Cities served by two or more cable companies

Pasadena, California: We have Charter, Champion Broadband, and MAYBE Time Warner. But our town is mostly Charter, as far as I know.
Dallas: Charter and Time Warner
 
Comcast Lewistown PA (Harrisburg DMA) carries WPSU State College (Johnstown DMA) instead of WITF. Lewistown's other cable provider, Nittany Media, does carry WITF, along with WPSU and WVIA Scranton in SD and HD.

Looking at the Comcast lineup for the area, I am guessing it was originally a different system, and must have just been taken over by Comcast. The reason I say this is because none of their digital or HD channels go with that of Comcast, and it just looks very different. Also, does this mean Lewistown residents have options, or does it mean one part of the city is served by one system, and the other part another?
 
Ever since these "cursed" threads started, especially the one with the cable lineups, I'm trying to understand the rationale on how these "systems" are cursed. It seems to me, by purusing through some of the thread, that these lineups serves the smallest communities in the country--not exactly places where it can be more justifiable to carry a boatload of channels, and having the infrastructure to do so. It's fine for Dish Network and DirecTV to offer 300-400 channel lineups because they service the entire country, while cable TV service is designed to provide TV programming to only certain pockets of the country. Places like Los Angeles, New York City, Philly, and other large metropolises can handle larger channel lineups, while a cable system in a place like "Podunk, Mississippi" may be not have the economics and infrastructure to handle even a 100-channel lineup.
 
Dowagiac MI (St Joseph County - South Bend DMA) has Comcast and Sister Lakes Cable (a semi-cursed system where again you need a QAM tuner to get HD locals, even though you can get other HD channels with a box. Also, WXMI is carried instead of WSJV for FOX HD.)
Comcast: http://www.zap2it.com/rmp/tvgrid/tvgridprint?lineupid=USA-MI21631-X&tz=US/Eastern&time=0
Sister Lakes:

BTW, WSJV is a semi-cursed station; see that thread for more.

Sister Lakes actually carries both WXMI and WSJV in HD, according to their website.
