My KKTV preview


So My KKTV will launch Sept. 5 to coincide with myNetworkTV's launch. KK's hiring a new anchor and a new meteorologist for the 6:30 and 9 p.m. newscasts, although the 9 p.m. won't launch until KK's contract with KXRM runs out Sept. 30. MyKK will also rebroadcast KK's regular news at 7-9 a.m., 12:30 p.m., and 11 p.m.

myNetworkTV's programming will be in HD on the subchannel in 720. So KK will be airing side-by-side HD on CBS and the subchannel. Emily Edwards at KK says there's enough room. We'll watch on Sept. 5 and see.

In addition to myNetwork's slate of short-run soaps (each program will air five nights a week for 13 weeks, then give way to something new), myKK will air "Oprah" at 9:30 p.m., "The Insider" at 6 p.m., plus some other syndicated stuff like "Blind Date" at 11:30 p.m., "Mad About You" at 10:30, "Judge Alex" at 3-5 p.m., "Geraldo" at noon and 5 p.m.

In repsonse to the question in comments, there were no cookies at the launch party. But there was ice cream and apple pie. Mmmmmm.

One follow-up note to Tuesday's TV Talk: As part of its partnership with KK, Clear Channel's four stations are airing the JonBenet press conference live...right...about...now.

Why do I need a big antennae to get KKTV HD right now? I get 5 and 13 without one. Is KKTV on some sort of low power or something?
