CW moves in San Diego: XETV to KFMB

Gregg. said:
According to Wikipedia, XETV was bilingual at its sign-on in 1953 and became a fulltime English-language station and ABC affiliate in 1956. That all ends later this year. And all of XETV's news department will be let go. Although KFMB-TV will be hiring a few new people for its CW subchannel, which will air local newscasts 7-9am, 4-5pm and 10-11pm on weekdays. Most of those same times, XETV had local news. XETV will lose its place on Spectrum's cable line up, giving up Channel 6 to this new KFMB-TV subchannel.

I also noticed XEWT 12 does not seem to be carried on Spectrum anymore. It used to run on its over-the-air position at Channel 12. Only a few Mexican stations are carried, all of them aimed at a U.S. audience, XETV CW6, XHDTV My Network 13 and XHAS 33, the Telemundo station, which will also be moving to a U.S. subchannel. You'd think Spectrum would run the Mexican stations that are easy to pick up over the air, someplace on their line up. But they're not even up there in the 1200s where Spectrum runs many subchannels like Cozi and Buzzr.

I'm not sure if Cox Cable carries these Mexican stations. The entire San Diego County seems to be divided between Spectrum and Cox.

And for weekends on the subchannel, probably 10:00-11:00pm too.

I think Cox carries the Mexican-based channels for the US audience as well and I think XEWT 12 is carried there though I'm not so sure.
