Praise the Lord! Another retrans agreement vanishes! (Also good news for Erie!)

Praise the Lord! Dispatch agrees to a deal - and more!

This Twitter message at the top of the pile is the best news for two markets since who knows when. It's a retweet from @10TV that reads:

DISH Network/WBNS-10TV have come to an agreement that will bring HD to subscribers' homes on DISH Network service.

Of course, since WBNS came to that agreement, its little brother got to tag along, i.e. WTHR Indianapolis.

Coupled with the arrival of WTVC, WPEC, WWMT, and WICU Erie, PA, the HD soil is fertile and ready to bring forth a total of six HD locals tomorrow.

How did you hear WPEC is in the agreement? I've just about given up on ever seeing that channel in HD down here....

Read his message again... just regurgated from the DishNetwork twitter page.

Thanks.

Don't get the whole "twitter tracker" thing. Conan has taught me all I know.

Title of posting is misleading. If the retransmission agreement vanished then you wouldn't have the channel. I think what the OP meant to say is the retransmission dispute was settled.

Yippee!

WBNS HD just appeared on the guide today! No listings but the HD channel is there. Looks like the receiver will have to reload the listings to get it to show a schedule. But 10 HD is alive in Columbus!

Thanks, rocatman. That was awkward wording on my part, looking back.
