For a while, WCIU was running a slide on 26-5 and on WWME-LD 23-3 through 23-8 that said "What's up with THAT?" leading to much speculation of a new network launching. It never did. :)

I remember that very well. That was about a month after the full power analog stations signed off. I forgot how long that lasted. Now if they were willing to eliminate 23.1 & 48.1 from the WCIU feed (makes no sense when they also have both MeTV & MeToo on 26.2 & 26.3), they might have enough bandwidth for another channel or 2. WWME-LD should be mapped to 23.1 & not 23.2 (though I don't receive the WWME-LD signal, not yet at least). Supposedly, Weigel is planning to get their digital signal to MeToo on the air, but on RF 32, due to WHME going back to 46, & WMEU-LD wasn't made a Class A digital station for RF 46 (like the analog is on RF 48, which is a Class A).
 
We've also got Retro TV in Louisville via WBNA-DT8, Channal 8.4...but huge chunks of the market north of the tower can't see WBNA-DT due to severe terrain shielding problems.

Apparently, they were allowed to file a purely theoretical pattern with the FCC, and didn't have V-Soft or some other coverage analysts run hot testing which would have exposed these serious gaps in coverage.
