Re: WJRT 12.3

Yes, it's been that way for weeks if not months.
What is comic is that their very own program listings show what's supposed to be on there--as does the Info bar on my TV.

Why does it take so long for a new channel to actually show programming? Example: the “new” 12.3 channel.
Both my tvs' channel guides show The Grio's channel line-up for 12.3, with the same "Coming Soon" on-screen.

This is basically 24/7 MyNetworkTV. Slop that's already airing as part of many local stations' syndicated lineup
To be fair, MyNetwork is former first-run TV drama, mainly cop shows. ThisTv is sub-bargain bin reality.

Re: RIP 1470

Listen to the old Have Gun Will Travel radio show from the late 50's on CD on long drives.
At the end of one of them they welcome new station WKMF 1470 to their line up.
Where does the time go?

Different tastes perhaps, but more variety in OTA is a cable killer, and I'm all for that.
