Route66Fan 77 Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 "The network will be available nationwide on the TV stations of Hearst Television, Marquee Broadcasting, Maranatha Broadcasting, Weigel Broadcasting and other affiliate partners." "Story Television marquee series will include Biography, The Men Who Built America, World War II in HD, Modern Marvels, Mankind: The Story of All of Us and more." I wonder if this will be carried on KCWE-TV, Ch. 29.3, in Kansas City, MO? They currently have their main programming on Ch. 29.1, True Crime Network on Ch. 29.2 & HSN on Ch. 29.4.

east-tx-tv 121 Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 I guess since Weigel has a DFW presence (KAZD), and enough channel room (4 right now), they'll probably have Story TV there. Will be good to have a docu-series choice without a lot of the reality fluff.

24994J 5577 Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 Announcing the channel is fine, but we're not going to be speculating about what stations will carry it. Please.

nathannah 2429 Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 Excited to watch World War II in HD in beautiful compressed standard definition 480i. On a more serious note, glad that History's archive is finding a good broadcast home. As A+E goes even more into reality, these libraries seriously need to be exploited more and air somewhere rather than being stuck in the late night hours.

Yeah, that's going to be a drawback. I wonder if their affiliates will be able to make arrangements with local cable systems to provide HD feeds.

You act as if cable and broadcast industries have a close and positive relationship, not one based on liquidating the consumer's assets for retransmission fees.

MeTV, AntennaTV, Cozi, Retro TV, Decades, GetTV, Movies!, This TV, etc. I don't have a Tegna-owned station in my area, so I can't get Quest. I do, however, have two Hearst-owned stations, so Xfinity gives us two MeTVs, right next to each other.

At least with Weigel, they seem to prefer to build networks which draw from niche and broad interests and a solid scheduling strategy, and not just take libraries without real theming.
