I wonder if they are working on agreements with those particular stations. That may be the holdup.

Locals in Kansas City are only working at 50%?

Channel 4 FOX-Not working
Channel 5 CBS-Not Working
Channell 9 ABC-Working
Channel 41 NBC-Working

*Does anyone know why Fox and CBS are dead?

this is already in 3 OR MORE other threads. The mods posted stickies and merged threads and it was asked nicely in the stickied thread (users requests) to keep all this like GENERAL info together; now there are 3 - 5 threads all about the same general thing making for total confusion and the same post multiple times.. I know I will be dumped on for mentioning it (I can accept it) , but come on, it is way too easy to keep it all together in one place, so what if you have to read the thread to get the info.
