The multiple schedule changes on KTVK channels 3.2 and 3.3 were the result of our acquiring the Comet TV affiliation on August 1, 2017 which removed all local programming from channel 3.2. The E/I programs which had been on 3.2 were moved to 3.3 and then further time period changes on 3.3 occurred when some of those programs expired at the end of the 16/17 broadcast season in September.
