Cincy folks wait no longer

[KUShep]

Well for NBC you will have to, but the rest of the locals should be available
9/5. Package will be no charge to those in the DMA until consent is reached
with the NBC affiliate. Same goes for Greenville, SC

Thanks for the information. I knew that channel 5, WLWT, NBC, might be
a problem because as of a couple of months ago I was told by the general
manager that the re-tranmission agreements were not final with Echostar
(he said they were with DirecTV) but would be done before Sept. 1st. It
looks like he was as accurate as channel 5's Eyewitness News.

Could you repost all the previous threads in this series? And is the
9/5 date a definite? Which channels in the Cincy market will we be
getting?

Thanks in advance

It sometimes takes a few days/weeks for the Address broker to be updated.
Check with the CSRs, you might have to play CSR Roulette in case the first
doesn't know about it yet.

Try again. I had the same problem this morning. At 1:40 PM I was there
qualified for Cincinnati

See ya

Greenville is indeed online as of today (9/5) - except for NBC.

The CSR had no advance warning of these two cities being available until
customers called in to ask.

I had to call 4 times today to get the locals. The first call was at
12:35 am and the computers were down. The second call was at 1:05am and
they told me no Cincy locals. So I called at 10:00 am and got the same
response, but she did apply for a waiver,yee haa! The final call came
at 5:45pm and I was promply given the Cincy locals. They said they came
online at 5pm.
I just wanted to thank the group for the heads up.

Also, did not Charlie mention in a previous chat (where he said 3
cities) that the problem with Albuquerque is getting the feed back to
Cheyenne, since it seems a little phone company is having problems
laying fiber? I won't mention any names, but their initials are US
West...
