I'm in the Miami market and using Roku. Nope, nothing local.

I know nothing much will change here in terms of programming but I wonder if there will be an effect on local news and if KION will do more to have more news on KCBA or just keep it status quo as is. I find it interesting even though I know it won't have much effect.

Yeah seems like CMG has done well taking care of Telemundo Charlotte. I see them doing the same in Seattle and Jacksonville, but more so in Seattle IMO since Seattle also has Univision too.

I know Telemundo has other low-power O&Os to their roster but I think they should give more priority to it's newer Florida O&Os because of the Hispanic population throughout the state, especially in the areas it broadcasts in: Tampa Bay, Central Florida and yes, even Southwest Florida IMO should count towards this.

Back where it belongs... IMO.

That's fine with me but Channel 31 is the same Telemundo signal three times over to cover three different areas. Replace three low power signals with one full power signal across the whole market. If NBCUniversal went for this change, the FCC would so approve it in a heartbeat.

I remember Megan from her time at WFOR. I'm trying to remember Erin but her name is so familiar to me. EDIT: Now I remember! From her time at WPRI. Wow.

I have a feeling in the future that Comcast will take those three LPTVs (WTMO-CD 31.1 Orlando / WKME-CD 31.1 Kissimmee / WMVJ-CD 31.1 Melbourne) and convert them into a full power outlet for WTMO (DT) on Channel 31.1.

WITI's Chief Rob Haswell is on the Wake-Up News and Midday. So is WBAY's Chief Steve Beylon on morning, 9am and Noon.

I love Pointless! I'd watch it.

I've been watching FOX Weather alot this weekend and it looks like that's here to stay because, once again, they aired FOX Weather LIVE from 12:00-8:00 p.m. yesterday and it seems like they're doing the same for today as well. Long-form is still airing from 8:00-11:00 p.m. but I prefer FOX Weather LIVE over the other stuff The Weather Channel likes to air from 1:00-8:00 p.m. on weekends anyways. Seeing FOX Weather cutting back on long-form programming is a nice thing for a change, just not 24/7 WeatherNation, AccuWeather NOW or TWC-ES type of coverage just yet.

I wholeheartedly agree! 8PM would've been way better for the repeat instead of 4pm. FOX Weather and WeatherNation would seriously take advantage of it.

I can see the newsroom and lobby right there. It does scream a broadcasting studio.

The LIVE bug is now at the bottom, not the top. Just a minor thing I've noticed this week from watching.

Wow. I'm in love! Some of the best weather graphics I've ever seen, anywhere.

Oh okay. Your on top of these FCC deals so I had a feeling you would know.

I support that only in which I believe that there are CBS affiliates out there that wish they had hour-long midday news. I'm looking at WINK Fort Myers and WKYT Lexington as two such examples. There's probably more out there that want to as well. I'm thinking so does KDKA Pittsburgh and WTKR Norfolk since both are in very competive markets.

The resurrection of CNN has officially begun.

I'm starting to call foul on the network because I was watching yesterday and noticed that the second and third hours of America's Weather NOW, outside of a TOTH update, were bascially repeats but FOX Weather called it live on its bug when it really wasn't. Like, shit. I feel like I need to watch WeatherNation more and more as a result.

Do you know of anything about WGUD-LD Pascagoula? According to RabbitEars, it says that Gray Television owns that one too.

Apologies if this is in the wrong place (please put it in the right place somewhere. I haven't opened a new thread here in a LONG time) but I'm doing this because I'm launching a newsletter that's all about SiriusXM. They do send out newsletters but its more of promotions of their channels and not of the latest news, programming/channel changes, new channels, events, etc. involving the service. So I'm taking it into my own hands and launching SeriousXM, a FREE newsletter, on Monday, June 6th. This newsletter will cover everything previously mentioned and a whole lot more plus features like looking back at old lineups/channels that were on the service, feedback and complaints about the service, and much more. It will grow as time goes by. And yes, its FREE but I may add an option for donations to support my project. If anyone cares and is curious or interested to sign up to subscribe for FREE: Here's the link to do so. You'll have my grateful appreciation and I thank you for doing so in advance!

I'm keeping an eye on weather brandings. Outside of Weather, First Alert Weather is the most popular brand in the country and continues to grow. I know because Gray's WGGB/WSHM just adopted First Alert Weather within the last two-three weeks. CBS saw the name as an opportunity for some of its markets.

Man you really do keep an eye on FOX Weather for us @Spring Rubberand I thank you for that!

I thought WDVM was already on a WDCW sub via 25.1 to provide D.C. coverage via the WDCW transmitter.

I paid for a plan but then it took me to cable/satellite authentication when I don't have cable/satellite. So like I had to have cable/satellite and then pay for a plan to stream TWC? Like, WTF?
