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

Corsicana TX carries Waco Temp Stations Coriscana is about the same distance to dallas and Waco. If I were running the cable in Corsicana I would carry Dallas stations

You mean Northland? I only see KWTX (CBS) in HD on their system (looking at Zap2It). The rest are from DFW. In analog, they have all the DFW stations plus ABC and CBS from Waco.
 
All of the cable systems in western Ventura County, CA (the northernmost part of the Los Angeles DMA) continue to carry adjacent-market KEYT/3 Santa Barbara under the FCC "significantly viewed" exemption. I know for a fact that Time Warner, which is by far the dominant MSO up there, carries KEYT in HD, because it was listed in one of the legal notices they had to run in the Los Angeles Times when their carriage agreement was about to expire and was being renegotiated.

Charter in Harvard IL (Chicago DMA) carries WMVS Milwaukee in SD and HD but not WTTW or WYCC. All of the commercial local channels come from Chicago. And for some odd reason it carries WGN SD on channel 17 instead of channel 9. WBBM SD is on channel 7 (where WLS should be), and WLS is on channel 5 (where WMAQ should be).

Charter's universal mapping for their Wisconsin systems has WGN America on Channel 17; it seems like their mapping resembles their Lake Geneva systems, but with Chicago stations wedged into locations were Milwaukee stations would usually be (4 is WMAQ where WTMJ would be, WLS on 5 usually has WDJT there, WBBM on 7 is where WITI is, and WFLD on 12 replaces WISN, then randomly WIFR from Rockford on 15). I would assume since it's their only Chicago-area system, Charter controls Harvard from a Wisconsin headend which usually gets signals from the Milwaukee fiber node, and it's easier to get WMVS in HD from there than to have a setup to grab WTTW via antenna or a subcontract with Comcast.
 
Time Warner Falls City NE (Omaha DMA) has KOLN Lincoln in HD instead of KMTV; Fidelity Rolla MO (St Louis DMA) has KSPR Springfield in HD instead of KDNL (which isn't carried at all).

This system also serves Baldwin (Traverse City DMA).

MIcom’s Mio system (also Traverse City DMA) carries the Big 4 from Traverse City plus WBKB from Alpena and its subchannels in HD.

Charter in Ludington, MI (Traverse City DMA) carries WGVU in HD but not WCMW, whose tower is roughly 10 miles from Ludington.
 
From the "Most affiliates of one network on one cable system" thread:

Comcast's Waukegan system in Lake Co., IL offers four PBS members in both SD and HD, including WTTW-11 Chicago, WYCC-20 Chicago, WMVS-10 Milwaukee and (recently added) WYIN-56 Gary, IN.

Charter in Roseburg and Coos Bay OR (Eugene DMA) carries KOBI Medford in HD, alongside KTCW/KMCB (KMTR satellites). For a while though, KOBI was the only NBC station carried in HD.

And this from another thread:

Roseburg, Oregon is in Eugene DMA, they received Oregon Public Broadcasting off the air via translator. However, if you have charter cable, they received PBS station from Medford (KSYS Southern Oregon Public Television). KSYS is in Meford DMA market not Eugene DMA market.

KSYS is carried in SD and HD.
 
From the "Some questions about cable TV" thread:

AKA said:
Comcast in Chico/Oroville, CA carries the Chico/Redding stations and four Sacramento/Stockton locals. So there are two ABC, CBS, NBC and PBS stations on the system:

KRCR (ABC, Redding)
KXTV (ABC, Sacramento)

KHSL (CBS, Chico)
KOVR (CBS, Stockton)

KNVN (NBC, Chico)
KCRA (NBC, Sacramento)

KIXE (PBS, Redding)
KVIE (PBS, Sacramento)

No Sacramento Fox, CW or MyNetworkTV and no KCRA, KXTV or KOVR in HD. KVIE is in HD, though.

Country Cablevision in Burnsville NC, which I mentioned on three other threads, carries CBS, FOX, ABC, CW and PBS from its own market, NBC and CBS from the Tri-Cities, and CBS from Charlotte in HD. WYFF (NBC) is SD only. The other cable company in Burnsville, Charter, has no HD channels at all!
 
Charter in Livingston CA (Fresno DMA) only carries ABC and CBS from Fresno in HD, but has ABC, NBC, FOX, PBS and MNT in HD from Sacramento.
 
Two cable companies - Mediacom and Liberty Communications - serve both West Liberty IA (Quad Cities DMA) and West Branch IA (Cedar Rapids DMA). Both companies' lineups tend to lean toward Cedar Rapids, with all of that market's network affiliates carried in HD. As for the Quad Cities stations, only WHBF is carried in HD on Mediacom, while KWQC, WQAD, KLJB and WQPT are in HD on Liberty.

Time Warner in St Marys OH (Auglaize County - Lima DMA) carries NBC and FOX from Lima, CBS from Dayton and ABC from Toledo in HD. It's the same in SD except ABC is WKEF Dayton.
