Aside from the Fat Albert cartoons and reruns of Soul Train this network is a bore. Same old movies over and over again. I swear "To Kill a Mockingbird" has been on at least a dozen times since the network launched.

 

[gregg75]

You said it Marc. I have yet to watch a movie on there. I have glanced at Soul Train
and that's about it. They need to branch out and grab some shows.

For Chicago, Weigel Broadcasting ended up affiliating with them, & placed them on one of their weaker signals, WWME-LD 23.2 instead of placing U Too on 23.2, & put Bounce on WCIU 26.2. Since putting up new antennas, WWME-LD doesn't always stay in. So I'm not sure I'm really missing anything.

How long till they realize you can't live on macaroni and cheese 24/7? It works for THIS-TV
but it doesn't work for Bounce.

We're still waiting for them to Bounce into L.A. :

WLOX dropped ThisTV for Bounce TV on 13.3 and kept the 24/7 weather channel on 13.2

I was hoping Comcast Cablevision of Mobile (Alabama) would make a deal with WLOX-TV to bring ThisTV programs from their signal into Mobile County, since WFGX-TV (licensed to Fort Walton Beach, Florida) does not broadcast all programs from ThisTV. Now I wish WFGX-TV would broadcast all programs from ThisTV on a sub-channel and broadcast some ThisTV programs main channel for occasional simulcasts in an arrangement similar to the one for WKFK-TV in Pascagoula, Mississippi with all programs from the Retro Television Network (RTV) on one sub-channel and a mixture of RTV and ION Television programs on their main channel.

Here are the addresses to the listings of programs for the channels of WLOX-TV and WKFK-TV:
