I know some friends in the Quad Cities area (Davenport, IA - Moline, IL - Bettendorf, IA - Rock Island, IL) and I know they are scheduled to get their HD locals in October. Satracer? Anyone? Who's on the tap for the first week?

NOT Jackson, MS. Sorry, I could not help myself.

Exact dates would only be speculation and only confirmed when the market is actually lit up. However, Satelliteracer has proved to be a very reliable source for this information. The latest updated lists, by month projections, can be found at DirecTV.com http://directv.com/DTVAPP/global/contentPageNR.jsp?assetId=3620002

No one on the 2nd. Now the 1st, thats a different story, pending any unforseen circumstances.

 

[Malibu13]

RobertE is correct. If the same holds true for future launches as it has with previous launches, Wednesday's have been the norm for activations.

 

[RobertE]

Should be three markets on the 1st. I leave the announcement to Satracer.

There is a change of channel for a couple RSNs on the 1st and the 15th, so new channel launches for those weeks may happen on Thursday... They seem to not like changing station numbers and adding channels on the same days...

Satracer said Norfolk Va would be getting locals this week.
