Thanks Dave, for the great information......

Appreciate your time and effort bringing
us the latest news and information.
Many Thanks!
 
The rumor I'm hearing is that Bounce will not move to KTVW 33.4 until September, and Buzzr doesn't hit KUTP 45.3 until December.

I haven't been able to verify the rumor.
 
Yes, and RabbitEars.info has it at 45.3, replacing BounceTV, which is moving to Univision sometime this year. Truth is, no one knows yet.
