Maybe Elmira and Erie were the first locals to agree to be retransed to the VI? Does Dish need FCC approval to use an out of market station where there's no defined Nielsen market? And is Elmyra Duff really Elmer Fudds sister???
As far as CBS from Erie, I believe that is because the owners of that station also own a station in Puerto Rico, and they just simulcast the same feed. Since the Virgin Islands gets most of their locals from Puerto Rico, they also get CBS Erie. As for Elmyra and Elmer, no relation.
Look at the San Juan, Puerto Rico listings. Those two US VI stations are also carried as part of their package. So there is some overlap.
San Juan, PR, Locals on DISH Network (Unofficial Listing)
...and, just to squash any further rumors, Elmyra Duff is definitely not related to the owner of the Duff brewery on The Simpsons.I think she’s distantly related to Wile E. Coyote.
Oh, certainly there's some overlap, but that still leaves the US VI only getting one local from PR. Another oddity on the list though, is that PR appears to be getting CBS from both Erie, PA and Charlotte Amalie, VI, yet the US VI only gets CBS from Erie according to the lists. I think my brain is starting to smoke...
To clarify, I did not mean that the US VI gets most of the channels from the Puerto Rico package. I meant that most of the channels in the US VI package are also carried in the Puerto Rico locals. Furthermore, those US VI channels were carried in the Puerto Rico package many years before Dish ever offered any locals to the US VI.
Hmmm, "Elmyra" is the feminine version of "Elmer", and "Duff" spelled backwards is...

You're such a nice guy. I would have stopped with "Plural of Elmyra".
