On March 23, 2006, Sinclair announced that it would start multicasting The Tube onto the digital subcarriers of many of its stations across the country. The channel launched on WCGV's DT2 subchannel on June 15, 2006 . On December 31, The Tube was dropped by WCGV due to new E/I regulations put into effect by the FCC and The Tube not immediately inserting E/I programming within their schedule and putting the burden on local stations to do so, and the network went out of business on October 1, 2007, probably from several factors including the dropping by Sinclair. Also, no pay-TV providers in the market ever carried 24.2 during their time with The Tube.
In August 2010 Sinclair made a large group deal to bring The Country Network, a digital subchannel network featuring country music videos throughout their entire broadcast day to the majority of their stations, 28 in all. WCGV relaunched their 24.2 subchannel to carry The Country Network on October 26, 2010.
Charter added WCGV's 24.2 Country Network subchannel to their systems on Channel 964 on February 9, 2011, with Time Warner Cable following on September 27, 2011, placing it on Channel 988.
