Channel 35 digital

When WYBE goes dark, where will RT end up? For the last few weeks, they've been promoting the fact that they are now on Direct TV Channel 321.

What about Mind TV and France TV? Will anyone pick them up? Should anyone pick them up?

Edit: https://www.mindtv.org/tv-channels/

For the most part, essentially MindTV = WYBE ch. 35 operations. MindTV will become non-existent at the end of the broadcast day on November 3rd.

35.3 – France24: Covering international news and current events from a French perspective. Moving to WLVT Public Television (channel 39) in October, 2017. Date to be determined.

35.4 – RT: Provides a Russian perspective on major global events. Terminating Nov. 3, 2017

Is that how they promote themselves? I usually watch the American perspective that they air from 4 Eastern to 10 Eastern. Also, seems typical that Mind and France 24 have been getting crawls all month about the future of those 2 networks, yet nothing is being said about RT's future. RT says it is heavily viewed on the net. Seems their Philly viewers will need to join that group.
 
I noticed that. I wrote to them for a clarification, and got an automated reply. Their webpage says that 35.1 is still OTA, but will be ending at a future date to be determined. I guess the bad weather stopped them, yet again, and since they were going to stop broadcasting this Friday, and they decided to not bother fixing the signal for less than a full week.
 
Thanks Fakeem. Now I wonder if the thirty-fives will be filled with somethi8ng else....hopefully not more shopping or religion.

I just got a proper email from WYBE and it seems it was a technical issue. They claim 35.1 will be back on the air soon, but I believe their original statement about going off the air at a "to be determined" future date.

From what I read, they sold the license back to the FCC, so I doubt there will be a format change until the official and complete shut down.

I'm still seeing RT on Verizon Fios channel 478. Did they suddenly hook up with another provider?
