50.5 Circle Network coming soon

Post by szmigiel » Thu Dec 19, 2019 1:24 pm

Looks like CW 50 is adding another sub-channel called Circle, which is basically run by the Grand Ole Opry.

At 4:30 PM on 12-19-2019 I am receiving OTA these channels on the Channel 50 group.

50.1 -- Main
50.2 -- Comet
50.3 -- Charge
50.4 -- TBD - (Whatever that is)
50.5 -- ION
50.6 -- A health program.
50.7 -- QVC
50.8 -- HSN

I can only get 50.1 thru 50.4 by just advancing up on channel selection with the remote. To get 50.5 thru 50.8 I have to select them individually and then they appear. 50.5 thru 50.8 didn't pull in with a rescan but like I said I can select them one at a time. I had this happen once before when one of the other channels we knew they were going to add couldn't be scanned in initially until it seemed to be a official channel

Trick doesn't work with my tuners, mostly Samsungs and two DVRs with built in tuners.

Circle's programming sounds absolutely putrid; I won't be watching!

Perhaps it will have some appeal, though, to the geriatric crowd.

The only thing I might like on Circle is the revival of the Saturday night Grand Ole Opry, which used to air for many years on CMT and later GAC. I used to watch it when I was younger. I might give it a chance.

I cannot force or see anything like this on any of my OTA sets. Either Six's TV is wonky or WPXD had some issues with PSIP encoding.
It would make zero sense for WKBD to have any "ION" subchannel when ION has an O&O here. Shop, QVC and HSN are already triplicated or quadruplicated(?) in this market on other dignet channels.
I have seen no info about Circle appearing on any local station. Circle is slated to launch next year on Gray Television stations, which include Toledo, Flint and Lansing.

I wonder if this is the same content run on 14.12. I see some old Crook & Chase shows and some country interview programs on it, along with ad spots for WSM

I know that morning radio show that is simulcast on 14.12 will no longer be on that channel in January. Maybe that simulcast will move to Circle?

Circle also started on 12.3 in the Tri-Cities on January 1 (weather moved to 12-6). They have F-Troop at noon on weekdays. On Jan 1, they had show number 1, which had the story of how Parmenter got his medal, promoted to Captain, and sent to F-Troop. In the intro with the theme song, that old bearded soldier looking beside his sword is supposed to be his father.

I tried rescanning my antenna yesterday and didn't see 50.5, I'm guessing it's not up?

It is listed on the TitanTV grid now, though.
