    Illinois House Bill 5440

    I wouldn't be surprised either, however they'll have a LOT of negative advertising if they do, before I left EIU for Christmas Break the Champaign/Springfield stations were airing ads non-stop about the bill all in the negative for it.

    Illinois House Bill 5440

    Living in IL I can assure you the Satellite Lobby is fighting this bill hard! although frankly, this bill has been tried at least 3 times, and until they force Cable to service EVERY address in the state this bill will never pass through the State house.... reason being, too many downstate...

    Looks Like Lin is back!

    LOL I love this, when they pulled wthi at 2AM ET they claimed 140% increase, now it's 175%.... Something smells fishy here to me, and right now it isn't LIN

    Terre Haute "locals"

    I agree something is whacked, every county around us has locals from different DMA's to the north it's the Central IL locals, to the east, the TH locals, to the South in Wayne county (the Rinard address you used, and Clay City's zip has addresses in wayne county too) it's the Evansville locals...

    Terre Haute "locals"

    And here's one for the what the heck is directv thinking department.. Ok so when they launched the TH locals I thought, OK since they don't give us the St Louis Locals (even though Dish Network does), or the Evansville locals, they'd give us the Terre Haute Locals..... WRONG! I checked the...

    Another possible dispute? : Dish v. Belo

    I for one think it is totally stupid for local broadcasters that they charge cable companies to show their signal, when that in most places you can get the station over the air (except here in Flora, IL where we are in a DTV dead zone from all surrounding markets for OTA) for the insanely low...

    DIRECTV to Offer Local Channels in 172 Markets

    First I ever heard of someone being asked to BUY an external market local... Although honestly IMO if your in Indiana just get an antenna and point it at Indianapolis... unless your in Sullivan or TH it self you should be able to get an antenna that can pick up the Indy Stations, with it what...

    Another possible dispute? : Dish v. Belo

    Same story with KMOV in the St Louis market... I'm thinking it may be time for E* to hire some new negotiators... seems like E* can't do a single one without the station being pulled...

    well Fox is resolved, now Dish and KMOV (CBS St louis) aren't getting along:

    In the same story on the news at 6, KMOV reported on the Dish fox resolution, they added that KMOV could be pulled from the dish, as soon as sunday... Then they read a statement by the GM of the station Allan Cohen, Statement found here: A KMOV message about DISH Network | St. Louis News...

    DISH Network Launches (Then Removes) The Weather Cast

    one thing that I just thought of, this will not only effect a lot of home subs, but also a lot of hotels, as there are some hotels that get their tv via dish network service, the Disneyworld Dolphin resort for one example. something tells me there's going to be some upset guests in some hotels...
