How long is a channel uplinked before becoming Available?

There really is no timeframe. Could be a week, 2 weeks a month or in some cases never.
With locals the reason it can take some time is because Dish needs to sign a deal with the owner of the station
 
Before Christmas my local PBS (WPSU) was uplinked in HD but it's yet to be turn to Available. How long does the testing process take?

In addition to what Iceberg mentioned it could be that they are waiting on a fiber backhaul capacity upgrade, or other equipment. Sometimes it takes a while for the actual signal to get from the market to the uplink center.
