They already removed CourtTV and LaffTV from WYHB.

I have the cable feed of Ion Network as well as the cable feeds (????) of Qubo and Ion Life. I know that both will shut down on Feb. 28 but I checked my Xfinity guide and it says that both will still be on the air on March 1st.

I wonder what they will be replaced with?

In my area, Detroit, we already have two Scripps stations, WXYZ and WMYD. So Scripps had to divest the local Ion station, WPXD, to another company called Inyo.

Over here, all the Katz networks are on the Scripps stations, except for Grit, which is on WADL. I think that Grit is probably gonna be on WPXD 31.2.

As for WADL, they have a sister AM radio station whose audio used to be simulcast on 38.7 until that channel started carrying HSN a few months ago. I'm pretty sure the radio station is gonna return to 38.2.

This will leave WPXD with a lot of available space. Maybe the Antenna TV 80s network will be carried on 31.3 once it launches

I tried the service and found it disappointing.
Few issues
-Limited to no closed captioning. Their customer support acts like the content provider isnt passing it through, but on other providers, closed captioning for those channels work.
-Poor customer service in general
-Not available on Roku
-Limited availability on Firestick. Must be the 4K Firestick.

I do like the channel selection with FETV, AXS and HDNet Movies, and others. I kind of wonder why Bounce is not included. I anyways get these Katz channels over the air.

Ion Television has been removed from our Xfinity lineup and it has been replaced with Court TV.

cnnbcbs · 03-01-2021, 06:30 PM

In Pittsburgh, Bounce, CourtTV and CourtTV Mysteries are now on WINP (Ion) 16. For now they can still be seen on WPCB-DT (Bounce, CourtTv) and WOSC-CD (CourtTV Mystery).

catsrule · 03-01-2021, 08:05 PM

I still have ION, which is a good thing as I like the 2nd day of Blue Bloods they recently added.

In Memphis, the ion station WPXX 50 now has Court TV Mystery on 50.2, Court TV on 50.3, and Grit on 50.4 but those are also still on their old stations as well.

I think both new channels mentioned in the article are a really bad idea.

I was able to find an over the air stream of ION on Locast.
