[edit] When WFBT becomes WMEU, will there be a new website?

When WFBT becomes WMEU on Saturday, March 1, will there be a new website? And if so, what will the new website be called? AdamDeanHall (talk) 16:47, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

I think maybe this page could be 'moved', which also creates an automatic redirect (rename a page). This would allow other links to work, although you can use the 'what links here' option on the left side of the page to edit other pages to directly point at the new page. I assume the full name would be WMEU-CA, too. If some other broadcaster uses WFBT-CA in the future, the redirect can be edited into a real entry. Andyross (talk) 22:50, 11 February 2008 (UTC)


Someone created a new page for WMEU-CA, the pages should be merged as it's not a new station it's a renaming.

THere is no new website since this station is ME-TOO. The schedule is on metvchicago.com —Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.142.96.212 (talk) 00:03, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] WCIU subchannel

Isn't WFBT already a subchannel of WCIU-DT? I don't have an ATSC tuner, but I think I read it's 26.3 (with WWME being 26.2). If so, then the current programming will either move to a new subchannel (26.4?), or WMEU will not be a subchannel?? Andyross (talk) 23:04, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

From a post at website frequented by a WCIU technician, the current WFBT programming will be moved to 26.6. No idea what 26.4 and .5 will be! They are using a VBR encoder. It's a good thing 26.1 is 720p. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Andyross (talkcontribs) 15:07, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
