If only, but that'd infuriate a lot of subs that'd need to get a D500+ upgrade to get the channel. |

KTXL is FOX 40 in Sacramento (not Spokane). It looks like E* has definitely broken off talks with Tribune.

Spokane is (or was) the uplink center for KTXL, not the broadcast city.

Well, hey, you could always skip this thread and just wait for the official announcement. That way you would not have to feel "teased".

I see the Pittsburgh HD being uplinked a week after Indy is yanked as proof positive that if a couple of stations are being a PITA to Dish, they will pick up their box of toys and move on to the next city. Too bad it wasn't HERE though.
See ya

So let me get this straight on HD LIL:
Northeast (including the Washington, DC DMA): On the 61.5 wings
West and South: On the dreaded 129
Midwest: On the 118.7 with a humongous dish with so-so elevation look angles for those in the northern central states
Is that efficient or what? Good grief!

Given that Tribune's financial health is strained right now, I would venture a guess there was a wide gap in dollars for retransmission. |

Darn good question. I have the addition on Groundhog day last year, but I cannot find any mention of its disappearance. I'm sure it's in there hidden with a few mass changes that occurred last year
See ya
