Get Ready For Yet Another Affiliation Switch...

That's crazy. I assume the cable company and other providers will make sure viewers get ABC without having to get a premium package that includes subchannels. It is ABC, after all.

Though at the beach (Florence/Myrtle Beach, SC), motel TVs don't have My Network, which is on a subchannel there.
 
cable companies probably wont even switch the channel number. I know satellite wont and in previous examples where a major network is on a sub (Gray has been doing this for over a year now) nothing changed off the "legacy" channel number. The "new" station (that lost the affiliation) will get a new cable channel number. Lifeline cable will still get the locals and the subchannels.

Looking at cable in Johnson City, ABC is on 9 (1009 HD) and My Neytwork (which WKPT is changing to) is already on 15. I see WAPK (which is the actual station...WKPT is simulcasting it right now) is carried in HD (not in HD on WKPT) but cable doesnt have a HD feed. That may change.

All that changes is the folks who get it OTA
