New Network Called This TV

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

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.
