WXYZ-TV's third digital subchannel originally carried a video feed of their Tower Camera at Broadcast House. Most recently, it formerly carried Doppler7Weather, an independent local weather channel looping weather radar, temperatures, and live local radar. This channel also used the L-Bar (similar to The Local AccuWeather Channel and the defunct NBC Weather Plus, but it was not affiliated with either network), showing current conditions on the left and five-day forecasts on the bottom. On May 21, 2010, this channel was removed to prepare and utilize its channel exclusively for mobile television, labelled as WXYZ-MH 7.3 and simulcasting 7.2/Live Well Network at 1.83 MBps.
On July 12, 2012, The E. W. Scripps Company signed an affiliation agreement with Bounce TV to make WXYZ-TV the Detroit area affiliate of the network, becoming the first Scripps-owned station to affiliate with Bounce TV. Bounce TV itself launched on September 25, 2012, after a week of audio-only testing.

Famous quotes containing the word television:
“Television is an excellent system when one has nothing to lose, as is the case with a nomadic and rootless country like the United States, but in Europe the affect of television is that of a bulldozer which reduces culture to the lowest possible denominator.”
—Marc Fumaroli (b. 1932)
