Lexington, KY gets local CW channel

[kalone]

Dish added channel 28 and I just checked and it works. It 27.2 OTA CW here. Wonder why Dish calls it channel 28?

Since you can't remap 2 channels to the same spot (27) Dish has a 3 part "thought" on numbering subchannels. The main station gets the "known" number (27)
-If the actual station broadcast is something else and not being used they use that number....which is 36...but the ABC station is on 36
-they try and use the "old" pre DTV conversion number (which would have been 13)
-they randomly choose a number or settle on a number possibly with the main station

Assume they (WKYT) wanted CW next in the guide to their main one

The market down the road from me is like that. CBS is on 12 (normal station) but Fox subchannel is on 38. The RF station is 12 so point 1 is null. They were on 38 pre conversion so Fox is 38

glad to see dish add cwkyt to the line up Now lets hope that WTVQ ABC can some how make a offer to add MYTVQ2 to the lineup on dish. Also the WYMT station. Last I heard WYMT may do away with its CBS title and come a ind. station so it would be more likely to make leadway to get on dish. Also I heard talk of possibly making another DMA for us folks down here in southeastern KY
