Live Well Network being Canceled

Hi! Just had to comment here...because (as of late last night) LiveWell is still alive and kickin'... at least here in upstate NY. And this is NOT an ABC o&o market. Our affiliate is owned by Young Broadcasting.

 

What's the LWN status where YOU are?

 

WRIC (also a Young, now MG station) here in Richmond still has it on 8.2.

Seems odd...because April 15th had been the last announced final day. Then "Laff" was to take over on many affiliates.

 

or Decades on some... the Gannett ones were replaced by Justice Network and others were another retro diginet.

I haven't checked in-person, but WLS has a few ads on their website for the subchannel.

 

That's what I've always thought was strange around here. Only one of our primary-station websites makes any mention of their sub-channel programming. You wouldn't know that the other area stations have any.

Isn't LiveWell just in "zombie" state, where it keeps recycling the exact same programming over and over, for those affiliates who for some reason can't give it up? Sort of like what Comcast did to G4, until they finally mercy killed it?

It's apparently in a zombie state. KTRK is still airing it on 13.2 while LAFF has taken the channel's SD spot on 13.3

 

Remember, ABC O&O's will continue to carry LWN, but under rerun programming. Only ABC O&O's continue to carry it as distribution outside ABC O&O's have now ceased to exist, as of Tax Day 2015.
