KADN lays off 19

Gosh, I’d expect a professional organization to come up with a better plan than a band aide.

It wasn't Deltas choice, it was from the Gray Sports Production decision.

Jones at channel ten is out also.

Gray is who I’m referring to. I’d watch the Pels from time to time, but not an all in viewer because, just like AD, Zion will be in a larger market soon. It’s a viscous cycle, competing for a 6-8 playoff spot isn't exciting. Won’t go out my way and spend more just for the Pels.


I liked Jones, but local stations all missed the mark. First one to figure it out wins.

[Duckster]

In these smaller TV markets, why don't the stations roll with one anchor at the nightly news desk? Doesn't matter if a man or woman. Then pay more for a more experienced, polished anchor/news director instead of two JV anchors? Two anchors leads to more mindless, useless chat.

And when you do click on one, it feels like you have been hacked with all the popups you get.

Not only that, most of those radio announcers have the writing skills of a 7th grader.

Done Deal...Just Announced by Delta Media, Pelican Games will be seen on KXKW TV, station 32.1.

So they announce a deal on a channel not a single person in Lafayette has access to. We are in 2024, the idea that we need to go out and buy an antenna to watch games is laughable. Pelicans are not serious with this deal. The nba should step in like they did for Utah.

And there’s the problem with them all. How and why did this happen?

Thanks for the update. I checked and can pick this up OTA in the middle of Lafayette.

My main tv provider currently is YouTube tv and also use other streaming media. I do have an OTA antenna on 2 of my tvs and don't necessarily mind accessing the games that way but it will be interesting to see how this plays out overall in this market. (It would be a major PITA to add OTA antennas to my main tvs that are flush mounted though)

I would rather stream the games but DO NOT plan on paying $15/ month for yet another streaming service

I agree the setup is not ideal but plenty of people with $10 OTA antenna's have access to it if they want to go that route

The streaming option below is laughable to me for $15/ month

Man, did Judy have a hand in this?

What I did.

When I got rid of "cable" and went to online services I connected all my TV's to the internet via wireless. For OTA it was then only a matter of tossing an antenna in the attic with a power injector and connecting the antenna to the inlet of my coax distribution point that had previously been used for the incoming cable signal. Last time I checked I could receive somewhere around 40 channels. For the most part the OTA signals are not compressed and thus higher quality than what you can get via an online service. So if I'm watching a live event like football and I can get it OTA I try to do that.

It's 2024. Having to use an OTA is not good business. If we can't catch it over youtube tv or some other streaming service, its useless for 90% of their potential viewers in the area.

I did have DirecTV previously and left their splitter intact in my media closet. I could tap into this with a single more powerful antenna .....hmmm

That might be a good way to do this easily

It also looks like KXKW TV broadcasts at 720P. Not exactly an ideal broadcast partner.

That's exactly what I did when I dropped DirecTV. Use all their splitters & wires to hook up the antenna I put on the roof.
