What's the deal with Fox 23?

Any idea when they will actually be available?

 

[osu1991]

I know Clear Channel had a deal with dish but since Clear Channel disposed of all their tv stations, the new owners may want carriage of My41 HD also or carriage of the VTV subchannel on 41.2

 

[wavoka]

Interesting. I wasn't aware that Fox23 had been sold.

 

[osu1991]

They are part of Newport Television Group, that was formed and bought all the Clear Channel tv stations, about a year ago.

tulsa will be on sat 119? awesome. i dont have los for EA.

i know i nearly fell out of my chair when i saw Tulsa will be available this month-wow super news! Now all i need is the MLB network before the season starts and i'll be a happy camper!

I have seen somewhere Tulsa HD will be availoable on 12/11, but I am not holding my breath. Also have seen dish is in talks with the Fox group so that may be why that FOX 23 is not aprt of the uplink. If the want my 41 it should be a proble. I have seen bigger markets getting CW and/or My Network TV.

Word here is 12/11/2008

EKB: Dish HD Locals

Man can not wait. But like the rest I am unhappy about Fox not being in HD

 

[okiekevn]

correct word is 12/10/2009 by 5 pm.

 

[digiblur]

I'd say 12/10 by 2pm central. 12/11 it will be in the CSR's computers.

 

[BobaBird]

On the Charlie Chat they said 12/11 but yes we should see it switch to Available in the 12/10 uplinks. You may or may not be able to actually add it then.

 

[osu1991]

Am I missing something? Its been a long couple of days at work, but I thought the charlie chat listed them as coming this month, but only listed a couple of other markets for this week and not Tulsa.

 

[digiblur]

You shouldnt have to add them if you have an HD package and have the locals.

Doesnt OKC have all 4? If so just "move" to OKC and call it done.

 

[osu1991]

The problem with moving to OKC is that it is the weather capital of the world, so having the hd channels doesn't serve much purpose because everything gets preempted or they just fail to switch to the hd feed. Also NBC in Tulsa is totally HD now. They produce all their news in HD and can time delay hd for syndicated HD shows and such.

 

[okiekevn]

I'd say 12/10 by 2pm central. 12/11 it will be in the CSR's computers.

nope, trust me. 12/10/2009 by 5 pm.

 

[dembinskij]

That's awesome. I may have to reconsider switching to Directv if they do what they say they will. I hope FOX 23 is soon to follow before the bowl season kicks off.

 

[Poke]

Yeah OKC has all 4 so the Tulsa Fox sounds more like a contract issue or some other kind of hold up.. Might call the station ask when they will be providing their HD feed to Dish..
