oh well. I know with the owners we have subs will be few and far between. The other drawback is while Minneapolis has a bunch of low powered stations (technically there are 7 but 2 seem to never be on the air) and most are owned by religious networks. Univision is owned by someone other than the network and we have one station owned by DTV America (so options are limited)

Yeah your right. Milwaukee got the best diversity with their stations and who owns them. Still I am proud of what media general has done for us the last couple of weeks.
Could ION be coming to Albuquerque NM and/or Jackson MS next? RabbitEars has hints of a WJTV 12.4 and KRQE 13.2
Ummmmm try again. There is no "hint" for either ones.
I guess you didnt read what a couple folks posted previously
Once you get the actual info and you see nobody else has posted it then that's fine. What they can or can do with no proof doesn't make the matter better

I was wonderin why the 31 Three Angels Broadcasting low power stations being sold to DTV America Corp hadnt been listed yet. Thanks for clearing that up.
yup I'm looking......and see NOTHING for either one
As I said, it was there, but I removed it.

Thats like me posting that KLFY is getting Cozi on 10.2, Comet on katc 3.3, the katz diginets, decades, movies, decades, get going to the Delta Stations, and Nexstar launching Buzzr on fox 15. That would irritate some people on here, first of all we have no knowledge all this oldies will launch on these stations, secondly the station or the owner wont tell you of it comes or not. All I know garaunteed is the Delta stations but unless I see CONCRETE evidence I'm not gonna post it. This is what you doing with the ion stations. Save yourself some trouble, wait till you see the facts.
Got another email from MG (The Corporate Communications Director, Courtney) The 10.2 might not be off the air long. She says that MG is exploring other options for the 10.2 as well as other stations (I am sure) that ION is by itself with. With that I kinda figured ION wasn't the actual LWN replacement. However I'm watching it a lot.
Now I been doing good but I will post this, and this maybe true or here say
Here is the thing and I will say this anyway (WHICH I REALLY DO NOT WANT TO) some follower off the TEE VEE GUYD FB page posted he emailed MG and they were looking at an agreement with Weigel Subchannels as replacement which is either Decades or Movies or for some H&I. I don't see MG agreeing to fill up the open subchannels with Cozi or the KATZ channels as they already made that with several of their stations already. Could happen who knows. All I know is we are at least getting something in the future. The rest well it is what it is....

That .4 issue has become a nightmare......Honestly I do not see Media General adding ION on the dreaded .4 channel on WJTV. If ION does get added to the Jackson Market, a possibility is Antenna getting knocked off the Channel 12 lineup (You already have the major market cw as the .2 so that stays) and well then you have to only hope Hearst or Raycom picks it up on their stations (WAPT and or the WDBD and WLOO)
Could be wrong but I can't see Media adding a .4 to anything....
I am glad you mentioned this because I find out today Ion is NOT the livewell replacement and I posted on this thread that they are looking for a subchannel for KLFY's 10.2
Ion being added to WBDT-DT3 (CW main, Bounce -2) in Dayton, OH apparently today
Another MG station
Another MG station
Incidentally, Channel 26 was once an ION/PAX O&O.
From Wikipedia:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WBDT
Seems like that Market hit the bank this quarter like Green Bay......Ion and Escape (WDTN) (MG) and Antenna on (WKEF) (Sinclair) and the Comet channel on the Fox Affiliate.
This moves the Ion markets up to near 90.....
ummm ok. What does that have to do with MG adding Ion to some stations? That's nice there was a partial Ion/PAX affiliate there over 10 years ago. But you dont need to post the same crap at every website out there (oh wait too late you already did)
