Cable systems that cross market lines

and the zipcode you entered in your link (56065) is Mapleton which has even less...the only sub they carry is the CW from Rochester (which makes no sense as Mapleton is near Mankato which has its own cable only CW)
 
When I entered that ZIP Code on Zap2it, it showed four lineups for Midco Waseca:
Midcontinent Communications - Cable (Waseca)
Midcontinent Communications - Rebuild (Waseca)
Midcontinent Communications - Digital Rebuild (Waseca)
Midcontinent Communications - Digital (Waseca)

I linked to the third one because I thought that's what they had. It's the same when I enter New Richland's ZIP Code (56072).
 
well the Midco site says otherwise...and I would believe the Midco site (since that is the cable companies site) over zap2it.

Great example of zap2it's "wrongness" is a zip in the Minneapolis suburbs where a friend lives. The ONLY thing they can get in the city limits (the zip code) is Comcast. Yet zap2it shows
-Centurylink (they do not have a agreement to start cable in that town yet)
-Comcast
-CSI Communications (no such company I could find in MN)
-Lonsdale Telephone (which operates ONLY in Lonsdale which is about 40 miles away)
-Mediacom (which is the town next to it but not in this particular town)

if you enter the zips of New Richland (56072) and 56065 (Mapleton), you will see way different listings. Waseca and Waterville (56096) have the same lineup (under Waterville..rebuilt)
 
Buckeye CableSystem in Toledo, OH (Lucas County - Toledo DMA) also serves Bedford, MI (Monroe County - Detroit DMA). The lineups are the exact same except for the locals (which are in HD unless indicated).
Available on both sides of the border:
ABC, CBS, CW, MNT, religious independent WLMB, and both PBS members from Toledo (WBGU and MNT are SD only)
ABC and NBC Detroit
CBC Windsor
Available only on the Toledo side:
FOX and NBC Toledo
Available only on the Detroit side:
CW, FOX, ION, and MNT Detroit (CW is SD only)

Also, Bedford gets Detroit subchannels only (with the addition of subchannels of WGTE, WTOL, and WTVG) while Toledo gets Toledo subchannels only (even those that aren't cleared in one market doesn't get seen on the other side of the state line).

Southwest Broadband Lakefield MN serves mainly Jackson County (Minneapolis DMA) but crosses into Brewster and Round Lake in Nobles County (Sioux Falls DMA). All of the Twin Cities network affiliates are carried in HD, along with KSMN (PBS), ABC and CBS Sioux Falls and CBS Mankato. SD adds PBS Minneapolis, NBC and MNT Sioux Falls and FOX Mankato.

From Tim from Springfield, IL on the "Worst Cable Systems" thread:

Tim from Springfield said:
Mediacom: Elmwood, Yates City, Farmington, Glasford, Hanna City, London Mills, Smithville, Fairview, Dunfermline & St. David, IL. All in Peoria/Bloomington DMA (Peoria or Fulton Counties) except for the Knox County community of Yates City and a small part of London Mills in Knox Co. (Quad Cities DMA). Even then, KLJB-18 Davenport (Fox) is the only QC station offered on the lineup:

That lineup may still appear halfway decent but IMO it's cursed compared to their lineup that includes these nearby communities of Brimfield, Bureau, Dunlap, Granville, Hennepin, Mark, Oak Park Estates, Princeville & Standard, IL (all in Peoria DMA except Bureau in the QC DMA--but even then only Peoria stations are carried even though Quad Cities can be received OTA with at least a fair to good signal on a decent antenna): http://www.mediacomtoday-lineup.com/lineup/229/brimfield_bureau_dunlap_granville_hennepin_ma.aspx

Charter Rochester, MN (Olmstead Co/Rochester DMA) also covers Zumbrota, MN (Goodhue Co/Mpls DMA) which brings up a quirk. The only HD stations carried are the Rochester stations and KTCA PBS Minneapolis. SD does have Mpls CBS, ABC, FOX
