Fox 13 brings CourtTV in house

The Scripps company owns Fox 13 and CourtTV so it was probably inevitable that the two would end up together. Fox 13 has dropped Stadium from 13.3 and Charge from 13.4 and replaced them with CourtTV and CourtTV Mystery. At this point CourtTV remains on 30.4 and CourtTV Mystery remains on 32.4 (mislabeled as Escape). Charge is still available on 14.4 also.

I'm sure this change will help the CourtTV Mystery fans in more northern Utah who can receive Fox 13 but can't get KUTH 32. I don't think losing the duplicate of Charge is any loss, especially because it was malformed the last time I looked at it anyway. I'm going to be interested to see if anyone picks up Stadium. Having new programming on 30.4 and 32.4 would be good too. RetroTV maybe?

FWIW KJZZ has picked up at least some of the Stadium programming. They ran live college basketball on Thursday. This is in addition to games that they produce themselves.

Now that I think about it this makes sense. KJZZ's owner Sinclair owns part of Stadium. I wouldn't be surprised if it got picked up by either KUTV or KJZZ if they can figure out how to squeeze it in. The odd man out is Dabl which they don't have a stake in.
