They aren't going to waste conus Bandwidth on a Tiny Local DMA. Like Scranton Wilkes Barre.
Major Citys are Conus, and most of those are now being switched to spotbeam only, because they take up less space and distantnetworks are becoming a thing of the past.
If the 77 has no spotbeams, I doubt you'll see anymore locals put there.
You'll be waiting untill E*15.
In the Mean time All American Direct might be an option.
Granted its not cheap , but its better then nothing.
That isn't the case... they wasted bandwidth on the small Lake Charles, LA on 77...they even had to duplicate two locals from Beaumont that was on a spotbeam on to 77. They could have put it on a beam on 129 and wouldn't have had to duplicate things.
