We have been contacted by viewers in regards to our network change. We would like to respond to these concerns. We have not renewed our network affiliation with MeTV that is why you see different shows on the air now. With this being said we are still committed to bringing you quality programming as we grow our station. We are really excited about all of our new shows and programming that MeTV could not offer us. In order for us to grow as a station we could not continue rerunning the same programming day after day that MeTV provided us. We are very excited about this change and we can't tell you how much we appreciate you watching KTXD 47!
This is a stunning and sudden development. I can't understand why they would do this.
They even killed off the 47.4 subchannel that carried the full MeTV lineup. Here's what makes this so incredibly stupid: they had actually started to get some very modest but consistent ratings with the MeTV programming. People were starting to find the station. Now, they have just chased away all of that audience with this move. I have no idea what they're running in place of MeTV. I know they'll have a very hard time getting the kind of ratings they had started to get.
