I remember TCI in Tri-Cities in the 90's. There was a time when they carried KSTW (Ind.) out of Tacoma/Seattle. KSTW changed to CBS in the Seattle market, I remember a time when TCI continued to run it despite local CBS local affiliates. I think it was briefly lost, but brought back when the CBS experiment at KSTW failed. Today, most networks have affiliates in Tri/Yakima so there is no Seattle station on the air on cable in this region, except for the PBS affiliate KCTS.

I notice Charter's Prosser lineup has KEPR for CBS, but has KNDO for NBC and KAPP for ABC. Not KNDU/KVEW? Back in those days, KAPP and KNDO had those studios next to each other on South 24th Ave, and they fed some newscasts to KNDU/KVEW. Some newscasts on 25 and 42 were local to Tri-Cities I think. Now it's the opposite.
In this lineup, the Lower Valley had Yakima channels only...no Pasco.
