I bet this is a trial run for Gray to take over full time. Which would be great!

I could see that happening. Network programming now on some channels except for live sports is almost an afterthought. But I could see, the stations throw it on a Subchannel like Bounce if the ratings or advertising doesn’t meet expectations.

Now as long as Gray doesn’t get greedy like they did in Arizona and command high retransmission rates which led to some providers to drop the channel, it could be a success.

If it does, excuse the pun, get bounced to a subchannel like Bounce, the picture quality is really compressed OTA. On Fox 8 in New Orleans, there are 8 channels on their digital channel. 1 HD channel (Fox 8 main feed), 6 Subchannels for Fox 8 (of various smaller networks like Bounce), and one Subchannel for WUPL since WUPL is the ATSC 3.0 nightlight station broadcasting the 6 major HD feeds of the New Orleans major stations in the new standard that only few people can pickup due to some of the broadcasters using encryption to block certain receivers that are not certified for encryption yet. Also, while Fox 8’s feed of Bounce is on most cable systems, it is not on any satellite provider or virtual cable system like YouTubeTV.
