thanks...No fights with ABC or "All" the networks. It is local channels owned by Sinclair extorting higher cost to carry their channels....They pull this with all the cable networks.

They Only can do it if there is no affiliate in the market. In alpena there is no nbc. So dish can import one. If it gets pulled because of a dispute dish can substitute a different affiliate.
This is the only example of dish being able to substitute a network
I know that. I just was bringing up the point that I still have some tweaks left to attempt on the vhf antenna on my OTA antenna system, BEFORE I can dump Dish once and for all.
Yes, ABC KOMO4 in Seattle has the same crawl. Ditto, what's up? Didn't we just play this last year? I understand why people are cutting the chord & sat links.
One company owns all (4) ? I know it's not unheard of - I grew up in Lima OH and it's that way today. When I grew up there, there was just an NBC affiliate and we got ABC and CBS from either Toledo, Columbus or Dayton (in some cases, two options for some networks). There was no FOX even available, if I'm not mistaken.
Sinclair owns one and runs the other. Both stations have network subchannels. So yeah they'd lose all 4 nets if they get pulled.
Since both are full powered Sinclair can't legally own both. I know in Lima Elliot block can own both as one is low powered.
What the heck are you talking about? He asked if DISH is currently in a dispute with ABC or the Networks. They are not.
Dish is in a contract issue with 9&10 and fox 32 which is owned by heritage broadcast
Now 7&4 and 29&8 are part of this contract issue
Result no locals
Not sure if it will work down there. But up here a lot of people are changing their service address to zip code 48075 and picking up Detroit
If we lose our ABC local (Portland OR) do we still have access to On Demand for ABC Primetime shows? No OTA for me.
Well this really sucks. For all that will be involved in this latest "We all want more money" fight, I sure hope yours does not last as long as WWTV from Cadillac, MI. That is getting almost to three months now. Now I see channel 7 from Traverse City. Sure happy I am able to get all these OTA. A real bummer for others.

Michigan is not the place to retire. Too cold all the time. Arizona is where it is nice....

My son got married 3 months ago. Since then ALL my wife can talk about is grand-kids. Which are probably years away yet. She now won't move very far away, and all she wants to to babysit them 24/7/365.
I'm doomed....
So Tawas area was a compromise. Nice area, "ocean side" (lake Huron), hospital, lots of support for older folks, however winters suck. But I'm only 80~ miles away from there now, so am already used to the winters, as they aren't that much worse up there.

None of you ride snowmobiles? Michigan is great in the winter (Mio area)
Serious snowmobile accident at age 17 in 1976. Had my right leg 1/2 cut off above the knee (the bone never broke, and it's healed now, but no feeling due to severed nerves) and broke my neck. They didn't know my neck was broken, so never stabilized it. The broken neck has caused issues the rest of my life, and I finally had surgery in 2007 at the point where I had over 90% compression of my spinal cord. Fused 3 levels, and added a titanium plate, wore a hard collar for over a year. Doctor afterwards admitted he should have also added some rods for stability. The surgery was successful, but I no longer have an innate sense of balance. I have to make sure I always look at a horizon (line level with floor), or I don't know which way is "up", lol Bending over to tie my shoe can get interesting...
I've never been on a snowmobile since.
