regional news networks

[mikedz4]

Will dish or direct ever carry news networks like Ohio News Network, Pennsylvania cable network, Pittsburgh cable news channel, cltv,etc?

Maybe they could put them in a seperate regional news package for people who want them?

 

[Mr Tony]

if they ever carried them, they would probably be put on spotbeams for the local markets as to not waste bandwidth

The first two I use to get on free to air. Then ONN went internet based. PCN still up there

 

[mikedz4]

If ONN is internet based then why can't i watch it live on the internet?

 

[Mr Tony]

no what I mean its supplied to the different cable co's via IP internet and fibre

they use to be up on KU Band satellite

 

[mikedz4]

were they ever a livestream on the internet? I know it's off topic.

 

[Mr Tony]

no just parts of it were online

I liked it for the replays fo the various Ohio news stations newscasts (they usually showed Columbus, Cleveland and Cincy station...I think it was Columbus 10 (who owns ONN) and WEWS Cincy. I forget the Cleveland station
