Supposedly it also launched on our newly-purchased-by-Weigel "local" station KMOH on 6.3 but I can't verify since I can't receive the signal
MeTV is launching MeTV+

Checked the schedule (Chicago) and METV+ does carry some interesting old shows like Guns of Will Sonnet, Branded, Police Woman, Mayberry RFD. Hopefully someone will pick it up in Portland. Dish carries quite a few of Weigel's diginets like METV, H&I. and Start TV, so they may pick it up in time.
It was supposed to be on here in Hartford, but no signs of it. I even rescanned and still no METV+.
MeTV is working fine though Svengoolie is on.

The article in the first post says that only WCIU in Chicago and KMOH in the Phoenix market would get MeTV+ on the first day of programming.
Yes, I also read the rest of the Weigel stations will have it in time. Unfortunately the nearest Weigel station is Seattle, as Portland does have any. Hopefully someone will pick it up.
And if KMOH is airing it, no one in Phoenix can tell. KMOH serves Kingman AZ, about 175 miles from Phoenix (but in the Phoenix market). Weigel isn't even putting MeTV+ on KMOH's LPTV sister station in Phoenix, KEJR-LD.

MeTV+ will be adding new affiliates on September 27th. These are all Weigel stations. These stations include:
WJFB DT6 (Nashville, TN)
KAZA DT3 (Los Angeles, CA)
KTLN DT4 (San Francisco, CA)
WCWW LD4 (South Bend, IN)
KAZD DT4 (Lake Dallas - Dallas - Fort Worth, TX)
KYAZ DT2 (Katy - Houston, TX)

Since METV is also on Dish, maybe METV+ will be added there too. KATU 2.2 has METV in Portland, so hopefully Portland will have it too.
Whoops yes that is correct. I am also getting MeTV plus on WZME as well

My guess is because MeTV+ has only launched on Weigel stations for now. They must have some internal link. Perhaps when non-Weigel stations start to sign on, that'll be when MeTV+ shows up. All of Weigel's networks are on satellite, so surely this one will be as well. There can't be any special reason that explains why MeTV+ would be the only Weigel network to not be uplinked via satellite.
Yes, it does appear it is only going out to Weigel owned stations at the moment. I just find it really strange that their other channels are currently sent via satellite but this one is apparently via internet distribution. I hope at some point it does goes out nationally via satellite but am kind of worried this is 'testing the waters' and they will instead switch to internet distribution for their other channels as well.
All of Weigel's O&O stations appear to be fed via Internet feed from a centralized master control, from what I can tell.

Any word on if/when MeTV Plus will go to non-Weigel stations and, if it does, how would it be delivered to those?
