Hmm. I certainly didn't see that coming. It looks like KSL is going to create their own version of WeatherPlus now that the NBC supplied version is gone. At least that's what the slide they're running on 5.3 seems to imply. The branding seems to be with The Weather Channel, which NBC owns a controlling interest in now.
I think that's good, at a minimum for the harsh winter months. We can use the easiest access to weather info that we can get. I know I've used WeatherPlus often. I hope it works out.

That's nice of them to do. I heard KSL HD-2 (on FM 102.7) was just broadcasting a loop of the afternoon news. I thought it was supposed to be unsigned bands.

According to Wikipedia, that's the plan for affiliates that wanted it. Their equipment can interact with the new feed. Here all we got is a simulcast of King 5 "Standard Definition." |

We get duplicate programming like that on Fox13 (one feed is HD/16:9 and the other is SD4:3). Seems like a waste to me, but if you've got nothing else....
I think KSL is actually selling local infomercial time on the 5.2 channel now. The other night there was an infomercial on 5.2, but the audio that was running on 5.3 sounded like a skiing event like what Universal Sports has been running. I find that interesting. I don't think 5.2 is even showing up on Comcast yet.
