KNXV to add ABC's "Live Well" subchannel

E

EricStein

In a group deal, Scripps is adding the ABC-owned lifestyle subchannel network to all of their markets, including KNXV. Does this mean the end of GoAZ Traffic (which I found to be the most useful information subchannel) just to run low-end lifestyle programs with no audience (There's people who want The Cool TV and Me-TV, but we get this instead?)?

If Titan TV is to be believed, that's exactly where KNXV plans to put it.
 
Ah, but as usual, TitanTV is not to be believed. Just got an e-mail from a reliable source within KNXV stating that they will sign off goAZ.TV around 4 AM on Thurs. 9/1 and launch Live Well network around 5 AM on channel 15.2.
 
Channels 3, 5, 10, 12 and 15 will most likely not add more than 1 sub to as not to dilute the PQ of the .1 signal.

Personally, I didn't find the wx/traffic subs very useful and don't even bother scanning for them.
 
Moreover, Live Well is in 720p, IIRC, so KNXV will have two 720p streams. Not much room for anything else - some would debate that there's not even enough room for two 720p streams. We'll see.
 
Live Well is available in 720p, but that doesn't mean it will be in 720p. In face, not one single affiliate of Live Well outside of the ABC O&Os is airing it in HD so far. Belo picked it up on five stations, and all are airing it in SD.

I guess I will be deleting 15.2 from my TV's come Monday. ABC and the stations signing on should realize that Live Well is a very bad business model with bad programming.
 
Didn't plan to be awake at 4 am, but since I was, I tuned in. At 4 am sharp, goAZ.TV disappeared suddenly. Live Well Network appeared in its place about 10 seconds later. It is a 480i feed.
