Could Dish add RTV like Ion?

[SatboyZ]

Just curious - as we all know RTV is difficult to receive FTA. Dish has east/west Ion feeds available - could they not do the same for RTV? It would be awesome as they do not offer the subchannel for Buffalo. Some cities do receive RTV on Dish - one from FL comes to mind.
Powers that be have any influence?

Thanks

I get it about 50 from Tampa on my OTA antenna. It's a WFLA Ch. 8 subchannel.

Here in Cleveland, RTV is broadcast only on a low-power analog signal. Few can get it.

Only problem is that I think many RTV affiliates broadcast different schedules.

Here is the NYC area we had it for a few months then "poof".. gone. When we did have it on WSAH, it was only on for 6 hours a day.

The national feed would be nice. Here is what that would look like. RTV National Feed Schedule

Funny how the RTV site still shows WSAH (and the Buffalo station) still carrying the channel.

Actually, only the Western Arc gets both East and West of ION. Last I heard, Eastern Arc people only get ION East.
