Nope. So by all means, go right ahead.

There was never a switch; Bounce is still around. Airs on 23.2 in Chicago.

I thought that was Fan4Sure for a second.

Funny thing is Bounce seems to have kept its placing in the digital tier of channels on FiOS in New Jersey, even if they switched channels. Our Univision station took over the Bounce affiliation from WWOR, and they also have Grit TV on their subchannel lineup.

A small handful of FOX stations in larger markets replaced Bounce with Buzzr, and somehow an awful lot of people jumped to the conclusion that Buzzr as a network had replaced Bounce as a network.  Both are still in business.

Some also thought that Buzzr would instantly take over the channel position Bounce was occupying on digital systems. Here, people wondered why Bounce was still on 476 when Buzzr was supposed to launch (it still is; channel 487 was opened so Buzzr could take its spot in the lineup).

A lot of them shat cinderblocks when Verizon dropped The Weather Channel in favor of the new AccuWeather Network. Made the people comparing the intellectual property debate to Nazi Germany seem sane by comparison.
