Check Your areas on Rabbitears. Some have up to 3 launching on the same channel. Well done Nexstar Thanks.

WTAJ is adding Bounce, Escape, and Laff. Glad to see nexstar finally come around, and fingers crossed maybe GET TV down the road. That is the one I want most.

We'll see how many of them they actually add. I've asked for a list but have yet to receive one. I'm making some educated guesses at this point.

I read the article off facebook and it seems some of the markets they mentioned you do not have the subchannels posted, like Lafayette, Monroe, and Alexandria, Louisiana. WVLA is scheduled to launch Laff but Grit and Escape are on a lp station owned by Raycom that alot of us cant get so I'm hoping WVLA gets them too. Hopefully they give you the list and whoch market has what but from what I checked out your pretty much on the money

I counted the number of markets to what you have already have put these subchannels on the appropriate station's and the markets that they have but you don't have subchannels for and the numbers don't match but its by a small margin so when they ever do give it to you you wont have much to change maybe 5 stations.

 

[localclassictvfan]

Ugh i counted again there's more than 5. They need to help you get it all squared away and give you the list.

WFRV (The CBS affiliate in Green Bay, Wisconsin on channel 5) and WJMN (The CBS affiliate in Marquette, Michigan on channel 3 and semi-satellite of WFRV of Green Bay) will get Bounce as their very first digital subchannel.

Katz already has a deal made with the Green Bay/Appleton, Wisconsin E.W. Scripps stations WGBA NBC 26 and WACY MY 32 to offer them their subchannels.

I'd love to see a little more variety out here. I've never watched any of the channels listed.

I have grit off KPLC, i like it. I just wish Nexstar would haved Grit, Escape with Laff on WVLA 33 in Baton Rouge but a lp station that I cant get has grit and escape. That sucks big...

You talking about the link from Cable and Broadcasting, ots different from TV Newscheck as for the markets listed. We're trying to get that straighten out. Trip has most of the stations and the subchannels launching updated on rabbitears. There are some Nexstar stations that are getting them but we dont know what those yet. Heck maybe KLFY and WANE could get some since Nexstar will keep both from the Media General acquisition.

 

[localclassictvfan]

Trip I assume there is no definite launch date. Hope ots July 1

 

[localclassictvfan]

I dont mean to waste space but GetTV is off KLFY, ION and KLFY is still on 10.1/10.3 I know it launched a week after Nexstar bought Media General but if this isnt a technical could grit and or escape come on or Get stays till the contract expires.

 

[localclassictvfan]

KVOA Tucson will add Eacape soon. KATC is another possible Katz launch, nothing finalized yet.

Now WVNY and WFFF (Burlington VT) will have a reason to have a poor picture on their primary vs now where they don't. Does Bounce still air football?
