In other CW news, their website has added a FAST (free ad-supported television) service.

 

Apparently, it's in beta, and not on the app, and there's only 12 channels, over half of them from Scripps, but it does gel with past mentions about wanting to expand The CW's streaming footprint.

I'm surprised that Antenna TV and Rewind TV are not included in their FAST service.

Former KNBC sportscaster Fred Roggin will join KMIR-TV (NBC Palm Springs) on January 2, 2024.  He'll host his own program called The Roggin Report.

My god. Just be called ABC Alabama already and call it a day. Why they're still called ABC 33/40 without actually being on 33 and 40 makes no sense to me.

WCIV-DT2 should do the same thing and drop "ABC 4" for ABC Charleston or ABC 8 (WCIV-DT2's cable position)
