E* Locals

[Tac]

Does anyone have information on what cities E* is looking to add locals for in 2004?

I would love to know that one myself.

I guess they are still flip flopping on the decisions on which sat to use. The wheel of satellites........ Could it be Dish 500, or 61.5/148, or 121 or 105 or maybe the 157 underused satellite!!


Nobody knows!!

I am a retailer in Illinois and was told by my Echostar rep that Dish was going to launch every DMA in Illinois and tons of other local cities at CES. This was the big announcement! This person was wrong or something has changed in the last 4 weeks to make my rep thin that my local city would not be launched until the June time frame.
