Default MHz Networks (More OTA Channels?)

Does anyone get MHZ network channels? Looks like International programming for over-the air. Is it translated to English?

Quote:
MHz Networks is owned by Richmond-based Commonwealth Public Broadcasting and, through affiliate agreements with broadcasters and cable and satellite companies, reaches 27 million households across the country.

But viewers in the Washington region, and some in Baltimore, now get to watch 10 channels over the air free of charge. (The digital transition gave the network eight extra channels to broadcast additional foreign content.)

Five channels, including programs from the Middle East, China and Japan, are aired from a 698-foot tower in Falls Church, while the remaining five channels with programs from Vietnam, France and South Africa are aired from a tower in Prince William County. (Viewers have to point their antennas in that direction to receive the channels.)

I LOVE MHz WorldView.

At UVA, our main PBS is WHTJ, which is owned by Commonwealth Public Broadcasting, and has MHz WV on 41-3. All the programming is either foreign programming in English, or the programming has English subtitles. I am an addict of RT News, France 24 News, and DW News.

It's an amazing channel and I wish that I could get my local PBS at home to carry it...

With English subititles? Sounds great. I'd like to see more of this type of outside programming on OTA.

Looks like they're only broadcasting in Virginia. Their television coverage map is down right now The Community Idea Stations

Unless I'm missing something, I'm having a hard time accounting for the Washington Post's numbers with Common Wealth Public Broadcasting audience reach,

Now there's some first hand information.

Now I really wish I had these channels in my area.

I think that most foreign language networks in the U.S. make a mistake by not translating their content to English. I've watched a few game shows on Univision before and was quite entertained, but could only understand bits and pieces of the broadcast.

We need more programming like this.
