Yeah right.

Plano doesn't have its own TV station.
Biloxi is not in Missouri.
Joplin and Hannibal are not in Montana.
Witcha?
Louisana?
Boiser City?
Hawaii is not in "Mauii".

No recognizable shows in the grid.

I have an EXTREMELY tough time taking this one seriously.
 
I have trouble believing this network is real at all. For one thing, no network has a weekly schedule without at least a few hours of infomercials unless they're run by Weigel or Tribune. Also, a show called Ghetto Court would be slammed off the air by the NAACP and every organization imaginable before it even got to film an episode, and all the other shows on their schedule sound like ridiculous concepts (Presidential Musical? Huh?).

Sounds like someone trying to create another badly done hoax network, except this time it got caught before it got to Wikipedia. The only sub channel this network is going on is a badly-rated UStream channel ::).

LOOK OUT LIVE WELL & NBC NONSTOP......YOU GOT COMPETITION

Appears to be a lot of self-made-produced, low-budget, from a garage type programs.
Most likely a sub-channel (coming to many large and small cities by August).

You guys are SOOOOOOOOO right on this....

Actually, I can't wait to watch "A Taste of Hunney," "Get Thee Behind Me," and "Heavy Sedation."

Also, I love the misspelling on the title of press release, "Punch TV is Redifining Urban America."

Golly, Moses...
 
Believe it or not, it actually had a feed up and running on Galaxy 19 a few months ago. Not sure if it's still there, and too lazy to move my dish to look for it.

DIRECTV was going to carry this channel nationwide but it back-date tba. I guess Punch TV wanted to go to OTA stations. I see Tallahassee Florida is on the list but Im not sure what channel in Tallahassee will carry it. I dont see Antenna TV coming to Tallahassee utill Antenna TV looks into small markets as they stick with the big city markets.

Just a hunch, but I suspect these aren't broadcast stations. I'd bet it's a list of places where the channel will be available on cable in August.

Ghetto Court looks funny to watch.
 
Currently on the Punch TV Ku feed: a blank screen with no audio.

Punch's response -- a threat of a lawsuit for $600,000 for each and every instance of complaint, which would put the complainer and literally all future generations to the end of time forever in their debt.

Two words if this channel ever starts broadcasting wide -- don't watch. If they're going to be so pompous about it, they don't deserve our business.
 
Gawd. This network sounds like the focus of an SNL skit...

How about we watch it through pirated streams? ::)

Someone in Tallahassee is trying to start a religious channel:

A Google search shows that the producers share an office building with many other businesses -- kind of small to start up a new network, don't you think?

Looking at the Craigslist entry, it has skepticism written all over it.
