Well when I saw a channel number of 614 discussed I thought you guys were referring to ESPNU since that is it's channel number.

Actually, that's not supposed to be the date. That's supposed to be month and year.

September 2009

There was initially a list of dates posted, but it was later removed. So far, all of those dates have held up, but apparently the original Huntington/Charleston date isn't going to hold up.

I have only seen next Wednesday, the 9th as the date for both Huntington/Charleston and Lexington.

That's what I had seen as well, and that's what the initial list stated. I'm just pointing out that the numbers on the site now aren't supposed to be dates - just month/year.
