Classic TV Trifecta!

S

Stanislav

My local WKMG recently dropped Latin-themed LATV from its 6.2 subchannel in favor of RTV (which had once been on WRDQ 27.2 before that channel switched to Antenna TV). This means that RTV, Antenna TV, and ME-TV (WESH 2.2) are now all available OTA (I dropped cable years ago) in the Orlando market.

Classic TV Nirvana! Though there are a handful of more recent shows that I enjoy, my TV spends most of its time parked on one of these three channels. (A sure sign that I'm getting old, I guess...)

Who else has all three of these channels available OTA in their market?
 
Houston does (or did). Me-TV airs on KUBE 57.4, AntennaTV on Tribune's KIAH 39.2.

RTV had been airing on KUVM-34.2. It may very well still be...all I'm seeing is a black screen and my converter box says it's having trouble tuning it in. As recently as a few weeks ago, I was getting the programming, albeit poor quality, on 3 of the 4 streams (34.1 has been blank for a while).

WKMG's sister, KPRC-2, dropped LATV as well. Right now they're just running bars and tone on 2.3 (ThisTV airs on 2.2), but since the other PNS stations have picked up Me-TV, I'm wondering if they may steal the service from KUBE-57.

And like you, I don't have cable...and honestly, since there's a good number of OTA stations in Houston offering decent programming, I don't really miss it much. Especially not the extra expense!
 
Cleveland:
Antenna TV-WJW-TV 8.2
MeTV-WOIO-19.2
RTV-WAOH-CA 29-WAX/LP-35 Cleveland-Akron (Northern Part of the Cleveland Market)

WIVM-LP 39 and Translators Canton/New Philadelphia, Ohio (Southern Part of the Cleveland Market)
 
Miami-Ft. Lauderdale has had Antenna TV since its debut; we're getting "Me" in 2 days; if tropospheric conditions are good enough, WKMG does come in here---it's by far the easiest Orlando one to catch.

It was not long ago, our LPTV 38 WPMF was running MyFamilyTV (sister to RTV)---I don't know what happened, but I think its owner pulled the plug on it. I got a kick out of Celebrity Bowling....bell-bottom city.

Seattle trifecta too...

RTV-KIRO DT2 [7.2]
Antenna TV-KZJO DT3 [22.3]
MeTV-KVOS 12 in Bellingham.

Los Angeles as well...

KTLA 5.2--Antenna TV
KFLA-LD 8.1--RTV (signal boost on New Year's Eve expanded its coverage area to cover the rest of southern and central L.A. County)
KDOC 56.3--MeTV (a second station, the just-renamed KVME 20.1, will also carry Me starting next Monday [April 30th])

Just as a toss-in...KTLA 5.3 carries This TV, and KCOP 13.2 is the local outlet for Bounce TV.
