E* Spotbeam question

[RickP1]

I have a question about E* spot beams. I was looking at transponder 3 on the 119 satellite on lyngsat.com, it lists this transponder as having local channels for the Northwest, N. Calif, Central Plains, Northeast, & South Florida. My question is on spotbeam transponders are all channels on the transponder sent into each of these footprints or is it broken up to where only specific channels are beamed into certain footprints? If all local channels are sent into each of these areas, isin't that somehow a waste of bandwidth? I am just curious what is the reasoning of sending S. Florida channels into the Northwest if they can't leagally receive them? Or am I way off base here???

Only the channels on a particular beam are sent into that area. You will see the listing of the approximate beam center in a column near the right hand side of the listing.

There are several Transponder 3s. Note the dividing lines between tham.

On that map do you know what the square over DC & MD is??

Perhaps a blooper.
