I didn't see any indication on Keller's Twitter note on where he's headed next. I saw him anchoring last weekend and was thinking about how he's underrated on air.

So once this launches, WTTG will air weekday news from 4am-11am, 4pm-7:30pm, 8pm-8:30pm (via WDCA), 9pm-9:30pm (via WDCA), and 10pm-midnight. That's damn near the level of KTLA.

WTTG airs opinion programming at 7pm and a political show at 11:30pm so its not entirely news in those timeslots. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hmaxhanson 638 Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 (edited) I saw a promo for CourtTV's launch airing on Grit today. If you want anymore proof that CourtTV will take Grit's place when it debuts in May, I'll tell you that Grit's advertising base is now almost entirely comprised of 1-800 insurance/medicare/IRS ads. The all-westerns format is just a place-holder/filler for them until CourtTV is ready to go. If Grit were serious about staying on, they would at least acquire some stronger programming.

Again, it's possible you're reading too much into this. I looked at the affiliate lists for Court TV and Grit (available here and here) on RabbitEars and some of the latter's charter affiliates that also carry Grit are shown to be adding subchannels where Court TV will be carried. If Court TV was designed as a replacement for Grit, RabbitEars (given its access to sources) would not be putting the proposed Court TV channel placements on the same subchannels as Grit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CourtTV already announced it's affiliates? That I didn't know. Well, for now, there are only 13 of them, most of which feature Grit on another station. I can imagine the roster will expand greatly before or after the launch. I'm sure many station managers are desperate to move up from ther 60+ skewing Grit to the younger CourtTV.

TexasTVNews 1335 Posted March 21, 2019 Author Share Posted March 21, 2019 I gotta to remind you, the new CourtTV already has distribution agreements with station group owners including Tribune, Scripps and Univision that will enable it to reach 50% of the U.S. at launch, with cable carriage representing 25% of cable homes. Tribune Broadcasting will carry Court TV in 22 markets, including New York (WPIX); Los Angeles (KTLA); Chicago (WGN); Philadelphia (WPHL); Dallas-Fort Worth (KDAF); Houston (KIAH); Miami-Fort Lauderdale (WSFL); Denver (KWGN); St. Louis (KTVI or KPLR); Seattle-Tacoma (KCPQ), Washington (WDCW); and Sacramento, Calif (KTXL).

Hopefully CourtTV will either replace Grit on WJTC or WFNA (or LaffTV on WKRG) in the Mobile/Pensacola area. Why Nexstar added these affiliates when WJTC already had Grit and WALA already had Laff is beyond me.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DENDude 152 Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 TexasTVNews, what is KWGN going to drop to carry Court TV? THIS TV Comet Charge! or will they launch channel 2.5. My guess would be they would drop charge!. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can easily stream those via STIRR so why the need for the channel space? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
