KTVX Channel 4 ROCKS Utah! "The Cool TV" is coming to 4.2

You're So Cool, Channel 4!

UPDATE: KTVX 4.2 Became The Cool TV on 4/15/2011

In my last post, I told you that Channel 4, KTVX, had added CW30 as a subchannel at 4.30, allowing all of us in areas that don't have a dedicated translator station to watch the CW. Now, they are poised to become one of the coolest channels in Utah.

My sources at Rabbitears and TVnewscheck have confirmed that Newport Television, the owners of KTVX 4, have agreed to carry TheCoolTV multicast network in 10 of its 22 markets.

The 10 markets: Harrisburg, Pa.; Seattle-Tacoma; Albany-Schenectady-Troy, N.Y.; Jackson, Tenn.; Jacksonville, Fla.; Little Rock-Pine Bluff, Ark.; Salt Lake City, UT; Tulsa, Okla.; Wichita-Hutchison, Kan.; and Memphis, Tenn.

Fox 13 announces AntennaTV starts Jan. 5, 2011

Fox 13 Utah tonight announces (officially) AntennaTV on it's 13.2 subchannel:

SALT LAKE CITY —

Coming Wednesday, FOX 13 will air "Antenna TV" so viewers in the area can view classic American television shows.
It will be a step back in time for nostalgia t.v. viewers. Benny Hill, Three's Company, Sanford and Sons, these are some of the series titles Antenna TV viewers can see starting at 1 p.m. MST Jan. 5.
"It's all about family friendly television," says KSTU FOX 13's General Manager, Tim Ermish. Ermish says that although Antenna TV in not affiliated with FOX, it is a digital sub-channel that KSTU got licensed to air.

The cost? Antenna TV is free for cable subscribers.
For Comcast subscribers the channel will be 1-06 and will switch to channel 1-1-1 Jan. 20.
Other cable providers will have Antenna TV on channel 13-2.

Satellite customers will not have access, for now.

 

Notice no mention in the print article that it's also FREE OTA with an ANTENNA, what? And if you have satellite, you can add an OTA antenna to your dish setup and get not only antennaTV, but a bunch of other channels you can't get on cable or satellite!
