Is Dish still adding local channels in some of the smaller markets?

[Gib4500]

I just wondered if any more local channels are in the works for some of the smaller markets. I am in the wheeling wv local market and would like to have the local channels sometime. I just wondered if anyone knew. I know there's only 2 channels in this market.

Yes. They are. Everything is on hold until Echostar 10 is operational. If all goes well that will be in a month. At this point Dish has to do a MASSIVE shuffle of many local channels. After that is done, expect Biloxi/Gulfport and Hattiesburg/Laurel. Also Dothat, AL.

Eventually all 210 (plus PR and USVI) markets should be served if all goes as planned.

See ya

I assume you're talking about HD LiLs ?

No. SD

HD LIL will only include the major 4 networks. There are plenty of new HD markets coming too.

See ya

E10 will hopefully finish them out after they move second dish locals, and superdish locals. Then the rest of the markets.
