Eat News 4738 Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 one could almost say that Midwest bought XETV, moved it across the border and moved it to a subchannel of KFMB, creating a duopoly in a really slick way. Oh Holy Dawsons Creek... You are right! Those bastards got XETV naturalized in the USA and nobody said anything. No wonder they didn't promote it...they don't want any attention to the deal. "Keep moving along...nothing to see here...." DEPORT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEOMatrix 1295 Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 What's DirecTV holding out for? Are they seriously going to carry XETV Canal 5 come 5/31? Now that would be uncharted territory. (Either that or they force all subs to be next to their parent stations.) Would be ironic if "CW 6" ends up on channel 7 on DirecTV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A3N 996 Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 That being contingent on XETV not remaining a CW affiliate made sense. DTV made a point of saying they'd be interested in CW but it was pretty much a foregone conclusion that CW would go to FMB. Between that and no other station being considered, one could almost say that Midwest bought XETV, moved it across the border and moved it to a subchannel of KFMB, creating a duopoly in a really slick way. So basically KFMB bought a pile of crap, kept a few things and chucked the rest...? I think that summarizes this affiliation change quite well. __________________________________________ Do you think that attaching the CW affiliation to any CBS affiliation renewal will become standard practice, or is this one of those special cases?

tvtime07 250 Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 They bought all of it except the weekend portion, which someone at KFMB said would most likely land on XDTV. Also, The CW never approached KUSI or XDTV after leaving XETV. The CW, as we all probably know, was a package deal for the CBS renewal. Just figured that'd be worth noting. I keep forgetting XDTV even exists, I have DIRECTV and we don't even get that channel, so no Rachael Ray for me. So basically KFMB bought a pile of crap, kept a few things and chucked the rest...?

Wonder if we'll see Ashley Jacobs interviewing Maury Povich and Pat Robertson appearing on the Zevely Zone. With the likes of it, I wouldn't be surprised if CBS makes it a mandate in the future, especially with Sinclair buying up the Tribune stations, I'm a little surprised that KCAL hasn't picked up The CW yet after all these years under CBS.

Well she did interview David Hasselhoff the other day, so you can bet on her interviewing more of them nuts for her AM segments. Do stations have to pay Pat Robertson to air the 700 club? or does Robertson pay the stations to air the program? because if stations have to pay for that shit, then might as well flush the money down the toilet. Better use of money that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better use of money that way. I feel like The 700 Club and all those Sunday church evangelists pay for airtime on local stations, but I'm not too sure. Robertson and his club must be banking it though, not even Disney can buy them out of their deal on Freeform. Mickey Mouse can buy Captain America and Luke Skywalker, but their Robertson connection thanks to the Fox Family clause remains divine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CircleSeven 1944 Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Damn. I was thinking that Povich would move to 69 to join the other NBC talkers. Celebrity Name Game is going off the air in the Fall. That would've been an easy replacement. Unless they're making room for Daily Mail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samantha 2878 Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Interesting... The domain hasn't transferred over or been changed, but there's really no need for it. That might also have been something KFMB asked the bones of Bay City to do or as part of a promotional transition. Keep in mind 5/30 is the last day for some people still, primarily sales and I'm sure a few technical functions as well. Then one or two people stick around to wind up the station's assets and whatnot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty Muck 4168 Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 They bought all of it except the weekend portion, which someone at KFMB said would most likely land on XDTV. Also, The CW never approached KUSI or XDTV after leaving XETV. The CW, as we all probably know, was a package deal for the CBS renewal. Just figured that'd be worth noting. This includes all shows that would have premiered on XETV in syndication for fall 2017-18. It looks like the majority of the remains of XETV's weekend lineup included weekend double-runs of their existing weeknight sitcom inventory, so that narrows things down quite a bit to a few barter shows and the like which wouldn't be carried over. My guess is any programming not carried over will be pretty negligible. KFMB effectively got the key XETV inventory otherwise. With the likes of it, I wouldn't be surprised if CBS makes it a mandate in the future, especially with Sinclair buying up the Tribune stations, I'm a little surprised that KCAL hasn't picked up The CW yet after all these years under CBS. Where would the CW programming go on KCAL? Their 8-11 news block is a counterprogramming institution in the market that CBS would be nuts to give up.
