NEW LOCALS NOW APPEARING ON DISH NETWORK!!!

Just checked the 8000 channel block and so far my local WB is up and running. Still waiting for others to appear. If you have a DP, just type in 8000 to see what is there so far (if any).

On another note, Dish network has posted all of the new locals for each city. Visit their web site to see what you will be getting.

Pittsburghs list a couple I have never heard of. Strange but happy for the additions.

I get the supers in the 8xxx range now, gee KWGN is now on 3 channels.

This link was posted in another thread by Brian but I wanted to post it here in case some may not have seen it:

Take a close look at which satellite your locals will be on. Some smaller foreign language channels are on 148 or 61.5.

I'm pretty sure that this has been asked before but maybe someone has more info now.

Does anybody have any idea (guesses are welcome too) what if any of these new channels gray area subscribers can expect?

Tanks,
