Yes I realize this is not a radio topic, but as Delaware broadcast media is so insignificant, figured many here might not check the Philly TV thread so re-posted here for your convenience.
Apparently it has been on the air since the beginning of the year, but last night KJWP channel 2 Wilmington-Philly made its debut on Comcast - New Castle County - Wilmington as a ME TV affiliate. If I understood what has been said in other threads on this new station, they plan to eventually offer some local programming and news. I guess time will tell if that happens, and will the news just be another Philly oriented newscast or a more Wilmington / Delaware focused newscast? Obviously the other commercial Wilmington TV station channel 61 WPPX ION TV doesn't air any local programming or news, so it's not a requirement, but would be nice. I guess the bigger question would be can KJWP make money airing a Delaware focused newscast? For those looking for the Weather Channel on Comcast NCC-Wilmington, it's been moved to channel 55.
