As of December 2014, Bounce TV has current or pending affiliation agreements with television stations in 43
media markets encompassing 22 states and the
Washington, D.C., covering 73% of all households of at least one television set in the United States and 90% of African-American households. In Bounce TV's Home city
Atlanta,
ABC affiliate
WSB-TV (channel 2), owned by
Cox Media Group, is the Atlanta affiliate for Bounce TV. Before its launch, Bounce TV actively sought affiliation agreements with various television station owners to make the network widely available throughout the United States. The network launched with clearance rate of, at minimum, 32% of overall American television households, in part due to affiliation agreements with stations owned by
Nexstar Media Group,
Gray Television,
Lockwood Broadcast Group, and the
E. W. Scripps Company. In November 2011, Bounce TV reached a groupwide affiliation deal with
Fox Television Stations to carry the network on the subchannels of its
MyNetworkTV owned-and-operated station in markets such as
New York City (
WWOR-TV) and
Los Angeles (
KCOP-TV). The deal, which marked Fox Television Station's first multicasting arrangement, put Bounce TV over its earlier stated goal of reaching at least 50% of overall U.S. television households. In December 2012, the network signed a multi-station agreement with
Spanish language broadcaster
Univision Communications to carry its programming on seven of its
Univision and
UniMás owned-and-operated television stations (besides being the company's first multicasting agreement, it was also Univision Television Group's first affiliation deal involving an
English language network). As part of an extension of this agreement in March 2014, Bounce TV will move its affiliation in five markets where it had existing affiliation deals with Fox at the time of the deal (New York City, Los Angeles,
Dallas–
Fort Worth, Texas,
Orlando, Florida, and
Phoenix, Arizona) to stations owned by Univision in 2015. The Fox deal ended after the 2015 launch of game show channel
Buzzr, with Bounce then moving in full to Univision stations after that point. On June 15, 2016,
Katz Broadcasting (whose president and CEO Jonathan Katz is COO of Bounce TV) signed an agreement with Nexstar Broadcasting Group that would bring Bounce TV to 15 new markets, as part of a massive rollout also involving Katz's three networks
Escape,
Laff, and
Grit. In 2019, Raycom merged with
Gray Television, which will maintain their Bounce affiliations as-is. Although Bounce TV prefers that its local affiliates carry the entire schedule, some affiliates regularly pre-empt certain network programs in order to air morning and/or prime time newscasts produced by the station specifically for the subchannel or public affairs programs (such as with
WBTV in
Charlotte and
WAVE-TV in
Louisville); this has become particularly more common since September 2015, when other Gray Television-owned stations in markets where the group does not maintain a
duopoly (as is the case with WBTV and WAVE-TV, which launched theirs earlier) gradually began launching prime time newscasts on their Bounce TV-affiliated subchannels. Some of the major network affiliates that carry Bounce TV full-time (such as WBTV, WAVE-TV and
WAFF in
Huntsville) use the affiliated subchannel as a buffer during network sports coverage,
breaking news or
severe weather coverage situations to carry regularly scheduled network and/or syndicated programming seen on its main channel. ==Bounce Media==
