    does anyone remember the Ohio News Network?

    I miss ONN never watched it on satellite but had it on Time Warner cable. Stinks that it was not profitable for the former owners of WBNS-TV (The Wolfe family) to continue. They ran it out of a double-wide trailer next to the WBNS Studios in Columbus :)

    AT&T To Buy DIRECTV for $67 Billion

    I have UVerse for TV so I am mixed how I feel about this whole deal.. As long as my IPTV service stays as is (or gets additional channels) I am fine. I see this really as a way for AT&T to have their own service provider to offer video to rural areas (or areas they don't want to upgrade to...

    Outage due to sun

    As a kid I was always amused by the sun fade each year.. Would watch the good o' analog C-Band signals on cable fade to static then eventually the cable company would put up a cheesy slide with a "sun" on it explaining the issue.

    Need Disney HD to switch

    My guess is not IF they make up but WHEN.. all programmers want their programming in as many eyes as possible.. It's realistically only a matter of time before ABC/Disney and Dish become 'pals' again.

    Dish And The Dream Of Internet TV

    Tropical Storm News channel

    Was watching WWL at work earlier here in OH (My employer has a DirectTV Commercial account) and we get the "Isaac Channel" While WWL Streams their news online it was cool seeing it on the tv... Surprised Charlie isn't doing something like this.. Guess he doesn't want to pay someone to sit...
