Equity UPN/WB stations changing to CW/MNTV

It's all screwy. I recorded WNGS last night at 10 pm hoping for the scheduled Get Smart. Got Magnum , instead. No comparison, there. Smart is a much better detective.

I noticed that Titan said Adam-12 was on at 9:30, and it wasn't

 

[WyldCherry]

with all these changes do we re- scan again?

 

[Mr Tony]

no. The channels are at the same location. Just the programming changed on them

 

[WyldCherry]

ok thanks

With WGNS, both the satallite and OTA signals, the guides do not match the programming. The programming does not appear to have changed from last month, but the guides are showing new shows. This includes the guide transmitted with the OTA signal. The Titan guide does seem to match the transmitted guide on the OTA signal.

Currently its 9:22pm Titan says WNGS has Mission Impossible, the OTA transmitted guide for WNGS also says Mission Impossible but Hawaii Five-O is currently playing. One strange thing is that the OTA guide is off about 5 minutes. Mission Impossible starting at 9:05 and not 9:00

WBMM now has a website cwmontgomery.com which features a countdown clock to the change to CW. I am a bit confused about who owns and programs the station. I found a reference to Equity selling the station in 2005, yet the same reference showed the current owner as Equity. Will the WBMM we receive FTA show CW programming? Otherwise I'm out of luck to watch CW. The nearest OTA affiliate to me is about 60 miles away and is so low power it probably uses D cells to power the transmitter.

 

[Mr Tony]

Sagemore Broadcasting owns the station but Equity may program it. WNGS is like that. Equity owns it but the ABC station in town kinda runs it with commercials and such.

Everything I've read shows WBMM with Sagemore and not with Equity

Thanks for the information. I was using this site for information. Apparently they need to edit their information:

[Mr Tony]

I use www.tvradioworld.com
It has a link to the FCC

Yeah, there is a FOX station 35 miles from me and I can't get it..

 

[Mr Tony]

new logo for KWWF (Waterloo, IA)

 

[iafirebuff]

Thanks for the headsup! That's my "local" station

 

[Mr Tony]

I figured you'd like that

 

[iafirebuff]

I think it is funny that my "local" station comes from Little Rock

 

[GaryPen]

Didn't see this coming.

WBMM, the Daystar affilaite in Montgomery, AL (9th channel in 11799 mux) is going CW

So we'll have a CW on the stronger TP

I better re-scan that TP. That was one of the first channels I deleted.

 

[Mr Tony]

Its still a Daystar for now. Monday is the "big change" date

here in Mpls we have 2
WUMN-Univision (I was at my mom's the other day and their cable has this station and not the national station)
Low powered Daystar station (switching to Telefutura)
