More changes at Buffalo micro-power UHFs

Don't look now (unless you happen to have a good UHF antenna) but the MTV2 station on channel 56 from Buffalo is now running Home Shopping Network full time, and the channel 15 LPTV on Grand Island apparently has ended its deal to relay Springville channel 67, and is relaying Jamestown's UHF 26 again.

This happened in Rochester with Channel 38 (formerly on Channel 15) a while ago. There are two shopping channels on adjoining LPTV alloctaions, 36 and 38 in Rochester (a waste of 1000 watts IMHO since both of them duplicate cable services).
Very few LPTVs are being used to provide low cost alternative local service or specialized programming the way they were originally intended. About the only one in Rochester that offers something is WBGT, the UPN affiliate which uses an LPTV transmitter on Channel 40 from the Colfax Street tower it shares with Warm 101.3 and 'Buzz' 98.9.
