CW13 missing from all IPTV services

Post by Deleted User 15062 » Tue Jan 26, 2021 9:03 pm

I've looked and have not found any IPTV services (YouTube TV and Hulu, for example) that are not cable companies, that carry WTVG 13.2 (CW13). Any ideas why it's totally absent, when CW is a network selling point for those looking for local channels? Strange that you can get Cozi TV, but not CW. The CW network logo is on those IPTV service websites, but not when you put in ANY NWO zip code.

VHF antenna and you've gottem, viola! WTVG was running their local news on antenna 13.2 during the capitol riots and left ABC on the main 13.1 feed.

Maybe complaints may get this rolling. I can't be the only voice that Chris the GM is hearing on this. If they don't contact him, maybe he needs to contact the IPTV's and Dish.

IPTV services typically don't offer subchannels of main network affiliates. Both Hulu and YouTube TV offer CW network programming, on demand and perhaps live from the network itself if they don't offer a local affiliate in a particular area. Hulu did the same thing with NBC in Toledo, due to them not having an agreement with Sinclair to stream WNWO. They aired a live stream directly from NBC, with various MSNBC/CNBC/NBCSN shows streamed when there was nothing on the main network. WTVG's owner would probably want IPTV providers to pay an additional fee to be able to offer CW13.

CW, if you read above is MISSING, not any CW+ feed. So it is ABSENT from all IPTV lineups. CW is now a main network, since stations have news and information at 10 pm. "Typically" does not mean anything if it is a marketed channel on the main websites for lineups.... this lures people in, but no CW local or CW+.
