.

Then there are those of us who just read the local newspaper

I do, and I subscribe, in hopes of the days when MLive's local edition has a larger staff than my old high school newspaper.

All three stations have the chiefs on. I’ve been mainly watching 25/66 because Ahmad is the best met in the market IMO. I’ve been impressed with Leslie and Ron too. They have been going non stop for hours.

Believe they were the first to call the tornado touchdown in SW Genesee County.

I was surprised to learn WAQP is actually commercial

Heavily. By day it's the Car Shield station; late at night, lots of leaky prostate and burial insurance ads.

Reality TV shows, but to each his own. WAQP 49 now has more channels than we had in total in 1970.
Down cable, up broadcast!

"Brandigration" -- a new word straight from the Pit of Hell.

Is this coming from the newer facility near I-75 and Farrand Rd. (1 mile North of M-57)? Where are you located approximately? Genesee Township just east of Flint. So what's the signal indicator reading compared to the full power stations? Don't have a strength indicator in my menu. It's pretty iffy...

Dunno about GetTV. It looks like that old movie network with about three movies in the line up. GetTV is Sony's classic hits and movies channel, not unlike MeTV or Antenna TV: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GetTV [/quote] I know, and it's not bad. But this is the old movie station 24 had before-- MM...

Genesee Township just east of Flint.

Or I just did a rescan and it popped up. The alleged line-up: 24-1 35.1 NTD America 24-2 35.2 Twist 24-3 35.3 Infomercials 24-4 35.4 GetTV 24-5 35.5 Infomercials NTD America is programming from Falun Gong. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Tang_Dynasty_Television Twist looks a little like PBS Create...

The first reference I've seen toward markets was around 1970. The markets were nearly the same as they are now, with some exceptions
Putting Huron and Sanilac counties in the Detroit market made no sense then, and even less now.

When were those market counties designated? 1960?
