Thanks for posting Mgsports. While I generally would welcome a new diginet I'm not so sure about this one. If it comes to fruition it sounds like a good portion of the shows we currently enjoy would be moved from Antenna TV to Antenna TV Classics to 'recalibrate its lineup with shows to attract younger viewers'. Stations in our area have been timid about adding diginets so I'm afraid they might stick with the reformulated Antenna TV rather than making a deal to replace/expand with Antenna TV Classics.
Agreed....Thanks for posting Mgsports. While I generally would welcome a new diginet I'm not so sure about this one.

Hard to say but my guess would be that Antenna TV Classics would include the 50's, 60's as well as the 70's which is the majority of the current Antenna TV lineup. The redesigned Antenna TV would probably be 80's and up shows, 'to attract younger viewers', perhaps with additional trendy content provided/acquired by Tribune.
Ever noticed your probably the only market with 3 sets of twins. 2 stations owned by the Hearst Corp. 2 by Scripps, 2 by Meredith. Oh and as for WDAF getting the new Antenna2 yes, as for Comet you got KCTV or KSMO as your best chance (Meredith). If I didnt say this too you already the reason why you have no subs on your major networks like KCTV. Scripps and Meredith have contracts with the same sub networks and look at your rabbit ears lineup. Your scripps stations the spot 38 and NBC 41 have all your KATZ networks plus Cozi which left Meredith stations holding the bag. However with the way things are going you have the two Hearst 9/29 and the two Meredith to load up on the rest so you stand a better chance than alot of others...
Where I'm at we have some room left for laff, escape, movies, cozi, comet, and a little decades too. I'd like to have decades myself.
Where's AntennaTV2 gonna go if Tribune launches Comet on Fox 4 WDAF. I'm sure Comet will explore other options besides Tribune, Tegna, Sinclair (Its owner), later on to get the affiliations up. KC market got space on a couple channels.
At least you got ThisTV back when Hearst dropped it from KCWE for Movies last year, I lost ThisTV for American Sports Network (which is getting a lil better than I thought) and the Movies! launch was put on hiatus. Nonetheless getting back to the important aspects,the way your calling it will HIGHLY UNLIKELY work in your favor........Tribune will not drop thistv from WDAF and will not likely drop the fox and go indy with it, why drop a subnetwork you own off a STATION you own. You want Comet, H&I and Decades you got two Meredith (KCTV/KSMO) and Two Hearst Stations (KWCE/KMBC) I see plenty of slots open between those 4 stations..Start dialing and emailing...
Alot of the sub network owners like Katz are looking to add to the DT3 and DT4 of alot of stations..
