[dfergie]

The Albuquerque locals will be welcome for those of us without OTA HD...

 

[Mr Tony]

Bob
Is KARE-DT not available? I thought the big 4 for a city are availble? you have ABC, CBS, and FOX for Mpls (6347, 48, 50) but no NBC (I assume 6349)?

 

[goaliebob99]

I thought that too.. but no there is NBC's missing from a couple of markets.. there still uplinked though...

 

[goaliebob99]

Current Markets that Have HD LIL avabile but these channels are not avaible to those subs even though they are uplinked

6371 KTVX - ABC SALT LAKE CITY UT - Clear Channel
6367 WXIA - NBC Alanta - GANNETT TELEVISION
6360 WUSA - CBS Wash. DC. - GANNETT TELEVISION
6349 KARE - NBC Minneapolis. Min. - GANNETT TELEVISION
6332 KUSA- NBC Denver - GANNETT TELEVISION
6325 KRQE - CBS Alberq. NM - Unknown

6371 KTVX
6367 WXIA
6360 WUSA
6349 KARE
6332 KUSA
6325 KRQE

I suspect that Gannett is holding out for more compensation for retransmission of their digital signals.

 

[ronjohn]

The Atlanta stations are now turned on. WSB, WAGA, WGCL. Are these still on 129?

 

[BFG]

here's my chart with HD by sat and TP below updated

KARE-Gannett
KUSA-Gannett

see a trend here?

 

[goaliebob99]

That certinatly is a nice trend.. allthough not a trend people in those dmas like..

 

[Mr Tony]

I find it amazing for Mpls that ABC is on (KSTP). They are locally owned (Hubbard Broadcasting owns all ABC's licensed in MN) so I figured they'd give Dish more flack than other stations

 

[SummitAdvantageRetailer]

Bob,

WUSA is a CBS channel, not NBC. WRC's the one that's NBC here in the DC market.

 

[SummitAdvantageRetailer]

But yes, WUSA is a Gannett channel.

 

[goaliebob99]

Whoops... sorry.. was thinking of Denver's NBC station when i did that one.. all fixed

 

[randyj]

That's just beautiful. HD LiLs finally here. Trying to justify a 622 with my wife and her ER won't be HD.

 

[mdonnelly]

Perhaps some messages to Gannett might be in order.

Anyone in Denver confirm the three others are available? I'll find out tonight but was wondering....and if they are how is the PQ?

That first one above should be WPVI-DT (not KPVI-DT), the Philadelphia ABC station. They are, in order, the ABC, CBS, NBC and FOX affiliates for Phila.

 

[BobMurdoch]

Hmmm. I never thought about it before but how did KYW get away with not having a W prefix?

 

[Mr Tony]

Hmmm. I never thought about it before but how did KYW get away with not having a W prefix?

because its attached to a radio station that is grandfathered in with the callsign. From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grandfather_clause

The FCC has required all radio stations licensed in the United States since the 1930s to have four-letter callsigns starting with a W (for stations east of the Mississippi River) or a K (for stations west of the Mississippi River). However, stations with three-letter callsigns and stations west of the Mississippi River starting with a W (plus KDKA, KQV and KYW in Pennsylvania) licensed before the 1930s have been permitted to keep their callsigns.

Since both are owned by the same people, they can get by with KYW-TV
