Is it true that Comcast Ch. 12 was...

Is it true that Comcast Ch. 12 was... a satellite of the regular The WB programing along with the broadcast duplicate of Comcast channel 6 until it WBPG (now WFNA) signed on? Back in 2001?

I remember that on Comcast, channel 12 was a duplicate of channel 6,while we air original The WB and Kids' WB programing. That was the first time I seen the Pokemon cartoon which I never seen the more of Pokemon cartoon until 2001. That's back in when WFGX still broadcast the WB for the Florida side and Alabama side don't ever until middle of 2010.

So was I'm right? That channel 12 was a duplicate of channel 6, airing The WB and Kids' WB programs until WBPG (A WB affiliate) took over in 2001?

Edit: Please move the thread somewhere else, I didn't read the subforum title.
 
Yes, Comcast's cable TV system in Mobile used to have The WB's special satellite feed on cable channel 12 during their regular network programming before switching it to cable channel 6's locally-produced leased access programming when the feed had no regular network programming until the station formerly known as WBPG-TV (WFNA-TV) started broadcasting in the year 2001.

Wait, I'd never seen the WB's special satellite feed on channel 12 until I notice it as a duplicate feed of channel 6 until 2001 And when did Comcast first begin airing the WB special feed until 2001? Do you know the year?
 
The cable TV system started providing the special feed in 1999.

Okay, so Comcast of Mobile started the WB special feed on channel 12 in 1999, am I correct?

Yes.

The WB 100+ group started in 1998 when WGN America stopped airing the regular programing.

WGN-TV actually stopped having the regular programming on their national programming feed (later known as WGN America) in 1999.
 
Back then the "official" WB affiliate for Mobile was Pensacola's channel 12, WBQP-LP. I think.
Only customers of Cox cable in Pensacola had access to the local WB until WFGX in Fort Walton picked up the network giving WB cable carriage on most Pensacola/Fort Walton metro cable systems. I think Orange Beach was the only cable system in Bama that carried WFGX before they moved the transmitter to Baldwin County.
Mobile was real late to the game with My Network TV, but then again Ion wound up selling their CP to Daystar and we still haven't gotten an Ion/Pax affiliate.
