MeTV Arizona is moving to different channel

Well, no switch over happened at midnight like KAZT claim it would. 7.2 is still MeTV and Channel Lineup on Channel 40 hasn't changed yet. Guess the MeTV Channel switch will happen at a later time tonight.
 
This morning, I watched the last-ever MeTV programming on channel 7.2. This tv show called Harry O. After this show is over, this channel flip from MeTV Arizona to More Arizona.

Here is the flip on Channel 7.2:

I would like Weigel Broadcasting Company to make the deal with Trinity Broadcasting Network of Arizona to trade broadcast facilities with KPAZ-TV Channel 21 Phoenix, KMEE-TV Kingman Channel 6 and KMEE-LD Channel 40 Phoeniz.

This deal will never happen. TBN refuse to sell full-power television station to other companies.

MeTV has added a KMEE page to their website.

Also, there is now a MORE! Arizona page on the CW7AZ website and they are having a Ladmo Bag Sweepstakes!
I entered for the Ladmo Bag. WARNING: I would not click on the entry for the $10,000. After you enter your info, you are bombarded with one endless product offer after another. In other words, be prepared to be spammed to death!

You'll probably win, given you're one of the few who knows about the channel! :ROFLMAO:
 
I'm surprised they didn't take the opportunity to move KMEE-LD to major channel 6, where it'd be in an advantageous position for channel flipping.
Probably a combination of being a low-powered channel that much of the valley cannot receive well or at all, and that some, especially in the SE Valley, can receive KUAT Tucson on Channel 6.x. I used to pick it up quite well in Ahwatukee (San Tan Mountain blocks Tucson here in NE Mesa).

The overlap between KMEE-LD and KUAT precludes KMEE-LD from using virtual 6.

Today, I watched a MeTV public affairs program on KMEE-LD Channel 40.1 called Arizona and Me.This program is hosted by former KPHO and KNXV anchor Cary Pfeffer. In addition, former MeTV affiliate KAZT Channel 7.2 does not broadcast this program.

This program has been broadcast on KMOH-TV MeTV for a few years, but not on KAZT MeTV Arizona. Technically this is the first time the show is broadcast OTA and on Cox in the Phoenix area, although it was already on DirecTV and Dish Network in the Phoenix area since those providers carried the KMOH feed.

The funny thing is KUAT also broadcast KHRR on Virtual Channel 40, so there is still overlap on Virtual 40. I just realized this after a person in Mesa posted on Reddit that their TV shows Channel 40.1 airing Svengoolie (from MeTV), but was showing Dubbed Dateline (from Telemundo), which means they are receiving KHRR 40.1 off of KUAT from Tucson but their TV is showing the Listing for KMEE-LD from Phoenix, which is what they would rather watch. https://www.reddit.com/r/MeTV/s/ppTaEYQZTO

I'm ass-u-me-ing that this Mesa viewer is able to bypass San Tan Mountain and can pick them up. Most of Mesa cannot, at least not east of downtown. The west side might be able to.
 
Here in L.A., Weigel has been pretty much forced to keep their simulcast of MeTV on both KAZA (which they own) and KDOC (where it has always been in this market) because in the repack they decided to channel share with their co-owned KHTV ... which is a Class A LPTV and therefore has a signal which drops out if so much as a tall building gets in the way.

I know because I can still receive KDOC, but have never been able to receive KHTV/KAZA ... even though they are on Mount Wilson along with everyone else. And I have a near-perfect line of sight to Wilson at a distance of 22 miles.

Dumb move on their part, IMHO. And unfixable now.
