TV - FOX pulls affiliation from WTVW/Evansville

They are also increasing news programming. It didn't say the source of national coverage, CNN? Maybe they will return to airing mostly uncensored movies late at night. ;D

Thank goodness I can pick up WEVV with an indoor antenna, it doesn't appear Dish will add their subchannel for Fox; for now.

They are using some CNN stories, Rob ... at least it looks that way. How much they'll dip into that well, I don't know. But it's there when they need it.

As of 4:00, there's still no Dish/Fox44 deal, so the antenna will be your only hope for now. You might try to scan and pull in W47EE-D (ch. 47.1). That's Fox44's HD feed. It's a low-power station, but I'm getting it just fine on the SW side of Owensboro with my antenna in the attic.

I saw a CNN package on their news tonight. I live further inside the bowl that is Owensboro's low
elevation, actually the center of the bowl, Channel 47 does register using an indoor antenna but not enough to lock in a signal.

It looks like Channel 7 leaves Fox with Glee, the show that is.

Yeah, they did ... Randy Moore tweeted "Nice knowing you, Rupert" or something very close to that after the 9PM news last night. That was kind of funny!

One thing I noticed this morning is that 44.2 (SD) and 47.1 (HD) are both 16x9 when the programming is in that aspect ratio, and on most of my TV sets, the difference in picture quality is not that dramatic. I'm waiting until tonight to make a final judgment on that (for network show purposes), but I think we'll all be OK regardless.
