come on lafayette, indiana!!

I know! Lafayette is basically one station, and I'm betting LIN Television won't even charge DISH a cent. And then, all the other Indy locals can be provided in Tippecanoe County. (Probably even WISH since it's co-owned. Who would file a network exclusivity claim against it? Cable carries both CBS affils.)

Finally, somebody else that understands!! Same network, same owner....COME ON dish, LIN would probably PAY you to carry WLFI.

I think Harrisonburg, VA locals are going online today or tomorrow? That's according to one of my sources.
