Tribune set to launch Antenna TV

2010-09-28T08:54:00.000-07:00

The Tribune Company, the owner of several large newspapers including the Chicago Tribune and the Los Angeles Times, WGN America cable channel, as well as numerous television stations is about to launch a new digital television network. The new network is set to be called Antenna TV and will air across their entire lineup of stations including their stations in New York (WPIX) and Los Angeles (KTLA).

New Network Called This TV

2009-03-27T22:11:00.000-07:00

This TV is a new television network from MGM that launched a few months ago. The network so far has expanded rapidly and is now in many large markets including Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia, Seattle, Sacramento and Portland.

The network airs older movies from Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer studios as well as some classic television shows like Mr. Ed. While the channel isn't HBO or Shotime it is probably worth having around to check in every so often and perhaps find something interesting or something you have seen in years.

You can find more information about This TV at their web site, This.TV.

Wave of New Stations is Imminent

2009-03-27T21:12:00.000-07:00

In the majority of most television markets there are usually at least ten digital channels on the air. These channels were put on the air by the full-power television stations as required by the FCC. However there will be more digital channels which will slowly be added between now and 2012. These new digital channels will be put on the air by the low-power television stations. The LPTV stations are not required to transition until 2012 but everyday more and more are signing on. In the Phoenix market there are already three LPTV stations on the air. Most of these stations are choosing to forego a high definition signal and choosing to broadcast several standard definition feeds. All these new channel mean more choices for viewers and could be a great alternative to cable and satellite services.

Hawaii Goes Digital Early

2008-10-15T22:38:00.000-07:00

The television broadcasters in Hawaii announced that they will transition to digital-only broadcasting one month early. The date, January 15, 2009, is a mere three months away and quickly approaching.

I think this is the right approach to take with the digital transition; allow markets to transition on their own time table rather than a nationwide transition. Now only 208 more markets to go.

.2 Network Plans to Launch December 8

2008-08-31T18:57:00.000-07:00

In an article in Broadcasting & Cable about a new executive coming on board to the Guardian Enterprise Group (.2 Network owner) they disclosed that the .2 Network will launch on December 8th, 2008. Many have been wondering what was happening with this network. The last news on their web site was from April, more than five months ago. The good news is that it sounds like the network will launch despite fears to the contrary.

Vegas TV Station Simulates Analog Shutoff

2008-05-04T07:02:00.000-07:00

Las Vegas television KVBC a few days ago simulated what exactly will happen to over-the-air analog viewers on February 17, 2009. The analog broadcast signal went to static and contained a web address and phone number to help viewers make the transition to digital.

This is a great idea and I think other stations across the country should do the exact same thing.

Great idea KVBC.

Myth: Digital TV is Only Good for 20 to 30 Miles

2008-03-31T23:01:00.000-07:00

One of the common misconceptions being spread by those who oppose the digital transition is that digital broadcast signals are only usable for 20 to 30 miles or less. This couldn't be further from the truth. At my parents house in Arizona they have a television with a built-in ATSC turner and a 20 dollar antenna. Their house is 45 miles from the Phoenix broadcast towers on South Mountain. They can hardly receive the analog broadcast channels but they can receive every digital station and all the extra sub-channels. When added up they get more than 20 channels of unique programming for free.
