WSMH FOX 66, Next Gen Channel 66.11 PBTV

[Hyper Casey]

I got on to TitanTV today to see what was on as far as my local OTA channels, and i saw FOX Next Gen Channel 66.11 PBTV. (See Pic Attached). Did a search and checked the Logo and it is Pickel Ball TV, lol. It is the first sub-channel? that i have seen on Next Gen TV in my area so far. All the major networks are on Next Gen here, but never a sub-channel. Problem is, i can not test to see if it is there. I do not have a TV that supports NextGen. I do have a STB that supports NextGen TV, but i left it in my camper, can not get to it until April. So, anyone in my area (Mid-Michigan) that is getting PBTV and can confirm it is there? I do not care about Pickel Ball, but love new channels and if 66.11 is there, maybe more channels are to come? So far it has been 4 channels 66.1 to 66.4 for as long as i remember.

It’s internet delivered, not a over the air channel
Minneapolis and other markets same way. Same with Tennis Channel 2

ATSC 3.0 has the ability to specify subchannels that are delivered via internet streaming for devices with internet connections. This means that there is nothing relating to the stream carried in the signal beyond a pointer to the stream along with some parameters that the receiver will need to properly display it. It also means that if the TV signal is lost, or similarly, if the internet stream becomes unavailable, such as due to an internet outage, the stream will terminate.
