Despite what Screener says, this system actually serves the rural area just outside of Pomeroy. Pomeroy proper is served by Suddenlink.
 
Some of these might be defunct, but these I found on TV Guide were too interesting to pass up.

Comcast Clinton, MI (Lenawee County - Toledo DMA)
Three of its home market's Big Four (and its PBS) are north of 13.
2 - WJBK (FOX 2 Detroit)
3 - WMYD (MNT 20 Detroit)
4 - WDIV (NBC 4 Detroit)
5 - blank

15 - WTVG (ABC 13 Toledo)
17 - WTOL (CBS 11 Toledo)
22 - WUPW (FOX 36 Toledo)
24 - WGTE (PBS 30 Toledo)
99 - CBET (CBC 9 Windsor)
It's notable for two reasons outside of this:
1. It's the only American system outside of the Detroit market to carry WWJ
2. It's one of only two systems (D&P in Petersburg is the other) to carry both WJBK and WUPW

25 - WBDT (CW 26 Springfield)
 
Most of Comcast's Detroit area systems carry WWJ above channel 13, a rarity for a Big Three affiliate (even one that wasn't historically a Big Three affiliate). Charter (formerly Bright House) in Livonia also has WWJ above 13 (on 14). However, Charter's northern Oakland County system has WWJ on channel 6.
 
Since most people now watch in the HD Channel Groupings, it's worth noting that WWJ-TV is grouped in with the other major nets in that area. For example on Comcast in the Detroit area ABC (WXYZ) is 231, NBC (WDIV) is 232, CBS (WWJ) is 233 and Fox (WJBK) is 234.
 
Vogtmann Engineering serves Alger, Sterling, and Prescott (Arenac and Ogemaw counties - both Flint/Saginaw DMA).

I'm currently on vacation in a home in Kissimmee, Fla. in which this person has DirecTV. I checked and it has all the locals..... EXCEPT WTMO Telemundo Orlando. That's right. There's no Channel 31 spot for WTMO. It's not on the listings.

And also not as important but WEFS Channel 68 is also not on the lineup.

Its a low powered station and therefore does not qualify for must carry. Plus Directv carries Telemundo (the national feed) already

The area is very rural so I can understand having RFDTV in lifeline. My uncle lives in Elbow Lake.

a couple months ago they replaced WUCW (which is not carried at all) with the Cowboy Channel
