DALLAS INDY (KFWD) TO BECOME MUNDOFOX AFFILIATE

I am guessing this will become the digital .2 broadcast on most Fox affiliates
 
@Freddy: Last I checked, here in New York, both WNYW and WWOR's .2 channels consisted of... an exact duplicate of their .1 channels. Gun to my head, I'd say MundoFox ends up on WWOR-9.2.

I think that channel 5.2 is actually the subchannel from WWOR and the channel 9.2 is actually the subchannel from WNYW. Each station has the other one on its .2 subchannel even though it maps to the other virtual channel.
 
Just curious whether WPGH-53 will get this on .2 or continue with the country music.
The Hispanic population of Pittsburgh is so small it might not make sense to do that
unless Fox is pushing for it.

I read that Fox wanted affiliates. Maybe Fox will try to get WRNN and WTVE for New York and Philadelphia. Philadelphia is actually way down in priority for clearances, but the owner of WRNN could clear both markets.
 
Seriously? D/FW needs another Hispanic station like a submarine needs a screen door.

This is absurd. There are, at least the last time I checked, 88 digital channels in the D/FW market (including subchannels), and many of them are either music, Hispanic (or other ethnicity) programming, or color bars. TV has turned into a hodgepodge of mediocrity. When there were only three networks and a handful of stations in each market, each station had to try harder to be excellent. Now they don't even try. And by fragmenting the market even further, TV in general runs the risk of making itself irrelevant.

Since WRNN and WTVE are not commonly owned I'm not sure how this is the case.

Well this is a bummer.
Good thing the shows that are on 52 are also on 33.2 (AntennaTV) and 47(MeTV)

I'm actually not too surprised, KFWD kinda seems to be an afterthought of Belo.

But we sure didn't need another Spanish TV station.

If anything DFW has too many TV stations.
 
I tend to agree unless we start seeing a migration away from cable & satellite and toward broadcast & streaming. Then all these channels could be put to good use.
