Youtoo America?

If you had heard of America One, the OTA network that has about one-third of its affiliates in fringe areas of major markets, and the rest on low power sticks spread across the country begging for cable carriage, that network apparently is no more...

If you have heard of Youtoo, a cable network that uses viewers' social media input during commercial breaks, that network apparently has absorbed the remaining programming of America One, thrown in some of their existing programming, and has rebranded as "Youtoo America".

I think this change may have happened on Labor Day (11:59 PM Sunday, August 31) and I was wondering of anyone else had noticed...

The good news is "The Daily Buzz" is finally airing in the Nashville market...the bad news...other than poker, I don't there will be much sports coverage.
 
I didn't hear about this at all, but I actually assume it's the reverse since America One's parent company is still well in business; they run ONE World Sports, which is pretty much building off the sports rights they've built up over the years; it's all been moved over to ONE World and being offered for a small price to get on cable systems; it's actually a really well-done channel with English cricket, Japanese baseball, and loads of overseas 'club network' soccer broadcasts.

Meanwhile, Youtoo pretty much has made every wrong move possible; they botched their way off Charter and other cable systems, some of their content was gone once Revision3 was bought out by Discovery, and most of their other acquired shows have been bought out by the big classic networks or just plain failed. There's one more year to the digital low-power deadline and the loss of many of the 'fun hobby' low-power affiliates they have. So this seems like an orderly wind down of one network which never got the 'social' thing right, and another whose traditional model is disappearing for the better wealth of world sports cable television. Considering Youtoo's space should have died well before the American Life era when it was still the Nostalgia Channel, it's death is years in the making.
