Channels That You Watch

I only watch TV OTA, so these are the channels I watch from Gary Indiana (Chicago market)

2.1 - WBBM-TV (CBS) - Watch for certain programming, but mostly syndicated shows

5.1 - WMAQ-TV (NBC) - Only watch for 1 network show & the rest for syndicated shows

7.1 - WLS-TV (ABC) - Watch some network shows, but mostly for the syndicated shows & the local news
7.2 - Livewell Network - Only watch Motion & Advice For Life (maybe Let's Dish)

9.1 - WGN-TV (CW) - Only watch this channel for the news & syndicated shows (absolutely despise the CW network)
9.2 - Antenna TV - Nice to have some competition in the classic TV programming

11.1 - WTTW (PBS) - Mostly watch this channel on weekends, as there's little programming I like during the week
11.2 - WTTW Prime - An extension of the WTTW programming in different timeslots (no childrens programming on this channel) & shows that might not otherwise be shown on WTTW 11, due to lack of available timeslots. WTTW programs this channel in-house & not part of World (a PBS subchannel network). Just wish this channel were widescreen & not fullscreen with letterboxed widescreen programming.
11.3 - Create - Like the DIY & home improvement shows, plus some cooking shows

20.1 - WYCC (PBS) - Like certain programming that isn't carried on WTTW
20.3 - MHZ Worldview - Watch this channel for certain news segments & other programming that isn't seen anywhere else (English language programming only)

23.1 - WWME-LD (MeTV) - I can pick up this channel OTA, & sometimes watch MeTV. I however liked MeTV better when it was local.

26.1 - WCIU (Ind - The U) - Like most shows on this channels & one of the best stations in Chicago.
26.2 - The U Too - An extension of WCIU's programming in different timeslots, plus some sports & other shows that aren't shown on The U
26.3 - MeTV - This is a simulcast of WWME-LD, and on WCIU in order to reach the entire market, where WWME-LD does not.
26.4 - MeToo - Used to be drama only, but now the local MeTV, after MeTV went nationwide, & all Sony shows were moved to MeToo. Currently a simulcast to analog WMEU-CA 48, but will soon be a simulcast on their digital channel
26.5 - This TV - Only watch if there's a good movie on, or in the overnight hours, might watch one of the older TV shows.

32.1 - WFLD (Fox) - Watch mainly for Family Guy, Cleveland Show, American Dad, Cops, & a syndicated show or 2

38.1 - WCPX (Ion) - Only watch if there's a good movie. Otherwise I don't watch this channel at all.
38.2 - Qubo - Only watch for He-Man & She-Ra during Qubo Night Owl.
38.3 - Ion Life - I'll watch this channel when I'm bored. I've seen nearly every episode of certain shows on this channel.

48.1 - WMEU-LD (MeToo) - Technically not on the air yet, but the channel is being tested before MeToo programming moves to teh digital side. I expect to get this station even better than WWME-LD once it's on the air.

50.1 - WPWR-TV (My Network TV) - Only watch if there's a syndicated show I like. Otherwise, this channel is a complete waste. Was better programmed under Newsweb Corp. than under Fox, which turned it into s dumping ground for their programming.

56.1 - WYIN (PBS) - Watch for many of the PBS shows that already air on WTTW & WYCC, but also watch the local news (their news is for NW Indiana only & not so much for Chicago).

For OTA channels I get some of the time or ever night from South Bend Indiana:

16.1 - WNDU (NBC) - Will watch for a syndicated show & their news at 11pm ET (10pm CT). Too bad 16.2 is a simulcast, or it could be used for some useful programming. Also the most difficult channel to get since they moved to RF 42.

22.1 - WSBT (CBS) - Watch for the South Bend news & some syndicated programming (maybe a network program or 2 too)
22.2 - SBT2 - (Ind) - Used to be UPN, but now all locally programmed with syndicated shows, & high school sports not seen anywhere else. Only full power station with a subchannel with any programming. Also, they have a 10pm ET news on this channel to compete with WSJV news at 10pm ET. WSBT comes in every night.

28.1 - WSJV (Fox) - It varies on my reason to watch WSJV over WFLD. Only comes in sporadically, due to their directional signal to protect WCIU & WMAQ-TV in Chicago

34.1 - WNIT (PBS East HD) - This is the national PBS feed in HD
34.2 - WNIT (PBS) - locally programmed PBS, but half the time, they're on the bird with 34.1, & all widescreen programming simulcasting from 34.1 gets chopped off the sides. Also, WNIT can't afford to upgrade to HD at the local level, which is why WNIT is in SD. I however don't understand why they don't just have WNIT on the main channel & move the national PBS in HD to the subchannel. WNIT varies from day to day or week to week, due to being the weakest full power signal of all 5 South Bend full power stations.
 
CBS - Love my Price Is Right at 9am Mountain, great way to mindlessly get my day off with a cup of coffee. Something very addictive about this show.
Also, will watch Letterman at night if I know he is "same-day", otherwise, will switch to Leno.

CNN - Can't miss Anderson Cooper's 360 at 8pm Mountain to see if he has something breaking, or something in depth that is interesting.

MSNBC - Used to be there for Olbermann, not because I agreed with him, but it was just good tv. Still have the habit of checking O'Donnell, but most times find myself tuning out at some point unless he teases something interesting.

TVland - Absolutely love All In The Family, but let's face it some episodes are much better than others. Titan's listings are excellent, and I can usually tell which espisodes I want to see.

VH1 - Love their SNL repeats.

Sports---wherever I can find my teams, usually ESPN, but sometimes ROOT.
 
Very little of the nets and PBS-sometimes the news.
On cable its Discovery, History, Nat Geo, TWC, TGC, MLB, ESPN and 2, NESN, and an occasional movie or reality show like Tru TV on Ch 999 with the commercials fast forwarded.
Or watching someone gorge themselves-it's be fun to have the bathroom channel so see what goes in....
