, Start TV had affiliation agreements with television stations in 27
media markets encompassing 20 states, covering 45.52% of the United States. The network is carried on the
digital subchannels of
television stations in most of its markets (with potential exceptions in certain areas where a future affiliate may opt to carry the network on its main feed), and is also carried on
cable television providers through their
digital tiers at the discretion of the affiliate's parent station in certain markets. The network initially launched primarily on subchannels of stations owned by Weigel Broadcasting and
CBS Television Stations. (In many of the CBS markets, Start TV displaced Weigel and CBS's classic television network venture
Decades, with Weigel assuming the local Decades affiliation rights on stations it owns in certain markets where CBS Television Stations owns a CBS and/or CW
owned-and-operated station, such as
Los Angeles and
San Francisco.)
Bahakel Communications also contributed stations to serve as charter affiliates. In October 2020, Start TV was made available on
Sling TV. On April 19, 2022, Start TV began airing on the
Frndly TV live streaming service.
