Dang was hoping one was Hartford.

 

[joprandi]

Wheres Columbus!!!!!

 

[Bobby]

Wheres Columbus!!!!!

Well, let's see: AR, GA, IL, IN, KS, KY, MI, MS, MT, NE, NJ, NM, NY, NC, ND, OH, PA, TX, or WI.

Or did you mean Christopher? He's either in Seville, Spain or Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. Now that's a real question, no one knows.

Oh, I bet you mean where are the Columbus, Ohio locals!!!

Only time will tell....

I was just about to post to see if there was any info on Hartford.

 

[peallen]

Or Memphis!?

 

[rtt2]

Hartford is the bastard stepchild for dish. They treat that city like the DHP customers. They dangle possibilities in front of those customers but its always unavailable.

Memphis was passed over for locals in favor of Louisville. Thank the local affiliates for this. You would have had Memphis locals last year had the local affiliates accepted the same offer that was good enough for over 500 other stations.

See ya

I know! It is so frustrating, I have contacted several of the station managers and program directors. None of them have given me an answer. The only hope I have is that Memphis was listed as one of the first with the SuperDish so there might actually be something to it. I figure they must be close or they wouldn't be listed at all. If my locals aren't added by the time my contract is up I will probably go back to cable. TWarner is actually pretty decent here, I would rather not deal with them but you gotta do what you gotta do.

Once 105 is up and running, can we expect some of the locals now on 110 CONUS transponders (Lexington KY, Jackson MS, Roanoke VA, Knoxville TN, Little Rock AR) to move to 105? It's annoying to see declining picture quality on the 110 satellite channels while more and more locals get shoved in the CONUS slots. :x

 

[TNGTony]

Actually all but one of the Lexington channels were shoe-horened in to the Ohio spot beam. I don't see any of these channels moving to 105°. My guess is that only new services untied to any existing service at 110/119 will go to 105.
