FAVE TV

[proxima3]

Is anybody else seeing a test pattern for FAVE TV on WWJ-TV 62.4?

[YpsiGuy]

Yes.

It’s the fastest I ever nuked a digital subchannel.

Religious crap.

Don't we have enough of that shit OTA? Seems pointless for CBS to add this to 62...

Yes, I just did a rescan and it is there.

Looks like another sub channel I will be removing, but you never know. I thought Light TV was going to be awful, but they do play some decent movies from time to time.

WWJ should have taken on a Scripps subchannel instead of WKBD doing it for the move to WMYD’s ATSC 3.0

WWJ has the room for it. Instead of bringing on this crap.

Rumor has it as being a new sub-channel. Other CBS O&O's are hopping on board as well.

[innate-in-you]

I'm seeing a dynamic test pattern right now.
My set shows 62.4 as "FAVE".

I looked for it, I guess it is an ethnic channel for a language I can't quite recognize, Roman alphabet, but words look like the language is from somewhere in Southern Asia.

I'm not aware of any such community in the Detroit market.

Now I am not sure exactly what it is. If there is any sign of religious or a selling crap channel...poof...it’s gone.

Right now they are playing the movie "Total Recall" --- So, not a religious channel.

FAVE TV has launched as of December 14 across the CBS Owned and Operated stations group.
It is only available over the air (ch. 62.4), with a collection of ViacomCBS content like Paramount movies and off-cable programming.
BTW, the name is similar to that of a religious broadcaster/website, but not connected with it.

I had deleted them, but added them back after I saw this comment. Hope they do end up with some good content!

Yeah it is kind of a weird launch, no programming guide, no listings on TitanTV, No webpage. Shares the name of a "Family Friendly" aka Religious channel from Angel One on the Dish Network, but is completely different.

Makes since to leverage the ViacomCBS content, they own it might as well use it, but the branding is strange since it is already in use.
