ANY NEW CABLE CHANNELS OR DIGITAL SUB-CHANNELS COMING IN 2012?

I don't think we need any NEW channels; I go along with Henry David Thoreau on this. We'd be better off with fewer channels that people actually watch. (HDT didn't order cable; might have had early satellite with the big dishes in the back yard).

A cynic would probably tell Thoreau: "We'd be better off with fewer books that people actually read, and fewer philosophers that people actually listen to." ;D
While this one isn't completely new, it's being reformatted for a national audience. That would be the Nonstop Network. It's currently only found on NBC O&O stations, & programmed for the market they're in. Since Universal Sports is going to a pay TV network, NBC has decided to take Nonstop nationwide, & eventually offer it to stations outside of the NBC O&O group. So Nonstop might appear on a CBS, ABC, or even a Fox affiliate. While I personally don't care for Nonstop now, I just hope NBC is smart enough to not run this network in HD like ABC is on their O&O stations, & run dual 720p HD (both ABC & Livewell Network in HD).

Comcast finally added the HD version of KAIL 7 MNT in Fresno yesterday and is rumered to add Me-tv 43.6 KGMC sometime early next year.
Soap Net is changing to Disney Junior early next year.
Will ".2" network ever see the light of day?
Very unlikely. No one has heard anything new from them in over a year. And surely the diginet market is just about saturated?

Not likely. The station that was gonna start up the .2 network, made the big mistake of selling their full power station(WSFJ) to TBN. They could have leased out the subchannels in order to fund .2, had they kept their full power station. They have a translator (W23BZ) that they broadcast on now, & has affiliated with Bounce. With Antenna TV, MeTV & Bounce already having the rights to most of the libraries, I doubt .2 would even be able to find suitable programming for their network, if they could even get on the air today. That's why their time has come & gone. They (W23BZ) realized that .2 is a lost cause, & decided to affiliate with Bounce, & on the main channel. RTV is struggling to stay on the air after they lost the rights to both the CBS & NBC Universal libraries, plus losing many full power affiliates, & slowly losing low power affiliates as well. For RTV, had Polnet not affiliated with them on WPVN-CD in Chicagoland, RTV would not have seen the light of day in Chicago, because no one else wanted to affiliate with them.
WWE Network may debut as soon as Wrestlemania 28 ends live PPV coverage ('Wrestlemania' being the company's biggest annual event):Jazz_Kat said:

The link I just found mentions a very interesting prospect for wrestling fans: No more paying for 'Backlash' or 'Night of Champions' events on pay-per-view. Instead, these become live event specials for WWE-Net.
