MY NETWORK TV EXPANDS, ADDS 5 MILLION NEW HOUSEHOLDS

[gregg75]

Can you believe MNT is expanding? Seems like it should be going in the other direction.

They will soon have new affiliates in
Detroit
Houston
Fresno
Miami
Key West
Hilton Head (SC)
St. George (UT)
Melbourne (FL)

Expansion into Melbourne, FL? They're already served by WRBW out of Orlando OTA and via Bright House cable. Do you have a link to the PR about this?

Wait...MY doesn't have an affiliate in Detroit? Aren't they a top 20 market? ???

And aren't Houston and Miami in the top 10? Perhaps the list means *new* in the sense that they are moving to a different affiliate.

OOOOOOPS! I tried to correct, but Radio-info went into YESTERDAY mode.

It's My Family TV (a religious network). So, My Network TV is just as sorry as it ever was.

 

[DToTheJ]

So I guess that's why you subconsciously wrote "MNT" in addition to writing out "My Network TV" in the subject line? :

At any rate, I echo Byron's request alone... link?

 

[gregg75]

No! It's my link and you just can't have it.......you just can't have it. Go get your own link. ;D

No! It's my link and you just can't have it.......you just can't have it. Go get your own link.

Don't be selfish...

My Family TV is not a religious network anymore, now there just a entertainment network.

Yes, it does. WMYD/20. And Detroit is a Top 20 market; it is #10, according to Rabbit Ears.info.

I wouldn't mind seeing My Family TV come to the Chicago market. There seem to be plenty of shows that would interest me. The only station I could see picking up this network would be WJYS (if they were interested), as they have the bandwidth available. Weigel has maxed out the bandwidth on WCIU, & not sure what all they have planned for WWME-LD. Plus, they're busy getting affiliates signed up for MeTV. So I don't see them picking it up. The 4 networks won't pick it up (ABC & NBC have no bandwidth available, while Fox & CBS don't want subchannels, especially CBS). Tribune has Antenna TV & not wanting a competing network on WGN-TV. With all the problems that Polnet has with RTV on WPVN-LD (only with RTV, & not the other subchannels, including Polvision), I'm not sure I'd want them to pickup My Family TV. I definitely don't see Ion Media picking up this network either as a portion of the network competes with both Ion TV & Ion Life.

Actually My Network has been in Fresno from the start on KAIL 7, MNT was added when KAIL lost UPN to the merger with WB and KMPH 26 got the CW network.

If you read what's above, the original poster made a mistake.

"Monk" is my favorite show right now. I also enjoy "Don't Forget the Lyrics", both in prime time and in the afternoon. I don't have time for "Are You Smarter Than a Fifth-Grader" and never did, but I'm sure I'd enjoy it.

My Family TV has been in Phoenix on KPHE-LD 44.4 for several months now. I have yet to see anything on the channel of interest to me. The schedule on their website confirms nothing I'd go out of my way to watch. Still, more choice is good - I'm sure something on there interests someone.

Even though the station is general entertainment, the morning hours are still mostly Christian teaching and devotional programs.

 

[gregg75]

Some of the people running these "networks" you've never heard of, it makes you wonder
if they used to manage a doughnut shop. If they call that entertainment..............then call
them an ambulance.

 

[HoustonListener]

So what are the new affiliates? I live in Houston, so I am particularly interested in hearing which station will carry this network in Houston.

The CW actually went to KFRE/59. KMPH/26 is the Fox station in Fresno.

Yes very true I realized my mistake, but it was to late to fix my post, KFRE 59 is the sister station to KMPH 26 and shares the same building.
