Woo Hoo! New station in Minneapolis

[Mr Tony]

But don't get too excited.....
Channel 43 finally upgraded from analog to digital.....and since its owned and operated the programming wont change

W43HB-D is now on the air with HSN SD

That leaves us with 1 analog channel left (Univision which is low powered)

And a waste of bandwidth if they are not using the HD signals available from HSN.
Maybe SD is a temporary measure until they get the system optimized.

 

[Mr Tony]

sadly they won't

tripinva (rabbitears.info webmaster) posted the "bad news" on avsforum about it when someone asked maybe if HSN2 would be carried

Every HSN O&O airs HSN in SD and that's it, with the exception of W41DO-D in New York which airs both HSN and HSN2 in SD.

 

[Mr Tony]

So we're up to 41 stations now in Minneapolis (not including Univision)

Too bad 18 are Religious
5 channel TBN mux
6 channel 3ABN mux (3 video/3 radio)
Cornerstone
Daystar
5 channel EWTN mux (3 are same thing...1 is a program guide, 1 has other programming)

[Mr Tony]

Thats the drawback of being in a major market...lots of low powered religious stations
