Austin Tripp 0 Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 A friend pointed out to me that WYFF has a new channel on the air. It's WYFF-SC 4.3. The channel doesn't have any programming besides color bars. Anyone in Upstate SC know what this channel will be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DENDude 179 Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 I Would think maybe True Crime Network or H&I (Heroes & Icons), those seem to be the big sub channel affiliations that Hearst has for most of there stations. WYFF is already carrying MeTV. With that said--let us know what pops up on that channel. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRyan 556 Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 (edited) I find it interesting they use -SC. Could it be a sub-channel focused on South Carolina somehow? Edited March 14, 2021 by TheRyan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyrannical bastard 3183 Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Looking around at the Hearst stations on RabbitEars.info, It looks like WDSU and WLWT have picked up ShopLC. Many of their stations still only have one subchannel, so this could be one of those channel-leasing deals to make some more $$$$$$. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have a problem with it if they only have one other subchannel (all of them otherwise have MeTV); it's never going to be promoted on the station itself, it'll be bit-starved to a contractual minimum, and they get money for it, and usually it can't get carried on cable because ShopeLC already buys five channel slots on a lineup there too. In these times, just take the money rather than packing the regular DT1 schedule with infomercial festivals. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess Hearst needed the money... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you've got the channel space, might as well put it to use if you can make some money off it. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyHarry 714 Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 I noticed the local Daystar station has Daystar-es-ES for Espanol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrschimpf 1781 Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 WISN in Milwaukee picked up Shop LC on 12.3 today...they did note it on a newscast, which is how I found out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TWCKodster 0 Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Hey, I am a super fan off WYFF and NBC and have finally figured out what is being aired on WYFF 4.3. So much for them using it to provide weather or more news... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They absolutely know how to use bandwidth correctly. Got a 1080i? A 720p? Both? A 480i on top of that? Here's the solution: Add. More. Subchannels.

I expected it to be bit-starved because of hosting WSTR's 1.0 signal...but it actually uses more bandwidth than the MeTV sub on 5.2, same with WISN. You'd think a channel which consists mainly of still graphics and mainly still close-ups of jewelry wouldn't need so much bandwidth (WISN thankfully has a 12 Mbps picture on the main channel). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRob 904 Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 I happened to catch Story TV late last night (now on KMBC's .3), and they were airing the "end of the world" stuff that appeared on the History Channel 10-12 years ago. After Armageddon, Mayan Mystery and so on... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently the contract ran out and Hearst did not renew. However Story remains on 4.4, but 4.3 has disappeared. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
