I noticed WSMV's main channel is also on channel 15 as 4.10. There are no subchannels. Both 15.1 (WNTX-LD) and 4.10 (WSMV-HD) are in 1080i.

As expected, Gray has launched Telemundo in Bowling Green also. W34FG has been a translator for WBKO for the last year or so. It is no longer a simulcast of WBKO (-1 ABC, -2 Fox, -3 CW) and is now identifying as WBGS-LD with Telemundo currently on 34-3 at 720p. I suspect this is a work in progress since it has just shown up in the last 24 hours. There is also a 34-4 with a blank screen. These are the only two channels being mapped (34-3 and 34-4). There is not yet any PSIP info for either channel. It would be great if they added CW in HD (720p) on WBGS-LD since it runs in 480i on 13.3.

Thanks for the update. Keep me posted if anything else changes.

WBGS-LD is now running 34-4 WBKO-ABC (720p), in addition to 34-3 Telemundo (720p). There is not anything mapped as 34-1 or 34-2. Has anyone heard when WNKY-LD (RF16) will start broadcasting and what programming they may run? I also see that there is a CP for W26FM-LD licensed to Glasgow, KY, which recently moved after being displaced by WKGB/KET 53 (RF29) during the re-pack. The CP expires in May 2023 so they have some time. I suspect the CP will be sold and/or moved.

Thank you for letting me know. Did you do a rescan to get 34.3 and 34.4, or did they just pop in? If you didn't rescan, then if you do a rescan they will probably show up on 34.1 and 34.2. Please keep me updated of any more BG, KY changes. Thank you.

I've rescanned multiple times on multiple televisions. Same results on all sources. Very strange they aren't mapping as 34.1 and 34.2.

When I got 34 from Bowling Green last night it had them mapped as 34.1 as Telemundo and 34.2 as ABC on my Hdhomerun. No other channels were on it other than the first two.

I noticed the mapping was corrected last night, too. This morning, however, I am getting no signal at all on 34. It appears to be due to atmospheric conditions even though I am not very far from the transmitter site (11 air miles). As a WBKO translator, 34 had been on the air for about a year and was pretty consistent for me. In the last couple of weeks, it's been either off the air quite often or impacted by atmospheric conditions more so than in the last year. The coverage map shows I should have a reliable coverage with my outdoor antenna. I wonder if they are running at reduced power.

I've gotten it on an indoor antenna in southern kentucky when I shouldn't have in the first place. It has to be atmospheric conditions making the signals go out on your end.

More on Noticias Telemundo Tennessee on WTNX-LD: Carlos Figueroa, one of the anchors, spent several years as a field reporter for WSMV if memory serves me correctly

Thank you. A quick search came up with this picture. "https://media-exp1.licdn.com/dms/image/C4E03AQGz46FZJ2BKJg/profile-displayphoto-shrink_800_800/0/1667952127849?e=2147483647&v=beta&t=9opCrg3ZaS-UZctD4b5Jrl033H8MAc8HA1uzit9DWCM" I don't know if this is what the news set will look like or this maybe from something else.
