NYC, LA and Chicago are the only 3 that will remain at this point as distant networks.

I'm wondering about Denver. I know its no longer a distant right now but the DMA is HUGE...it covers I think 4 states for sure (Neb, Col, Wyoming, SD) so if they move this to spotbeam, what about the people in northern Wyoming or SD?
I'll be quite surprised if they truly do away with Denver as a distant local. They need to have one in each of the four CONUS time zones.
With the new rules about distant networks, very few subs now qualify for them, and it doesn't make sense to provide 5 sets of distant NETs for this shriking groups of subs.
It probably won't be too long before only NYC and LA are the only cities available.

Man that brings back memories. The Denver 5" Netlink offered them on Cband. Loved the central time zone feeds. They were the first to start to get picky about who could recieve them. Remember when Seattle had a distant feed as well on old satellite s2.
On the latest E* brouchures, Denver is STILL listed as an available distant.
It is still listed as being an available distant on the E* network qualification website, in ALL distant network areas.
E* has NOT said anything (yet) about it no longer being available as a distant, so everyone is safe for now.
And as Iceberg said, the Denver DMA is huge, so it might not make that much sense to move it anyway.

I have 3 stations from Denver as distant networks. Being in Carolina I like the time difference. I hope they don't drop Denver.which by the way they did at one time.
exactly smoky
they did drop them for new subs but people who had them could keep them. I lost Denver Fox when I changed programming and couldnt get it back

you sure? On my add locals page, it still only shows New York, Chicago, Denver, and Los Angeles.yellowfever101 said:
Course with Dallas and Atlanta being put onto a ConUS beam on E10, it does look promising for both.
I still get Denver NBC on waivers. I have Atlanta NBC and ABC, but the signal is very low right now at 5:35pm PT. I was getting smart card errors for a while. When does Atlanta leave for spot beam? I liked NBC for the Falcons and ABC for the ACC ABC games.
