WTVT in Tampa Bay have found a way of broadcasting the local morning shows using DTT.  They're using sub-channel 13.3 usually used by classic game show network BUZZR during Women's World Cup matches in SD.

I don't know if other Fox O&Os have been able to acquire space on their own DTT muxes as an alternative?

Most of the Fox O&Os are co-owned with other full-power stations (duopolies), and in the last few years, many of them have adopted the practice of sliding their newscasts over to the second station whenever they're pre-empted for any reason, especially sports. A few years ago, KTVU rebranded KICU TV-36 as KTVU Plus to signify that practice, and a few other O&Os have now rebranded their second stations as "Plus" stations as well.

The Women's World Cup schedule is also affecting late local news on the west coast. Coverage of the match the other night began at 11pm PDT.
