Pittsburgh's WQED announced today that it
will lease out its second channel to HSN's America's Store shopping network for three years, retaining the right to air some public TV programs and promos on the channel. Rumbles of a new deal were heard in March by the
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, which said the station has tried several plans to "unload" the station and bolster its revenues since 1996. The station
signed to sell it to a California broadcaster in 2001, but the deal fell through in 2002.
