I see that WZPX & WXMI Fox17 aren’t listed Defy or TrueReal channels on the website just list the ION TV station in Detroit. Surprised that no other TV stations that aren’t Scripps or ION were listed in the articles I have seen. If I was Scripps maybe get a deal with a rival to air Defy & TrueReal if they don’t have room for it on the local station or ION just my opinion.
