Changes probably coming soon at WPXD (ION).

[Splouge]

A 20.4 channel has been activated on RF25, airing HSN.

And per zap2it, effective Mar 1,

Court TV will be on 31.2
Grit on 31.3
Court TV Mystery on 31.4

Do we really need yet another outpost for HSN or QVC programing?!?!

Good lord; the DTV dial is already cluttered with multiple duplications of those channels.

I wonder when/if Laff and Bounce will be moving to WPXD.

Exactly!!!! Bring us something we dont have. How bout a full power bringing back GET TV.?????

I personally think we should have a 24-hour weather subchannel again. I remember when 4 and 7 had theirs... they came in pretty handy during severe weather. Someone higher up at either 2, 4, or 7 should think about starting one up again.

Hell, I still miss Weatherscan on Comcast...

I'm in Lakeland, FL for the month, and Tampa Bay has quite a bit of duplication of subchannels:
Court TV is on WFLA 8.2, WFTS 28.4, and WXPX 66.2 (three full-power stations!)
Court TV Mystery is on WFLA 8.3 and WVEA 50.4
Grit is on WFTS 28.4 and WXPX 66.3
Laff is on WFTS 28.2 and WXPX 66.4
QVC is on WFTS 28.5 and WXPX 66.5 (WFTS just added QVC yesterday afternoon)

This doesn't even count the Sarasota stations (an LPTV down there airs Court TV, Grit, and Laff)

DT4 has made the transition to Court TV Mystery.

We have TWO wx subs in SW Michigan. 41.4 is WOOD-TV’s radar and live NWS radio. 13.2, when it comes in here (it locked on a late-night scan, but no video yet; it comes and goes here) is actually a sharp local wx presentation featuring many cities’ and villages’ current conditions along with their local backdrop.

I wonder if the weather channel will go off WZZM as TEGNA is adding another diginet called Twist. Comcast & Charter Spectrum took WZZM's weather channel off for Quest which I was kinda surprised that WZZM hasn't moved the weather channel to .4 like WOTV did when they put GetTV on .2?

Looks like Katz networks to add Doozy & Defy on July 1.

My predictions:

Antenna TV 80s: WMYD 20.3
Doozy: WPXD 31.6 or .5
Defy: 31.5 or .6
Twist: WADL 38.2

QVC will probably be on 7.4, Scripps stations have been adding QVC and HSN all over the country.

I've never been impressed by WZZM's on target weather channel. The screen is cluttered with too much crap; graphics have always looked public access quality to me.

Admittedly, I haven't watched it in a couple years. Perhaps the appearance now looks better?

3 reality channel. Yikes. Is Antenna 80s real or are you hoping they'll split?

CH 4's weather was the best, it had a multicolored map, accurate radar and a solid 7 day forecast.
7's seemed lazy,.

Antenna TV 80s is supposedly launching in late 2021

It's time for an update:

Twist is going on 38.8, also...

I read a report on Scripps-owned WCPO's website that says that Doozy and Defy will be going on the 48 Ion O&Os, and also on the 61 other Scripps stations. So it looks like they'll be on 7.4 and 20.3
