    That may soon change. KGUN's weather has the Scripps package.

  2. I was skeptical about this guy being successful running the Michigan station but seeing that it worked was amazing.

     

    However I don’t see any large station groups signing on to affiliate with this diginet. They’ll want to sign on a diginet that has some stability - with a secure programming slate and financial backing. If they were using crowdfunding for the first try and failed - what will make this successful? The satellite distribution costs alone will cost more in a month than the amount they were trying to raise in the first go round. And who will be providing them content AP, Reuters, NewSource? Those costs are going to add up quick.

     

    Also, any station that signs on is going to barely make any ad money on this deal. Unless they plan on paying for carriage like some diginets do or did when starting out.

     

    I only see this really appealing to small or minority broadcasters that are running five subchannels already.

     

    Word is that the crowdfunding angle was ditched and investors signed on, so that's how it is able to launch.

  3. Oh great. WXII in the Piedmont Triad, WXII in Northern Michigan. How fun.

     

    What did northern Michigan's WXII call sign mean?

     

    WLLZ is also Channel 12 (XII is the roman numeral for 12)

  4. Freelancer Television Broadcasting, Inc. has finished its purchase of WLLZ-LP Cedar, MI.

     

    It was announced today that FTB would be changing WLLZ's call sign to...

    WXII-LP

     

    Todo, I don't think we're in Greensboro, High Point, or Winston-Salem anymore.

     

    Hello everyone,

     

    We just received word from the FCC that they have granted our request to change the call sign of WLLZ-LP to WXII-LP.

     

    The change is effective this Thursday (December 21, 2017); please update your records accordingly! Aside from the call sign, nothing else about the station has changed - the program schedules, coverage area and COZI/MyNetworkTV affiliations remain the same as they’ve been in the past.

  5. WLLZ has a local news product now, however small. A 90 second update airs during the first ad break of each hour every weekday from 6PM - 10PM.

     

    The update is produced by recent sister station WMNN, with mostly different graphics and a different music package.

     

    Stephen Arnold's Elevation has been resurrected.
