I heard WBCB will be getting its own channel as well. WYTV at one time was going to start a sub channel of their own (which broadcasting cable had a story on this about 2 and a half years ago) but sadly has not. I know they are cheap and they have to squeeze every penney (this is why they sign off at 2:06 am every weeknite 1:35 on the weekend) but they could at least try something. Come June 11th they will need to find a new program at 5:30 because Friends is moving to WBCB at 7:30 and they will have another time slot to fill.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13975530.post-1148426113531019462006-05-23T19:15:00.000-04:002006-05-23T19:15:00.000-04:00With ch 43 losing every program and ch 55 buying a...With ch 43 losing every program and ch 55 buying according to jim and george lopaz for this fall what does ch 43 have left? It seems they are very quickly running low on prgramming options? Even the Andy Griffith show has no place on weekdays anymore.

I do recall that a couple of years of ago on their heart to heart show they hinted at the idea of having different shows on the sub channels when they discussed WBNX's future digital tv station. Also is this a sign that maybe at some point in thre future they go and try to buy a news from either ch 3 or 5? Just a thought.I heard that they own a couple of low power tv stations. If this is true then maybe they will start a second station and put it on the sub channel along with the 90 and 9 club. I we are lucky maybe the people of NE Ohio will finally recieve a independent tv station in some form if not though a sub channel on ch 55 maybe though ch 67.

Angley say on his program last week that in the near future he would have a seperate digital sub channel, besides WBNX's digital channel with The CW programming. So that's probably why he agreed to the prime change. He said his program would still be on in the morning on WBNX, which is when he does some of them live anyhow. Sounds like a good plan for all viewers in general. I hope our local cable companies will be made to carry all the local sub-channels from all the stations in this area. More selection and diversity is always a plus.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13975530.post-1148414188355467362006-05-23T15:56:00.000-04:002006-05-23T15:56:00.000-04:00I believe there was a banner ad on one of their we...I believe there was a banner ad on one of their web pages which mentioned Friends at 10PM beginning in June, but those ads seem to change between page visits.

Like others, we're surprised that Rev. Angley would move his "90 and 9 Club" out of prime-time, but he's moved it once before...when the station first picked up The WB.<BR/><BR/>We'll be on the lookout for more on this.<BR/><BR/>-OMWOhio Media Watchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07003503894299610300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13975530.post-1148387666171332342006-05-23T08:34:00.000-04:002006-05-23T08:34:00.000-04:00I like the idea of being able to see Friends at 10...I like the idea of being able to see Friends at 10PM. Most of the other networks either have crime dramas or boring local news. It's about time someone gave us a sitcom or two at that hour. Sometimes you just want to sit back and relax. I get enough tension viewing between 8 and 10PM with Lost, 24 , etc. Does anyone know when Friends will be on at 10? I guess I should check out their website.

All the best of UPN along with Friends is headed for WBNX, Cleveland's new CW affiliate. I guess WUAB will just air more infomercials. Of course, they still have the Cavs, at least for now. And let's not forget WUAB has 19 Action News! I wonder when WUAB will not just be The Block, but on the block (for sale that is).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13975530.post-1148330268566837022006-05-22T16:37:00.000-04:002006-05-22T16:37:00.000-04:00after visiting the WBNX'S movive page http://www.w...after visiting the WBNX'S movive page http://www.wbnx.com/movies.htm it says reruns of Friend's will air at 10 pm. If this is the case what will happen to the 90 and 9 club. Kind of strange that Ernie would allow his show to get moved for a rerun. BTW I can recall about 2 years ago on their local show heart to heart with annie and al they brought up digital tv and hinted at their plans on how they could air multipe programs on each sub channel. I wonder if this is the path they will take since they have the rights to so many reruns and movies.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
