Yesterday Dabl, the free over-the-air (OTA) TV network, relaunched with a new focus and mostly airing old UPN shows. Now as part of this relaunch, Dabl has stopped offering a free feed of its content on its website and on free services like Samsung TV Plus. Now if you want to watch Dabl you will need to view it with an antenna or a paid service.
You can find Dabl on paid services like Paramount+, YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, and a collection of cable TV companies.
Dable first launched in September of 2019. Owned by CBS at the time and now Paramount, the network focuses on reality programming from CBS and other partners with shows like Hotel Hell, House Doctor, Martha Stewart Living, and other popular lifestyle shows.
According to the schedule for Dabl the network has changed from airing reality lifestyle programs to airing programs like The Parkers, Sister Sister, Girlfriends, and Moesha. With a few exceptions for shows like Animal Rescue and Wild Times at the San Diego Zoo, most of the schedule after the 29th of December is focused on programs like Sister Sister and Moesha and other old UPN shows.
The network has also gotten a new slogan of “get into it.” In the past Dabl described itself as a New Lifestyle Network, but now it seems to be more a clone of the old UPN network.
Back in September, Dabl stopped posting on Social media, with its last post on X and Facebook coming on September 15. Paramount has not officially announced any changes but today the channel got a new lineup, logo, an slogan.
This news comes as earlier this year, Paramount rebranded its sister network Decades a joint venture with the Weigel Broadcasting group, to focus on comedies and away from its more classic TV focus.
