This is a snippet from the Reuters article. No mention of Columbus.

The company begins its HD launches with 11 local markets including: Austin, TX;
Baltimore; Cleveland; Columbia, S.C.; Flint, Mich.; Greenville, S.C.;
Huntsville, Ala.; Jackson, Miss.; Knoxville, Tenn.; Orlando, Fla.; and Richmond,
Va. The addition of these markets brings DISH Network's local HD penetration to
80 percent of U.S. TV households.

According to what Charlie said the other day at CES, they will be adding 60 LiL HD markets this year. I would surely like to believe that Columbus would be one of them. I know D* has HD locals from Columbus, so they're out there. It's just a matter of E* having the capacity to carry them. I'd say they'll be added once they get those new birds up.

Cincinnati hasn't gotten theirs either, and D* has had them for a year or two. Thank God for OTA.

Amen to that.
