CBS to Launch Retro Digital Channel Focused on Pop Culture, History

[primestar31]

It's on 101w right now replacing TouchVision. See the usual forum for the specs. FatAir posted it, and I'm watching it now. Use WDJT-DT4 on TitanTV, as it's the guide and programming showing now.

I haven't gotten a chance to check but I thought I heard that it's live on WWJ CBS 62 Detroit.

[Mr Tony]

report in Chicago is WBBM 2-2 is now lit up with color bars and test tone

 

[larrykenney]

KPIX in San Francisco added 5-2 today, with the channel identified as Decades, but so far there's been no picture or sound, just a black screen.

 

[Mr Tony]

From a report it will be launched "next week" on the Sacramento CBS

 

[Mr Tony]

Yes Dallas has broadcasting no info just Digital service.

 

[Mr Tony]

Yes Dallas has broadcasting no info just Digital service.

not even PSIP info on the TV (I'm not talking the dish receiver)?

 

[larrykenney]

KOVR 13.2 Sacramento has "Decades" up and running and it looks good. KPIX 5.2 San Francisco is labeled as "Decades" in the PSIP info, but they haven't added the feed yet. We're still seeing black screen.

 

[boba]

Last night on NCIS I noticed digital break up on 11-1 I don't know if it was because of 11-2 "Decades" but strongly suspect it

 

[larrykenney]

KPIX 5.2 San Francisco started airing "Decades" today, 2/9.

 

[Mr Tony]

still nothing in Minneapolis (had someone scan today for WCCO 4-2 and nothing)

 

[Mr Tony]

Decades launched in Detroit today on WWJ 62-2
