Cable systems that cross market lines

Comcast Attica IN (Fountain County - Indianapolis DMA) crosses into Warren County (Champaign-Springfield DMA).
 
Comcast Monticello, IN (Indianapolis DMA) also serves Remington, IN (Chicago DMA) but carries mostly Indianapolis stations, with the exception of CBS Lafayette, NBC South Bend, and ABC and PBS from Chicago.

This is also one of those rare instances where a cable system crosses a time zone boundary. Monticello is in the Eastern Time Zone while Remington is in the Central Time Zone.
 
Do any cable systems cross the time zone line near Chattanooga, TN or Columbus, GA/Phenix City, AL, to name a few?

The Charter system in West Point GA-Lanett AL straddles two states, two time zones and two DMAs. Most of the town of West Point is in Troup County (Atlanta DMA), but a small portion lies in Harris County (Columbus DMA). Oddly, no Atlanta stations are carried in SD or HD!

Also, I think Comcast Chattanooga crosses into parts of Sequatchie County (Central Time Zone).
 
Charter Springfield NE (Omaha DMA) extends into Waverly (Lancaster County - Lincoln DMA). Only Omaha stations are carried in HD, despite Waverly being just 10-15 miles from Lincoln.
 
D&P Communications is based in Petersburg, MI (Monroe County - Detroit DMA) and serves Adrian, Blissfield, Britton, Deerfield, Dundee, Hudson, Morenci, Palmyra, Riga, and Tecumseh in addition to Petersburg. All of the communities mentioned besides Dundee are in Lenawee County and the Toledo DMA. Hudson is on the line between Lenawee and Hillsdale counties (Lansing DMA), but most of Hudson is in Lenawee County. In HD, ABC, CBS, FOX, and NBC are from both Detroit and Toledo, with CW and ION HD from Detroit and PBS HD from Toledo, along with a religious independent from Toledo. SD adds CBC from Windsor and MNT and PBS from Detroit. This is an example what a system should do if it crosses market lines in regards to carrying locals in HD: http://d-pcommunications.com/images/pdf/201401 Full Channel Lineup_Website.pdf
 
Time Warner Winnie TX (Houston DMA) also serves Hamshire (Beaumont DMA). Oddly, no local channels are carried in HD from either market, just the national networks.
 
Time Warner Union City OH (Darke County - Dayton DMA) crosses into Union City IN (Randolph County - Indianapolis DMA). Only Dayton stations are carried in HD.
 
Charter's Osage Beach MO system covers parts of Camden County (Springfield DMA) and Miller and Morgan counties (Columbia DMA). The Big 4 from both Springfield and Columbia are carried in HD, along with an independent from Springfield and PBS from Sedalia (Kansas City DMA, but serves Columbia).
 
Does it say if they carry that new NBC station from Delaware in HD? I would assume that channels 16 (CBS) and 47 (ABC) from Salisbury, MD are.
 
Comcast Carroll County MD (Baltimore DMA) serves the town of Mount Airy, which straddles two counties (Carroll, Frederick) and two DMAs (Baltimore, Washington).
