Cable systems located in one market that carry another market’s channels in HD

Hill City, MN (Aitkin County....barely) is the Mpls market yet they have all Duluth stations in HD. This is due to the lineup being for 3 cities (2 counties and 2 different DMA's)
Barnum (Carlton County-Duluth DMA)
Floodwood (St Louis County-Duluth)

http://patscomputers.net/SCI/channels.php?t=HillCity&p=B3

They do carry KCCW (CBS) and KAWE (PBS) from Bemidji/Walker area which is the Mpls market...but only in SD

Aitkin County could have easily been a split county if the DMA lines were divided by ZIP codes
 
The following are all Northland Cable systems:

Aitkin County was in the Duluth DMA until about 10 years ago. (there still is an analog translator west of the city of Aitkin that is for FOX KQDS Duluth)
I think in this case its more the channel listings are for 3 cities. Hill City is all of 600 people in the middle of nowhere. Satellite gives you Minneapolis stations. So if you had cable and then switch to satellite your locals change :)
 
Ritter Communications' Eastern Arkansas system covers parts of several counties in the Jonesboro and Memphis TV markets: http://rittercommunications.com/assets/pdfs/channel_guides/lineup_1.pdf?v=1460062006

Both Jonesboro and Memphis Big 4 are in HD, as well as CW and ION Memphis. SD adds ABC Little Rock (which seems to be carried in most of Arkansas), AETN, PBS and TBN Memphis, and two religious independents (one each from Jonesboro [actually a satellite of a Little Rock station] and Memphis). However, no PBS HD at all.
 
Cox's Northwest Arkansas systems (Fayetteville-Fort Smith DMA) carry ABC Tulsa in HD alongside the local Big Four: https://www.cox.com/content/dam/cox/residential/documents/tv/channel-lineup/arkansas/cl_nwark.pdf (Main system)
https://www.cox.com/content/dam/cox/residential/documents/tv/channel-lineup/arkansas/cl_siloam.pdf (Siloam Springs; CBS Tulsa added SD only and OETA added in SD and HD)
https://www.cox.com/content/dam/cox/residential/documents/tv/channel-lineup/arkansas/cl_ft_smith.pdf (Fort Smith; OETA also added in SD and HD)
 
Comcast Chase City-South Hill VA (Mecklenburg County - Raleigh-Durham DMA) also serves parts of Lunenburg County (Richmond DMA). All of Raleigh's network affiliates are carried in HD, along with PBS Richmond and UNCTV, while Richmond's Big 3 are SD only. SD also adds a religious independent from Raleigh.

BTW, the FCC's Cable Search says Chase City and the Lunenburg communities are served by a different company (Windjammer Cable), but Zap2it could only pull up Comcast. Google searches were of no use. Did Windjammer shut down its system there?
