Route66Fan 74 Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 "The network will be available nationwide on the TV stations of Hearst Television, Marquee Broadcasting, Maranatha Broadcasting, Weigel Broadcasting and other affiliate partners." "Story Television marquee series will include Biography, The Men Who Built America, World War II in HD, Modern Marvels, Mankind: The Story of All of Us and more." I wonder if this will be carried on KCWE-TV, Ch. 29.3, in Kansas City, MO? They currently have their main programming on Ch. 29.1, True Crime Network on Ch. 29.2 & HSN on Ch. 29.4.

east-tx-tv 105 Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 I guess since Weigel has a DFW presence (KAZD), and enough channel room (4 right now), they'll probably have Story TV there. Will be good to have a docu-series choice without a lot of the reality fluff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24994J 5262 Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 Announcing the channel is fine, but we're not going to be speculating about what stations will carry it. Please. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrschimpf 2034 Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 Excited to watch World War II in HD in beautiful compressed standard definition 480i. On a more serious note, glad that History's archive is finding a good broadcast home. As A+E goes even more into reality, these libraries seriously need to be exploited more and air somewhere rather than being stuck in the late night hours. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please. Sorry, I forgot all about the Speculatron thread, I just wanted to provide something of my own in addition to posting a link to, & quoting, the site. Thanks for the correction anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that's going to be a drawback. I wonder if their affiliates will be able to make arrangements with local cable systems to provide HD feeds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You act as if cable and broadcast industries have a close and positive relationship, not one based on liquidating the consumer's assets for retransmission fees.

Yankees4life 529 Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Eh...there's already a diginet like this in QUEST. I don't see the demand for this but I guess that's one more diginet for cordcutters to watch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeTV, AntennaTV, Cozi, Retro TV, Decades, GetTV, Movies!, This TV, etc. I don't have a Tegna-owned station in my area, so I can't get Quest. I do, however, have two Hearst-owned stations, so Xfinity gives us two MeTVs, right next to each other. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least with Weigel, they seem to prefer to build networks which draw from niche and broad interests and a solid scheduling strategy, and not just take libraries without real theming. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CLETVFan 363 Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 No affiliate right now in Cleveland, so it looks like W27EA-D might likely be the destination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
