What is going on with Me TV? It has turned into Plum and I hate it! How do I get it back?

MeTV is no longer on WMFP 62.1. Plum is WMFP’s new “network”. MeTV has moved to WCVB 5.2. If you have DirecTV or Dish Network, you are out of luck as the satellite providers won’t carry subchannels (5.2).

The report should have also mentioned that Me-TV launched on WCVB sister station KOCO-TV/Oklahoma City also on its 5.2 subchannel the same day that WCVB added it. It replaced This TV programming on the KOCO subchannel, that network has since been added to the 52.2 subchannel of MyNetworkTV affiliate KSBI on September 17.

Connecticut and Vermont are the remaining New England states with no Me-TV affiliate. Meredith Corporation recently removed WSHM (CBS for Springfield, Massachusetts) from Hartford, Connecticut’s WFSB channel 3-2, leaving a black screen. It would be great if they or some other kind broadcaster in Hartford/New Haven/Springfield would pick up Me-TV for over-the-air viewers.

You continually advertise that Perry Mason comes on at 11:30PM but every night I tune in Mission Impossible is on. What is going on with this?
