the ownership change also resulted in a streamlining of subchannels between wmtw and wpxt the next month. with hearst's preference for its main station in the market to carry the metv affiliation, metv and h&i exchanged places, with metv moving to wmtw-dt2 and h&i going to wpxt-dt2, and laff going from wpxt-dt2 to wmtw-dt3, with escape going to wpxt-dt3 (and the likely non-renewal of the katz broadcasting network agreement; hearst only tends to carry bounce tv from that provider). the syndicated programming formerly on wpxt-dt3's "wpme" service was removed, and mynetworktv programming now airs in place of h&i's primetime, or sometimes during the late night hours on wpxt-dt2, an arrangement similar to the setup for the third subchannel of sister station kcci in des moines, iowa.
