Re: Trans People at Stage 8 in 10 Stages of Genocide

My great grandfather was an Armenian who lived during the Ottoman era. He managed to escape the Armenian Genocide and come to the USA. But his first wife and their children were all massacred. He also had a brother whose fate is unknown. That is what happens in a genocide. To see transgender people ...

Wasn't that The Word Network?

I'm a little surprised continued carriage wasn't a stipulation of the deal, much like how TCT continues to be carried on one of the WDWO channels.
WDWO removed TCT some time ago.

WADL 38.5 is gone

They didn't even replace it with anything. The channel was just de-activated. It's probably in preparation for Mission's acquisition.

Re: Amherstburg's NEW Radio Station ~ Coming Spring 2023

Im going to have to do the same, to see where the 50 watt signal stsrts to come in beit near Lasalle or River Canard. I went to Canada about a week ago, and I decided to see for myself. Starting at the intersection of Huron Church Rd and Malden, W300DI (1310's translator) comes in pretty clearly wi...

Good info and analysis, Splouge.
Absolutely! I'm still looking thru the agreements, but I think I covered the important points. I've definitely droned on more than enough here! :P

If I find anything else, I'll add it to my previous reply instead of creating a new one

Re: WADL to be sold to Nexstar (through Mission Broadcasting)

I've been looking at the LMA for WADL and comparing it to the LMAs, JSAs, and SSAs of Mission's other stations, and I see nothing out of the ordinary. The article says that the ATVA claims that "all of Mission’s stations are operated by Nexstar under shared services agreements, which allows Nexstar ...

Re: WADL to be sold to Nexstar (through Mission Broadcasting)

I'm not an expert, but I've been doing some research, so I'll give it my best shot. Right away, I know for a fact that the 39% rule does not apply, since Nexstar won't be the licensee of the station. As far as I can tell, Nexstar's control of retransmission consent for WADL will be perfectly legal. ...

Re: CW 50 to ditch The CW, return to independence

No official announcements have been made about WADL, but it was officially announced that KRON, WPHL, and WTTA will carry The CW. They'll all be moving MyNetworkTV to subchannels, which is strange because they already delay MNT programming to 2am. The subchannel move may have something to do with th...

Re: CW 50 to ditch The CW, return to independence

If you ask me, I think that 50 and 62 should swap programming. If CBS goes to 50, they can gain back some of the dignity they once had. It really makes no sense for Viacom to have an independent station with a lower channel number than their CBS station. Or even better, WWJ should make an offer to W...

Re: WADL to be sold to Nexstar (through Mission Broadcasting)

Keep an eye on WPHL Philly, WTTA Tampa, and KRON San Francisco as well, these Nexstar-owned MNT affiliates are in markets where CBS will be dumping CW. Whatever those three stations do, 38 will probably follow suit.

Re: WADL to be sold to Nexstar (through Mission Broadcasting)

I think we can expect the new "CW 38" to be a great improvement. The presentation will no longer be like that of a public access station. And I expect we'll be getting Rewind TV in our diginet lineup. Funny enough, we may even see Antenna TV return to 38. MNT will probably be 38.1's secondary affili...

Is there any chance that 20 would want to pick up The CW affiliation?
Zero. No way a Scripps station is going to link up with Nexstar.
20 has Antenna TV on a subchannel, and that's owned by Nexstar

Re: WWJ STL troubles

Their sister station, WOMC, has dropouts about every 5 minutes, which last for about 1/5 of a second. But unlike WWJ, they don't have their tower far away in Berlin Township, which makes the whole thing even more of an oddity.

Also, exactly where is the Rouge River Bridge you're referring to?
