On July 30, 2015, at 6:55 p.m., WDIV-TV activated a third subchannel on their broadcast signal for MeTV, which initially aired a test pattern with a "MeTV Detroit" logo. The new subchannel eventually "soft-launched" at about 5 p.m. the following evening with an episode of "Emergency!" (this was the second half of the show's two-hour weekday block on MeTV, the first half had already concluded on the national feed). On January 20, 2017 from 7:00 to 8:00 p.m., MeTV was replaced with "Wheel of Fortune" and "Jeopardy!" due to the inauguration of President Donald Trump running longer than expected. Since then, the MeTV subchannel has occasionally been used to broadcast programs (both syndicated and NBC network) that are preempted on WDIV-TV's main channel.
