PelicanGuy 117 Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 http://blog.nola.com/davewalker/2008/08/cox_to_carry_wvue_news_channel.html Cox to carry WVUE news channel starting Sept. 1 Posted by August 01, 2008 3:24PM WVUE-Channel 8 and Cox Communications have set a Sept. 1 launch date for a cable channel devoted to WVUE newscasts. Cox will carry the feed on digital cable channel 115. Negotiated as part of the deal that last month finally put WVUE's main digital broadcast signal on Cox's HD lineup at channel 708, the new channel will be programmed in part with news reruns similar to the popular WWL-Channel 4 news reruns on Cox channel 15. WVUE currently recycles its newscasts on digital broadcast sub-channel 8.2, but Joe Cook, general manager of WVUE, said that the new cable channel won't be entirely reruns. "It will be partly that, and partly some new twists and wrinkles," he said. "It will have a good bit more live element to it." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
