CBS and NBC coming to Biloxi

I don't know if this was brought up recently on here. I did a search and couldn't find anything on it.

No more depending on New Orleans or Mobile TV stations in this area for CBS and NBC anymore.

WLOX 13, the ABC affiliate here is adding CBS to their 13.2 subchannel. Most likely replacing the 24/7 weather channel on there since their owner Raycom (Owner of WAFB) has a deal with Bounce TV that probably won't displace it off 13.3. It will replace WWL on Satellite but Cable One said they are not removing WWL or WKRG off their lineups in the area. This is great news for Mississippi Coast Tiger fans come football season! The CBS subchannel is rumored to be up and running on April 1st.

WXXV 25, the Fox affiliate here is adding NBC to their 25.2 subchannel and moving My Network TV to 25.3 around July 1st. They will also launch a newscast for the third time in their history. There is no word on if WDSU or WPMI will be taken off of the cable lineups though. WDSU has their own office in Gulfport for localized ads for the cable subscribers so they cannot be too happy about this.

WLOX is a good quality channel for this small market, a little too conservative on their news coverage but WXXV has horrible picture quality (Cable public access quality!) and is not my Fox station of choice, I prefer WALA out of Mobile or Saints owned WVUE for Fox.
