KFDM has always been a stick in the mud over retransimission rights. TWC pays them for their hd signal ,but I wonder how much they are paying to carry it.

Don't forget PBS! D*, FIOS & cable have it in HD, E* doesn't.

Anyone in the know, know if DISH has any PBS plans ever? Even a national feed would be nice. Would that violate any SHVERAs?

Our Newport station in Albany has been on since last week. Have you checked your guide. I understood that they had settled with Newport.

The Fisher stations could be added to the list. Anyone know what ones they are?

Looks like more Newport stations coming online in HD this week! (ETA 3/5/09)

WHP - Harrisburg
WAWS & WTEV - Jacksonville
KLRT - Little Rock

At least, this is what a little bird told me... I can't get WHP OTA, so I am HOPING this is right!

I just noticed that WHP-HD is now listed on the dish website as an available local for my zip code (harrisburg dma). I am not home, so I can't check to see if it is really available yet.

Hmm. Well, I can check via slingguide, and whp-hd doesn't appear there. I suspect you're right, that it will be lit up in the next couple of days.

Probably uplinked today and turned on tomorrow morning... unless they do it all at once.

The ABC affiliate in Salt Lake City is still SD only. I don't know the callsign or the actual owner and I don't really care because I don't watch ABC. But if I did watch it....

 

[Brandie]

Dish Website definitely lists Jacksonville Fox 30 & CBS 47 as being carried. Not activated yet. Hoo-ray...!!! We already have ABC & NBC. That just leaves Independant Channel 4, Post-Newsweek. Supposedly, they too have an agreement in place.

Newport has an agreement - it is just a question of getting them uploaded. Once VTV went belly up agreement was quick to come.

The issues with PBS is one of motivation by Dish- I would bet they could get most PBS HDs up if they had room and really wanted to. I don't think the stations are holding up an agreement.

So,

Freedom
Schurz
Granite
Fisher

NBC and ABC affiliates in Cedar Rapids, Iowa still in SD. Not sure who owns them.
