According to the Internet, WZME was sold to another broadcasting company.

On 4/1, they moved ME TV to 43.2 and added Story TV to 43.1

So unless Fios gets a deal with the new station to carry both channels, you will only have Story TV.

If it is worth anything, you should be able to catch it on an antenna.

MeTV+ is being discussed over on DSLReports. Here is the link to the topic:

MeTV+ Is Gone

I use Fios without a set-top box (coax to the TV).

MeTV+ was on channel 43.1 until a few days ago.

Now channel 43.1 has "Story Television".

Has MeTV+ moved to another channel or is it being discontinued?

Thanks.

Check with the station on channel 43.

I saw another post that it was moved to channel 43.2

So try rescanning your TV.

thanks for the reply.

Re-scan is the first thing I tried, and no change.

43.1 is on us-cable channel 78.

43.2 doesn't show up.

Output from my tuner:

us-cable channel 78 QAM Carrier: 549MHz

LOCK: qam256 (ss=88 snq=100 seq=100)
TSID: 0x0001

PROGRAM 1024: 11.1 WPIX-HD
PROGRAM 1025: 2.1 WCBS-HD
PROGRAM 3720: 43.1 WZME HD <<< was MeTV+, now is Story Television
PROGRAM 3788: 33.1 WJLP Me   <<<< MeTV

PROGRAM 3789: 25.1 NYLFHD

A FiOS customer support agent consulted with their technical people and said this is a broadcaster issue, and that I should contact MeTV for help.  I left a voice message and sent an email to MeTV.

Hopefully this will be resolved soon.

I'm aware WZME moved METV+ to channel 43.2 so why can't Verizon carry it from there? Oh wait I know...they want more money to carry it. Don't worry about what the people want. Good job Verizon!

I don't know how Verizon manages the channels they deliver on their network or how they obtain new  channels. 

Maybe when WZME put Story Television in place of MeTV+ and moved it to 43.2, Verizon was unaware of the change so nothing was done.

I was surprised when the Verizon agent told me to contact the broadcaster, as I always see notices from various broadcasters saying to notify your provider if you don't get a channel.

Amazing and annoying that when I chatted for an hour with two different Fios folks, they had no idea what I was talking about - at least they feigned ignorance. I had to send a picture of the Guide showing Story TV - and they still couldn't/wouldn't give me an answer. I expect better for my $200 a month.

I too chatted with a FiOS agent and sent a picture showing Story Television was where MeTV+ was.

They first told me to disconnect/reconnect the coax cable to the TV and rescan. I replied that the same issue is occurring on multiple TVs.  That's when they said I need to contact the broadcaster at the following phone number.

1-833-367-6388

I left a voice message after many rings with nobody answering, and also sent a message via this link.

Maybe if enough people complain it will be resolved.

I wish the entertainment industry would produce old shows again. 🙂
