Changes at WPXN - Channel 31

S

stationless listener

As many of you know by now, Scripps is going to drop Ion Plus and Qubo by the end of this month. What we don't know is when their replacements will arrive. The Katz Networks channels currently are under contract with several other stations in the city. While Laff is already airing on one of its subchannels, we still don't know whether that means that it will leave WABC and WJLP starting in March or whether the contractual arrangements with those channels can't be broken for the time being. I am not keen on one network taking up space at three different stations. That is space that could be used for more interesting programming.
 
Well, there's finally an answer, courtesy of Rabbitears.info.

31.2 will change to Grit
31.3 will change to Court TV Mystery
31.4 will change to Court TV
31.5 will remain Laff
31.6 will remain HSN

I thought both HSN and QVC will go away. I guess HSN will keep on until they're able to move Bounce TV to that spot.

This also means that over-the-air TV will suck for the next few years as the same multicast networks take up various valuable spots. We don't need multiple channels for Laff, Grit, HSN, QVC or more infomercials.
 
I haven't found info to confirm this but, according to a poster at another website, WPXN will make further changes to its lineup on July 1st to make way for Scripps' new diginets, TrueReal and Defy TV.

31.4 will change from CourtTV to Defy TV
31.6 will change from HSN to TrueReal

Still no word whether Newsy would appear on WPXN. CourtTV will continue to air on 11.3.
