More Roland Garros experience prep, including Tennis Channel and USA swapping transponder slots
Prep for a potential Padres game feed on 694.3 (again) if Diamond Sports misses next week's payment.
Subchannel relabels hit the rest of Sioux Falls and South Bend
They finally fixed WBPX Boston's callsign

How come all this missing payment stuff was never a problem during the FOX Sports Net days?
The SD feed already said WBPX, only the HD feed needed to be corrected as it has had the typo ever since Boston's Ion HD feed was added last March.
During the FSN days they were owned by an international mega conglomerate who could also tie the deals to their sister cable and broadcast stations, and also had international rights deals for many of the same leagues so they could air the games overseas on the various Sky and Fox Sports international channels. The Bally RSNs are part of a seperate Diamond Sports LLC, and their carriage contracts aren't even tied to Sinclair's broadcast stations or the Tennis Channel.
The TPN Map today opens up to the NATIONAL tab instead of the ENGR tab. There are preferences for each approach.
We will try it this way for a couple of weeks and let the feedback be our guide...

Channel 9537 and 660 (Puerto Rico) is a free preview for all DTV commercial accounts of Dana White’s Power Slap 2 live tonight
I haven’t even opened your latest map yet, but I have always wanted it to open up to that tab, so thanks for making that happen!
So you're basically saying free previews for events only accessible to commercial customers count as free-preview-thread-worthy, not just free previews for premium channels, right?
DIRECTV struck a deal with EverPass to distribute Sunday Ticket to business customers. It will be on channels 9552 to 9565.
Most of the MPEG-4 SD versions of MPEG-2 SD locals that are affiliated with a network (not Independents) are also missing logo_ids:
WKRC-D2 (CW Cincinnati) needs to be mapped to logo_id 677
KXTU-LD (CW Colorado Springs) needs to be mapped to logo_id 677
KBJR-D3 (MyNet Duluth) needs to be mapped to logo_id 664
WHP-D2 (MyNet Harrisburg, a DMA I've been to a few times in the past) needs to be mapped to logo_id 664
WZDX-D2 (MyNet Huntsville) needs to be mapped to logo_id 664
WFPA-CD (UniMas Philly) needs to be mapped to logo_id 393
WNAC-D2 (CW Providence) needs to be mapped to logo_id 677
WTNC-LD (UniMas Raleigh) needs to be mapped to logo_id 393
WTCN-CD (MyNet West Palm Beach) needs to be mapped to logo_id 664
I would have to guess Diamond Sports is on one contract, with Sinclair broadcast (including shell companies, like Fox here is owned by New Age Media) and TC being on another, right?
New logos were added to the directv.com server:
852 Cleveland Guardians (Previously used by Golf Channel HD)
853 Minnesota Twins (Previously used by Footschool TV)
857 Texas Rangers (Previously used by A Toda Musica)
858 TC Internacional (Previously used by Comedy Central HD)
They also updated the logo for 196 EWTN Espanol

They missed the deadline and the Padres channel is now in the guide. Tonight's Padres game will be the last one to air on Bally Sports San Diego.
There will be a hearing tomorrow where we might learn more about the fate of the Reds, Diamondbacks, Guardians, Rangers and Twins.
EDIT: More details about the Padres new TV home and other options to view their games.

Now I have to ask…how often do they have to make these payments and how much are they?
Also, I wonder if they will have to do a special farewell at the end of their last game telecast?
