Has anyone heard when Dish Network may add WLTZ-CW & WLGA? Here in my market... Dish Network has had locals since '03 (or '04... I don't remember which), but they never offered the local Independent station. DirecTV added my locals in 2010 and offered it from the start, but Dish Network didn't get around to adding it until this year. When my local CBS added a CW sub-channel, DirecTV added it pretty at the start (February 2011), but DISH has yet to add it. There are markets in which Dish has a leg up on DirecTV when it comes to SD-LiL, so you never know... There may be some potential good news for you regarding WTLZ-DT2, but I stress the "MAY" part. A while back, the satcasters agreed that by February, 2013, if they offered an HD local to a market, they'd offer them all. There's one stipulation we know of... which is that the station HAS to be transmitted in HD OTA, but what we don't know is whether an HD sub-channel is still eligible given that the station already has one channel being carried. With luck, that won't be an issue, and WTLZ-DT2 will be carried in HD on both services soon. ~Alan
