It depends on what johnh has said in the past: the signal that goes to the POP in Puerto Rico, and they might already have the deal since it's Storefront. I think there are hurrying things up because of the Distant Networks issue, Dish lost again. Hey John nice food at the bull's bbq got his autograph last night and I took a picture with Greg Luzinki and my kid.

Geez when will they add T-63 for the Milwaukee market. I thought I heard someone say that when the locals were moved to 110 it was gonna be added.

Picture doesn't look too bad right now. Its Fox during "FOX Time" but RTN (Retro TV Network) the rest of the time. Also has Retro Jams at night (music videos)

110 TP4 has Milwaukee & Traverse City
119 has Champaign and Milwaukee

Comparing to WNYW with my DVR 625.
Well the sounds a bit low, and the picture quality is a tad bit brighter, hardly noticeable unless viewed side by side.
The WNYW feed has like a 1 second delay. I would of thought the oppisite.

Overall its pretty good.

Retro Television Network Announces Three New Affiliations



LITTLE ROCK, Ark., June 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Retro Television Network
(RTN) announced today that it is launching RTN affiliations in three
additional markets -- Lexington, Ky., Alexandria, La., and San Juan, Puerto
Rico. These affiliations will be run out of the Equity Broadcasting
Corporation (EBC) headquarters in Little Rock, utilizing EBC's Central
Automated Satellite Hub (C.A.S.H.™) System.
RTN is a new network that airs ratings-proven programs from the 60s,
70s, 80s and 90s, in addition to local programming and sports
entertainment. Since its launch last year, RTN has experienced continued
growth and success with its affiliates, five of which are in top-50
markets.
WBLU, Channel 62, will serve as the RTN affiliate in Lexington, a
market that reaches more than 475,000 households. The station is under
contract to be purchased by EBC Nashville, Inc., who plans to launch RTN on
the station by August 1st.
In Alexandria, KWCE, Channel 36, is the new RTN affiliate. The station,
owned by Pollack / Belz Communications Company, Inc., launched RTN
programming on June 29.
WSJX, Channel 24 in San Juan, will be the first RTN affiliation outside
of the continental United States. This station, owned by Storefront
Television, LLC, is set to launch RTN programming as early as July 1.
RTN's Neal Ardman notes, "We first introduced RTN in July 2005 to fill
a programming void. One year later, the network continues to gain momentum
and will be on air in 10 markets by August."
Equity Broadcasting Corporation
Equity Broadcasting Corporation, which has entered into an agreement to
merge with Coconut Palm Acquisition Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: CNUT),
is one of the largest owners and operators of television stations in the
United States and a distribution platform for Spanish-language media. EBC
