Cable systems missing a big 4 network, or major cable network

D

ding12

I wanted to know if there are any cable systems not carrying an affiliate of one of the big 4 networks (ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox) and not as a temporary holdout for retransmission negotiation reasons, but a system that just doesn't carry an affiliate of the network as if it didn't matter. If not a broadcast network, I also wanted to know if a major cable network (like CNN or ESPN) is missing.

I know not a cable system, but DirecTV on flight on JetBlue and other airlines, doesn't carry an ABC affiliate, but carries an NBC, CBS and Fox affiliate and ESPN. It's like ABC is not crucial.

No FOX affiliate. They carried FOXNET until it shut down. Hell the system is only 13 channels and has been posted numerous times here

from the cursed thread

14 USE to be FoxNet (yes the same Foxnet in areas where there was no Fox near there). When it was dropped they never tried to pick up Fox OTA (actually you would need a pretty elaborate setup to pick it up)

No ABC affiliate, but two FOX affiliates

DeRidder, LA, just up the road, carries KBMT for ABC as the market both communities are in does not have an ABC affiliate of its own
 
I think there still may be some systems in rural Nebraska that don't carry a FOX station and some others that don't carry an NBC station
