“We are delighted to add Abilene to the list of Bonten markets that air Me-TV,” said Randy Bongarten, chairman-CEO of Bonten Media Group. “The network has proven its value as a digital channel both for viewers and advertisers. It is an outstanding product,”
Connie Knox, GM of WILM, said: “We are so excited about this opportunity to bring Me-TV to Wilmington. I’ve had many requests for this network from local viewers. I believe this is the absolute best network out there for subchannel options. It’ll be an opportunity for audiences to revisit their favorite shows while sharing this family-friendly programming with new young audiences to discover it for the first time.”
These additions bring the network to 155 affiliates and more than 90% clearance across the country. The Me-TV network can be found in 28 of the top 30 U.S. markets on cable and satellite.

We are quite pleased that our viewing choices have been greatly increased by these diginets and watch AntennaTV, Me-TV, CoziTV and PBS Create regularly. MeTV is our favorite. We watch it more than the CW and ABC and almost as much as ION.
