These channels were up on the big dish satellites long before laws were created to disallow out of market channels. They have been grandfathered. Recently, the law changed and if a local broadcaster does not want a superstation to show certain programming because the local broadcaster owns the local rights to the show(s), Dish will not allow the viewing of UPN or WB superstations in that market.Originally posted by jericho
By the way, does anyone know why they are allowed to sell the WB and UPN superstations from Boston, New York, L.A., Denver, etc, to outside markets? What makes these stations different from the law that says you can't sell outside markets?
