One more oddity: WEVD's analog transmitter is in Dover, but its proposed digital stick is in Middletown (New Castle County) and would put out a marginal signal at best to Dover. Does WMDT want to be a Delaware station rather than a Salisbury station?

Madoff part 1 was bumped in Memphis for the 901 Fest, the Memphis in May finale which may have replaced the Sunset Symphony. And next Saturday's part 2 won't air in Louisville because of the Crusade for Children telethon.
BTW, here's the IMDb page for Henry's Crime:

WEVD is a WMDT translator, but I'm surprised it still hasn't been converted to digital. The FCC's TV Query says its application is still pending. Maybe it's because of ABC O&O WPVI, which claims Dover as part of its coverage area and doesn't want another ABC affiliate encroaching on its turf?
Grand Junction is its own DMA and Glenwood Springs is in the Denver DMA. I guess Nexstar didn't want that much coverage. More wireless spectrum for Denver?
RabbitEars is saying WHAG will become an affiliate of Weigel's Heroes & Icons network, which is already seen in the DC market on WDCA 20.3.

Also on Monday, KCWI's former sister station KDMI switched from ThisTV to TCT after its sale to Dove Broadcasting, leaving ThisTV without an affiliate in Des Moines.
Looks like Cox subscribers in Vegas will get to watch the Super Bowl after all:

I wonder who pressured the two sides to make a deal? CBS? The NFL? Nevada Sen. Harry Reid?
When WVUE was an ABC affiliate, it was stuck in third place. I guess ABC was/is a non-factor in New Orleans. From Wikipedia:

And if it can happen in Chattanooga, could it happen in say, Portland ME? Right now FOX is on WPFO 23.1, which doesn't really reach far southern Maine or the New Hampshire counties in the market. Sinclair could put FOX on WGME 13.2 and shift GetTV to 13.3. WPFO would have Grit on 23.1 and Comet TV on 23.2.

Well, it happened. FOX is now only on WTVC 9.2 in Chattanooga, and has changed its branding from "FOX 61" to "FOX Chattanooga". WDSI meanwhile has ThisTV on 61.1 and Comet TV on 61.2. MNT has moved to WFLI 53.2. Chattanooga is now the largest market (and first Top 100 market) to have FOX on a subchannel of a Big 3 station.

I thought the article said The CW would be in HD only on cable? 2.3 would still be in SD OTA, with 2.1 and 2.2 in HD.
Why would you have three HD channels OTA (like KBMT Beaumont TX)? That would be a waste of bandwidth.
