NBC LX Launches in Detroit
NBC LX Launches in Detroit
Came across a new channel on WDWO 18.2 called NBC LX a channel geared toward Gen Z and Millenials.
Nice to see WDWO with a great signal in metro Detroit making a move to add channels now that the repack is over.
Maybe GET TV will be in touch with WDWO about relocating to a channel with great signal coverage on UHF in Metro Detroit instead of half ASSED coverage on low vhf losing thousands of viewers.

Re: NBC LX Launches in Detroit
I imagine WDIV was given right to first refusal for the subchannel -- and exercised it.
Re: NBC LX Launches in Detroit
This sounds interesting but my reception of WDWO isn't that great so I don't think I'll be able to get this even if I tried. It doesn't sound like a great network anyway but I was interested in just glancing at it. Oh well.
Re: NBC LX Launches in Detroit
Any idea what is on 18.6? All I've seen is Petticoat Junction and the Beverly Hillbillies.

Re: NBC LX Launches in Detroit
I'm not sure if 18.6 even has a name. Might just be a collection of programming rights purchased by the TV station. Right now, The Lucy Show is on. No commercials, no ID, etc. aired between the 6a and 6:30a episodes.
So far, based on what I've seen and what you've seen, the theme seems to be classic sitcoms.
I can see why WDIV passed on carrying NBC LX, which I guess is some sort of douchey shorthand for "local" (as in local involvement). Super boring programming!!!

Morgan Wallen is a piece of garbage.

The shows they air on DT6 are public domain.

Re: NBC LX Launches in Detroit
I just find it a bit confusing that NBC saw Sinclair Broadcast Group's "TBD" digital subnetwork and thought "I want a piece of that pie!"... most people in my generation (millennials) and younger aren't that interested in watching television these days

Re: NBC LX Launches in Detroit
Ring, the content is of interest to younger, urban/suburban, and - dare I say - hipper audiences with stories on climate change, food, etc., for over-the-air and streaming audiences. You don't have to sit in the La-Z-Boy every night and watch black-and-white shows from Mayberry like the old farts do.RingtailedFox wrote: ↑Sat May 23, 2020 12:37 pmI just find it a bit confusing that NBC saw Sinclair Broadcast Group's "TBD" digital subnetwork and thought "I want a piece of that pie!"... most people in my generation (millennials) and younger aren't that interested in watching television these days

Rug, I won't disagree with you on that.
Re: NBC LX Launches in Detroit
The same programming is also on 19.4.MWmetalhead wrote: ↑Fri May 22, 2020 6:33 amI'm not sure if 18.6 even has a name. Might just be a collection of programming rights purchased by the TV station. Right now, The Lucy Show is on. No commercials, no ID, etc. aired between the 6a and 6:30a episodes.

Re: NBC LX Launches in Detroit
Hearing rumors that WMNT-CD may not renew a contract with 48.2, Antenna TV. Stupid move, in my opinion. May this be on 48.2 Toledo? They already are "friends" with Cozi, which is owned by NBC already.

Re: NBC LX Launches in Detroit
Considering that Antenna TV is now editing shows to fit more mostly-PI commercials in, as well a forcing the closing credits to share the same screen with the next show's open, it's probably a good thing.
Re: NBC LX Launches in Detroit
I notice other networks doing similar. It's like the bug. Nobody thought an ABC bug in the corner was doing any good. But it was. I remember people kvetching about not watching ABC, yet they either did not stop, or went back to watching ABC. All CBS cables do not show closing credits. I do not agree. Johnny Carson alone... that's a powerhouse show. Get rid of it, would be like getting rid of Toby Keith, Michael Jackson, Elvis and a few more, music-wise.rugratsonline wrote: ↑Thu Jun 04, 2020 8:42 pmConsidering that Antenna TV is now editing shows to fit more mostly-PI commercials in, as well a forcing the closing credits to share the same screen with the next show's open, it's probably a good thing.
