Norfolk VA Locals?

[Stu]

Anyone have any idea why Dish decided to not include Norfolk in the last round of locals?

At #41, and with DTV having provided locals for the last year and a half, I was just curious if anyone had any iformation?

Hopefully we will be announced, perhaps in 2004......

Dish has a satellite sitting around waiting for a launch date. Once it goes up their local market capacity will go up by about 64%. They will be able to add a ton of markets. Hopefully your market will be added. Note that once the satellite is in orbit at 121, they seem to only be able to do a few markets per month because of all the setup for contracts with local stations, securing a reception facility in the market, high speed connections back to the uplink center, etc.
