I checked the Comcast listings and WMFP is showing Me-TV programming for Thursday. It's also showing infomercial blocks between 8a-10a and 10p-2a. I thought Me-TV didn't allow affiliates to do that, or is it temporary to burn off whatever is already booked? I'm bummed - no Perry Mason at 11:30p.

Infomercial blocks on WMFP

It's got to be some sort of make-good/contractual issue as I just checked the guide at locatetv and they are running infomercials on Saturday from 6am to 2pm, and from 10pm Saturday Night to Sunday at 2PM, followed by infomercials from 10pm on Sunday Night to 5am Monday morning, followed by the blocks at 6am to 9am.

Just because 62.2 won't have cable clearances right away, it doesn't mean people won't be watching - a lot of folks use OTA digital receivers.
Apparently CT is going to get MeTV, via WSAH-TV 43. I typed in my zip code at MeTV's website and the following popped up...
Needless to say WSAH does have cable and satellite numbers. "MeTV 43" sure does sound good coming off the tongue. But then again, this IS WSAH-TV.

I think it would have been better if RTV stayed on 62.1 and ME-TV went on 62.2 so we could get the full 24 hours of ME-TV. Just like with any station , they don't care what you want . I guess i'll keep my OTA antenna up and watch ME on WMUR 9.2 or WJAR 10.2.
What will be lousy is that shows like "Svengoolie", "Perry Mason", "Twilight Zone" et.al. will be pre-empted for informercials. Glad I can watch OTA on WJAR 10.2 and WMUR 9.2 (while in Manchester). Was hoping to get the entire MeTV schedule on cable on WMFP, but.... this obviously will not be the case. Oh well.......ansky212 said:

I'm in the same boat - I'll keep the ol' rabbit ears up for WJAR 10.2. At least they're not pre-empting 10a-1p ("Perry Mason", "Cannon" and "Hawaii 5-O") yet so I can watch at work.

No speculation, please.

So you know for FACT, not speculation, that MeTV is allowing WMFP (NJR/Titan) to run infomercial blocks on an ongoing basis (Not just temporary) in return for getting the main channel assignment and must-carry slot on the channel?

You think I wouldn't know? http://boards.radio-info.com/smf/index.php?topic=201471.msg1795629#msg1795629
Perhaps you missed the thread where it was announced I work for RTV now. http://boards.radio-info.com/smf/index.php?topic=202267.0
Regardless, wouldn't this comment also count as speculation?

Why would you be allowed to speculate and nobody else?
In fact, aren't many of the comments on Radio-Info rampant speculation anyway?
