DIRECTV Transponder Map ~ Data 5/1/2024

[PioneerDJ]

Seattle Kraken announced they are leaving ROOT NW for OTA, signing with TEGNA, games airing on KONG, select few simulcasting on KING5 NBC, KGW NBC in Portland, KREM CBS in Spokane (don’t know yet if they will be on subchannels), and Amazon Prime across the team’s territory… more affiliates to be announced

Looks like we will see some Kraken games instead of all to air on DTV’s NHL CI next season

 

[PioneerDJ]

let me rephrase by saying all the Kraken games will air on KREM and KGW in those markets

 

[KyL416]

The networks will never let them pre-empt network programming most nights of the week for the entire fall-spring TV season, so they will primarily be on subchannels in Portland and Spokane. It will probably pre-empt True Crime on their .2 channels

The last spot beam on D9S using TPN 18 was shut down, and the SD duplicates for Chicago on TPN 18 were moved to a National trasnponder on D16 TPN 18. The only active spot beams on D9S today are on TPNs 12 and 20.

Just wanted to say, since we moved here from Edgecutter a year ago today...
THANK YOU!
Thank you to everyone involved in the making of this transponder map data. It is a valuable resource to everyone here, myself included.

Weekly Analysis for 5/1/2024:

 

[KyL416]

Some TPN reshuffling involving NFLHD, MGMHT and NSCAHD (This actually happened late last week, so it was likely NFL Draft related)

CINE 183 has returned, pointing to the same feed as CINE 177

More Roland-Garros prep

SHOPHQ HD's label has been updated

The existing targetted offers have been removed, replacement ones are testing (9751 Choice Upgrade Offer, 9757 MLBEI On Us)

Passing along Gracenote's OTA record cleanup for KSTC and KDOC

 

[KyL416]

Scripps News will be replacing Bounce tomorrow on the secondary Ion LIL stations KILM/64 Los Angeles, WFPX/62 Raleigh, WDLI/17 Cleveland, WSFJ/51 Columbus and WCLJ/42 Indianapolis.

Bounce will still be available via channel 82, and for those not paying attention to the FAST thread, a few weeks ago Scripps News was added to channel 4009 via the app and website.

D9S, thy end is near. more to come in today's data.

 

[Tom Speer]

As of last week, the only spot beams active were on TPNs 12 and 20. Although those transponders have not yet been shut down, tioday's guide data shows only the spot beams for New York and Minneapolis being used, on two transponders using the TPN 20 frequency. This morning I still see a signal on TPN 12, but it is no longer being used by the guide data. I expect one of those two markets to be remapped to a national transponder on TPN 12 and the other transferred to a national TPN 20 transponder on D16 in the next few days. DirecTV will then prepare D9S for transfer to a higher disposal orbit beyond the Clarke belt.
