they did lose GetTV though
Another busy market too with Ion, Antenna (WSYX) and Comet(WWHO) as the new additions (well at least Sinclair gave the people here Antenna back)....OH and correction ( WCMH 4 nbc)
. Looks like December is going to be a real busy month on Subchannel additions with Ion and others launching on Media Stations.
That leaves the CBS affiliate (Nexstar) without one (maybe where Weigel comes in in the future). WCWF was one of the first in the group to lose Get to Comet and well since the ION affiliate is a MG station maybe there is resurrection for Get, maybe (the 2.2 WX). I'm glad that they got Ion and the other subchannels to land in this market.they did lose GetTV though
Thats how it works sometimes. That market has 2 MG stations and 2 Sinclair stations. They've been passed up many times with other stations being added.
Green Bay did go from basically 1 sub (MeTV...I dont count wx stations) to 5 (soon to be 6) rather quickly
Media General owns the station now and ION is back, incidentally on its old Pax affiliate. What you had back then (involving Pax Affiliates) was either the stations were sold (like WDBT CW) and or stations (KDCG-CD H&I) dropped pax due to signal issues and the local cable added the national feed to their lineups. I know alot of the major cities call letters had part of the pax name in them like WPXL-49 New Orleans and those stayed as the o&o's but like our pax, it was an lp and when in 1998 all that happened ours was dropped and the cable company took the national feed. Seems to have worked out for me now I have an extra subchannel on KLFY (well two when Get arrives). A lot of the pax stations back then went Indy until the likes of Retro and This came about (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KDCG-CD) or something related to that effect.
Thanks, sorry i could have thought it did, I know WLUK never had a sub till Antenna arrives with Carson New Year's Day. thanks
OK cool, that ups it to 91, getting close to 100. The only ones I noticed that has'nt launched it yet (has had soon for sometime before KLFY launched ION) is KSNW out of Whicita Kansas and WLFI Indy.
I can't believe a market as big as Columbus doesn't have an Ion station already.
Yeah, now that I think about it, Charlotte doesn't have one either. I'd never thought of that. I think there are still a couple of independent stations in Charlotte, surprised Paxton didn't snap one of those up, of course they probably weren't selling for nothing.
Lansing also gets ION OTA from O&O WZPX Battle Creek (whose transmitter is in the Lansing DMA).
