GritTV to replace MeTV on FPB cable channel 29; FPB exploring options to continue offering MeTV in cable lineup

/

The E.W. Scripps Company, which owns WLEX-TV in Lexington, recently announced that it will no longer carry MeTV as a multicast feed and will replace it with GritTV on September 1, 2022. As part of FPB’s existing retransmission consent agreement with E.W. Scripps, FPB is required to carry WLEX’s multicast feed, regardless of the multicast’s network affiliation. Therefore, effective September 1, 2022, channel 29 on FPB Cable will be GritTV.

FPB is keenly aware that MeTV is a very popular station with many cable subscribers. FPB has engaged directly with Weigel Broadcasting, the company that owns MeTV, to come to an agreement for direct carriage of MeTV on FPB Cable.

There are some technical challenges to overcome, but FPB staff is working to ensure there is a direct feed of MeTV on FPB’s cable lineup. There may be a short period of time, starting on September 1, 2022, in which MeTV is not available on FPB Cable.

In spite of WLEX’s decision to drop MeTV, FPB is committed to continue to bring MeTV’s collection of classic TV programs to customers in Frankfort and Franklin County.
