What time exactly? Zap2It shows a midnight shutdown for the SD listing and a 6am shutdown for the HD listing.

Whenever Main Street decides to pull the plug on its feed. For the past month or so it's just been a 24/7 simulcast of the base feed that's used as filler for the extra channels.

When Arizona shutdown the feed switched to a Bally slate at the start of the next programming day. San Diego was a little more complicated, providers were switched over to a market specific edit of SoCal while the master San Diego feed continued for a few days until it switched to a test pattern.

The Rangers Sports Network is now testing on the stream server

 

[KyL416]

What time exactly? Zap2It shows a midnight shutdown for the SD listing and a 6am shutdown for the HD listing.

The streaming feed and 662 SD on satellite cut to a slate at midnight ET, but 662 HD is still showing programming from the base feed.

There's also an info slate testing on the server
