New subchannels on 49 WBME

[Will]

I noticed my DVR tuner found three new subchannels for channel 49 today.  49.2 and 49.3 said something like "future use" and show only a color pattern, and 49.4 is Telemundo.  I wonder if they might take the subchannels off of 58?  Not likely, but what other channels could they add?  NCAA for March Madness?  Interesting...

I did a re-scan and picked up the new subchannels OTA. Ideally, WMLW will be on 49.2, This TV on 49.3, and Telemundo 63 as is on 49.4. That way, WDJT-DT will have the entire bandwidth for HD on 58.1. Before any of this is done, however, WBME would have to increase it's power for more reliable reception throughout the area, which I believe they plan on doing sometime.

I heard in Chicago they have Me-TV, Me-Too TV and a Me-TV Spanish sub channel, maybe these added sub channels could be for bringing these to Milwaukee in the future.

I just found them today. Looks like I can see the "Future" as well.

According to a source, 49.4 will be (if not already) Telemundo.

I'm guessing 58's digital signal will only have 58.1 within a few days.

No Me-tv Spanish subchannel, but an entirely seperate foriegn language channel, FBT.
