Fox Television Stations expanded its relationship with Weigel beyond Movies!, adding it to eleven of their stations in the fourth quarter of 2015. With the network having settled on a more stabilized schedule, Weigel moved the Heroes & Icons affiliation in Milwaukee to the third subchannel of CBS affiliate WDJT-TV (channel 58) on March 5, 2015, with This TV – which previously occupied the 58.3 space – moving to WMLW-DT3 in its place. Weigel opted to soft launch H&I in order to fine-tune its schedule, along with adding additional programming to the fledgling network. The network also launched in the South Bend, Indiana market, along with the major cable providers in the Chicago and Milwaukee markets (including Comcast Xfinity, RCN and Time Warner Cable) using existing carriage. Heroes & Icons was created at the request of the affiliates of Weigel's existing networks, to increase their programming options. The department’s engineers also will assess the structural integrity of the building that was struck by the falling boom.Heroes & Icons was soft-launched with limited advanced promotion on September 28, 2014, as a diginet of Weigel-owned stations WWME-CD (channel 23.2) and WCIU-TV (channel 26.4) in Chicago, and WMLW-TV (channel 49.3) in Milwaukee.

Richard Paz, an iron worker who was at the site Wednesday morning, told CNN he saw the crane smoking and told others, “That’s not a good sign.” Images shared by the office of Mayor Eric Adams showed debris lying in the street below. “DOB inspectors and engineers will remain at the site to oversee the situation while plans are developed for the safe removal of the collapsed crane, while also working to determine why this incident occurred in the first place,” the department said.įootage posted on Twitter showed flames and smoke rising from the crane before its boom fell, hitting the building across the street at 555 10th Ave. From inspection by the New York City Department of Buildings (DOB) after the collapse found the tower crane and impacted buildings were “structurally stable,” the agency tweeted.
