I never watched the sports on HTSN, not a sports fan, but it had excellent news coverage and often carried local news events live and extended severe weather updates live. I bet once they flip the switch to Grit, that's lights out for local content.

I can't imagine that the local sports were that expensive to produce. I hope they go to WTTV 4.2 or another suitable location.

Since its a tribune station, yeah that could likely happen.
