Quote from: Doug Mohr;44540Too bad you can't have competing affiliates in the same city. I can see the billboards now. "Milwaukee's newest CBS station, HD-29. Pure HD, no sub channels." :guitar:

Ooooo. . . I like that idea a lot.  

I always thought that there should be an exception for anyone who's local station chooses to multicast, allowing them to get network programming from any other out-of-market affiliate.  The only problem is that it would require some kind of rebroadcast, which would probably end up being downrezzed (ala satellite transmissions today).

It's very sad that we have finally reached the HD age, only to have the promised quality yanked away from us due to multicasting.  And worse, for people not to care or notice.

I call it the "iTunes Paradox." Speed of delivery and marketing instead of quality :bang:

They started showing teasers this weekend, and from the looks of it most of the shows that will be on METV are already on WMLW! What gives? Is WMLW going to be repurposed?

Me-TV on channel 58-3 is now airing a 1 hour promo preview of their channel on a hourly basis.  They are basically airing the beginning themes with the credits that start the shows along with the time and day.  Its a 1 hour promo airing every hour.

Its to start in March. I wonder of perhaps this Saturday?:)
