ME-TV COMING TO KCTU 43 WICHITA, KANSAS

According to Wikipedia this will be Me-TV's 6th affiliate. The station already has THIS-TV, Untamed Sports and FamilyNet/My Family TV on 3 other sub channels.

Me-TV added two stations this month.
18.3 WCCB Charlotte March 1st
25.4 WOLO Columbia,SC March 4th

Both stations are owned by Bahakel Communications
 
Actually, they already did. And dropped it.

From their Facebook page in January:

"After we signed the contract, and run the trial period, METV came back and wanted to alter the terms of the contract. The changes were not ones KCTU could live with. Negotiaations are ongoing, but at this time, it's not llooking like METV will play here. We are currently looking for alternatives for programming, and will constantly strive to bring superior shows to our viewers."

Wikipedia can sometimes be a good source, if one uses that as the launch pad for further investigation through more proper sources.
 
Maybe they reached an agreement, because the post was new on Wikipedia on FEB. 5th.

ME-TV let's go after a large market now. How about WTBS 26 or WANN 32 in Atlanta? They
are sister stations and both showing THIS-TV. WTBS just signed on in January. I'd think they
would be an easy sell.
 
Ok, it's back off Wikipedia now. Just strange how a network that needs affiliates would suddenly want to change the contract.........especially with a station already running Weigels THIS-TV???

As you no doubt know, ANYONE can edit Wikipedia.

DISCLOSURE: I was the one who corrected it there.

We don't know the whole deal. It could be the fault of either party. And I'm sure Weigel's story is a bit different. Who's right? Who knows? Often it comes down to misunderstandings or differences. That, and some of these small station owners can be a bit flaky.
