I get the "ION" national feed on my cable. They have started running some public domain stuff again during the day. - I Married Joan, My Little Margie. Maybe they are just plugging them in between times that can't sell to informercials.

When did this happen?

Last I read on this board, the feed of ION provided to cable systems is ION Plus.
 
Directv carries the national feed of ION on ch 305, but I don't see any difference in schedule from that of my local WPXN.
 
What time do the public domain shows come on? I have Time Warner Cable at my other house, so I will check it out when I get back.
 
2 years ago, DirecTV dropped both the national (then) Pax feed and all of the local Pax O&O's because they were mostly carrying infomercials. (Apparently, DirecTV does not like carrying infomercials unless they get paid to do so). After that spat, the national Pax returned with a promise to DirecTV that there would be no infomercials. Thus this special feed came to be. The local O&O's have not returned.
 
They were running the ION Life programming this afternoon on Time Warner Cable, as usual. But again, if they are airing any public domain programming again I'd love to hear what time it comes on.
 
Sorry, I am not home much during the day, so I don't really have any times for you. I just happened to be home the other day had the TV on. The only reason I saw "I" at all is because it is between TV Land and FX on my system. I can tell you when I checked later on there was an informecial on.
 
The Pax/Ion O&O in Boston WBPX 68 is carried on DirecTV here in NH seperately from the national feed on Ch. 305. Strangely enough, the local full-power satellite WPXG 21 Concord NH is not.

And Directv carries WPXN-31 in the NYC market.
