Cool TV and informercials

I used to get it until Sinclair dropped it from all of their stations. I believe they weren't paying Sinclair or something.
I say they'll be gone by the end of the year...

I dont understand why it costs so much to run a video music channel with no air talent.MTV finally came out and said why they dont do it and went in the direction of white trash television.How is cheaper to produce the crap on MTV than just plug in a computer and randomly play music.
WMYA in Greenville, SC has 40.2 blank with TCN on 40.3. Would be nice if they picked up Antenna TV or Movies! (whenever FOX makes it available to outside affiliates).
Sinclair didn't have Cool TV in Milwaukee, since Journal Broadcasting carried the network, until they dropped it. They ended up replacing Cool TV for Livewell Network, since Weigel Broadcasting already had the Milwaukee rights to MeTV & This TV. WITI (Local TV LLC) already carries Antenna TV. So if Sinclair can carry anything, they might be able to carry the new Movie channel that Weigel is programming for Fox O&O stations, & might offer to affiliates outside of Fox O&O territories that might not even be a Fox affiliate (not sure how that'll work yet). I'm just curious how The Country Network is doing, since Sinclair did pick up that network in Milwaukee. Too bad it never saw the light of day in Chicago, as I would have liked to see what they had to offer in programming.
