I live in a very sleepy area where we don't get a lot of dignets. But we do get MeTV. I notice on the Coming Up Next ad, they say in the fine print: "On most MeTv stations." I know why they do that since another broadcast channel may have the local rights to a program and/or the Metv station may wis to show other shows (like sports.)

Do other dignets that allow their shows to be premempted in local markets do this? If they don't, than talk about irresponsibility. I so wish their excuse isn't "MeTv saying that isn't normal." Or something like that.

I know Antenna TV doesn't, but they also seem to have far less affiliate preemptions than Me-TV does. They still have their fair share of them, though.

up until Monday our ANTENNA TV affiliate was pre-empting "Barney Miller" on weeknights and whatever ANNTENA TV has in that slot on the weekends; to re-run the 10:00 news.

I wonder if my AntennaTV afilliate will pre-empt an hour for Big Chuck and Lil' John again?

I sooooo hope that MeTV forms another station for 50's-80's cartoons...of course they'll have an E/I slot...the thing that killed SatAM!

Here in Buffalo they air so little that other ME-TV stations. We were getting Carol Burnett but they put on The King of Queens, when everybody else got Odd Couple and Bob Newhart we got That 70's show. Then they preempt Gilligan for infomercials or or local junk,. I'd say at least half the shows everybody else gets we don't. I wouldn't mind if they were shows we could get on other channels. When that 70's show was on this summer, at least 7 other channels aired it here!

AS for antenna, they are good, the only thing they mess up is the first show of Bewitched to replay the news. That makes me crazy as most of the time when there is a two parter we miss one. I have emailed over and over to the local station but they just ignore me.

I am hoping when January shows start they will have changed it so I don't miss Bewitched,

COZI is being preempted in my area; instead of Baywatch, the local World Harvest channel airs an hour split between Benson and Hazel...!

Also have the same type of Antenna preempting others have mentioned, for a half-hour of evening news at 7 p.m.

Hi

Are you watching on DISH Network if so then what you seeing is FETV as they only show Cozitv part time for just filler as they don't carry full Cozitv schedule.

to see full Cozitv program you need a over the air antenna to watch Cozitv if there a affilate in your area DISH doesn't carry any local sub channels.that is on a .2 channel.

I think people are misunderstanding what he's asking. He's asking if other diginets have a little disclaimer like Me-TV does during their promos (i.e. "On most Me-TV stations") that acknowledges that affiliates may preempt a show. I think the answer is no. But I don't have Cozi TV so I'm not sure about that one. Perhaps the other Weigel owned networks (Decades, Heroes & Icons, and Movies) do.

No other digitalnet channel have a tag line simmer to METV's tag line Metv is only ones that have that tag line.

here is what it says about COZITV and FETV on DISH

Thank you. I was just curious that's all.

Nope, I don't have DISH. I watch Cozi over the air using an antenna, on a .2 subchannel.

As far as I can tell, I'm able to see the full schedule with the only exception being Baywatch.

I have Antenna TV thru two different antennas on two tv's as DirectTV doesn't carry it. I wish COZI would come in but the channel has bad reception, they have shows I like darn it!

I get WHME-46 over the air, which is the flagship station for all of the TV started by Lester Sumrall -- the World Harvest network. They're airing Benson and Hazel (right now, they're airing the last season of Hazel).

As I said, I don't have dish. World Harvest has FOUR over-the-air channels I'm able to watch in my area: 46, 46.2, 46.3, and 46.4. They're also available over-the-air in places like New Orleans and Honalulu. I'm in Northern Indiana, and I can remember when LeSea started with just one channel (46).

There's more to World Harvest than what Dish offers!!
