They should be required to carrie all of the PBS locals and sub channels.
Thats fine but what subchannels do you carry?
Good example is here in Minnesota. We have 4 different PBS stations in the state (not combined like state run) and each one has a different set of subchannels
Minneapolis has
PBS
MN Channel (all PBS stations in MN have this)
TPT Life (like create but different)
Aeronautical weather
WDSE Duluth has
PBS (different than Mpls)
PBS 2nd chance (reruns)
create (the real create channel...same as on AMC21)
MN Channel
KSMQ Austin/Albert Lea
PBS
MHz Worldview
Create
Minnesota Channel
KAWE/KAWB Brainerd/Bemidji
PBS
National feed
PBS Kids
Create
Lakeland Plus (shows rerun)
MN Channel
Pioneer Public TV
PBS
Create
MN Channel
PBS satellite service
thats a lot of stations to carry...does Dish have the bandwidth? I know Create they could use maybe as CONUS and just remap it. But the oddball stations that each state may have what do you do with those?
