What will/should Fox do with My Network TV?
- Thread starter zeebre12

I'm not sure but I think I am referring to the frequency, not the station. I should have said it that way. This is explained in other posts.
And I suppose waiting until the move takes place to get an outdoor antenna is a good idea.
That will depend on how many affiliates are still interested in paying the affiliate fees and how much ad revenue it brings in on the network side There are so many similar 'dot' channels out there now for stations to choose from, there is a lot of competition.
The two main affiliates of MyNetworkTV are the Fox duopoly stations WWOR and KCOP. Fox obviously needs prime time programming for those stations. So strategically, the programming on those stations will likely determine the future of the network. Having said that, when Fox sold assets to Disney, it retained MyNetworkTV. So they must have a plan of some sort.
I must respectfully disagree considering for a few years both affiliates moved the MyNet programming to later in the night so they can show syndicated programming. They have since moved it back to primetime (as of right now). Here in Minneapolis WFTC (another FOX O&O duopoly) has pushed MyNet programming back to 10-midnight Central time so they could show a 7pm news and then syndicated programming. They have been "off pattern" for 3 years now. I know there are some other larger MyNet duopolies do the same.
They dont even brand it as MyNetwork or "My__" anymore. Its FOX9+ here in Minneapolis. Phoenix is My10Xtra, Dallas is Fox4More, DC is Fox 5 Plus, Portland is Fox 12 Plus. Some larger affiliates just use their callsign for branding (KRON) or have a cute name like "22 the point", "Star 64", "The ATL"

Not a duopoly market, but for 2018-2019, WPHL in Philly dumped the My Network shows to the middle of the night. They'd dipped their toes in that previously, pushing an hour of programming two times per week to overnight to make way for Celebrity Name Game, but this year, the whole thing got moved to the insomniac special to make way for the likes of Mom, Blackish and Goldbergs. Concurrently, the branding went away, though it still maintains a similar box and color palette.
To Kelly A's point, is there a value to what that costs vs. just filling those hours with more low-budget reruns? Chalk enough markets off the list, and naturally that calculus begins to shift.

IF local stations would go back to syndicated reruns, movies, and sports then I would be for dropping My Network or ending it completely. But there are too many stations that would probably go to more trash talk, courtroom shows, and infomercials, and in those cases I'd rather see them stay with My Network even though I might not watch it.
Part of the confusing nature of MyNetwork programming is the titles in 2019 are familiar as either NBC or CBS shows. Law & Order, Dateline, CSI, and others in the schedule could be confused as off-net reruns or syndication. But they're part of the network program offering.
I don't know about other "Fox+" stations but the Phoenix version (OTA 45.1 or Cox 9) is a loser. The only program of any value it airs occurs at 10AM local when it goes to a streaming version of "current" news. Usually that means it just locks on to a sat feed of some politician (usually You-Know-Who) bleating his or her version of what happened lately. They tend to join the speech already in progress and unless it contains some inflammatory language they depart before it is over. Mostly worthless except to employ their news readers for another 2 hours per day.
The rest of their programming is even worse than the mother ship if that is possible. Given the generally terrible programming and/or signals of the LP subs in this market "Fox+" could provide much more quality programming. Why it doesn't is a huge question.

KICU-TV also airs Fox 2 News at 7 that's produced by the main Fox O&O's KTVU Fox 2 News.
WMYT is an O&O yet they bump the programming to 11pm-1am in favor of Modern Family and Big Bang Theory reruns...and I can’t say I blame them. Basically another independent to rival WAXN.
Who is the hot blonde on "Dateline"? My 12 shows a photo with a black guy and a blonde girl when advertising the show.

You gotta consider another thing though Fox Corp (The Murdoch) owned outlet just had a deal with Bento Box Studios. How that affects Fox and My Network is yet to be seen though.
I would label it FOX AMERICA like WGN AMERICA executives give me credit if you use that please thank you.
It depends: Ten years ago stations were taking a chance with running old classic TV shows and movies on their 'dot-two, or three' channels. Most of the costs were co-op, so local stations had very little downside being able to sell several breaks in an hour. After a couple years, stations started to see actual revenue from their low/no cost ancillary digital channels, so they added that revenue to budget predictions. This became even easier when the FCC forced dot-two must carry on local cable and satellite providers. More recently stations re-play their syndicated and paid programs on their 'dot' channels, because they're getting more bang for the syndicated buck by airing the same show on multiple channels. If stations are able to re-purpose programming that they've already paid for, then classic TV and movie networks are less relevant.
You talking about that one grill Andrea Canning?
Although I could be wrong as there is a lot of different hosts for dateline.
