Did they put APT/PBS in HD in Birmingham too? I'm not home to check

Of course no PBS or CW for Pittsburgh.

New HD locals markets announced for later in the fall:

For November 2009:
Bismarck/Minot/Dickinson ND
Sherman TX/Ada OK
Missoula MT
Marquette MI



DIRECTV: HD Locals, locals in HD

And this is all before the launch of D12. Has to bode well for after the launch.

Thanks for posting the update bama. Nice to see the UP of MI get some love - from either provider.

They recently added WYCW-HD (The CW) and UNC-HD (PBS) in our market. Unfortunately, no MyNetworkTV in HD in Greenville/Spartanburg/Asheville market. On raoul5788 reply to meldar_b, he meant you can't have both distant network feeds and local-into-local service, I think it's a SHVERA thing. But the law saids you can't have out-of-market locals. I wished that the law should changed. I know how you feel.

SHVERA is dead, it was analog only so technically we can keep them. I still have them 1 1/2 weeks later after my locals were turned on.

Anybody know if Tupelo, MS will ever get on that list? Cable and E* have HD locals there already.

Jackson, MS has HD locals as of this morning.

ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, CW, and PBS appear to be live.

Thank you for the report, and enjoy.

I thought that if you have local-into-local HD, they have to shut off the distant HD network channels.
