Most interesting hotel/hospital lineups

Hilton Garden Inn - Columbia, MO
Provider: Mediacom

only a few HD channels, they had the local school district public access channel, how many hotel guests watch the school board meetings on the school public access channelView attachment 2364
I was at a Comfort Suites outside of Richmond VA years ago and they had all of the county public access channels. It was during the summer so most everything was just running elevator music with information about county board of supervisors meetings, county parks, and information about school starting the next month.

A bit more background on the Travelodge Sydney system...they were apparently sourcing HD signals from Bell TV's satellite arm. Bell had recently dumped CJCB's HD signal from the service, a screen was airing indicating the SD position (several smaller-market CTV stations had also had their HD signals spiked as well). So technically, there were two channel 4's on the system-analog CJCB and the Bell TV screen!

That's an incredible lineup for a Comfort Inn or any other chain. Sports fans from far and wide must check in there every weekend and never leave their rooms until Monday morning -- or Tuesday morning during NFL season.
 
I will finally get to report something in this thread in less than 2 weeks when I make my spring break trip to north Idaho. Everywhere I go, it is Spokane DMA, however (except for KLEW in Lewiston).
 
Yep Spokane is a much larger reach market than most cities of their size. Not only most of Eastern Washington (except Tricities Yakima) but all of Northern Idaho. I believe they reach well into British Columbia Canada as well.
 
Much of AB still gets Spokane TV on cable, and KSPS gets a lot of pledges from Alberta.

Ch. 27---was that an an actual MTV Canada (which I had never heard of) or Canada's MuchMusic?

MTV Canada is separate from MuchMusic but yes, one does exist, though it has never played any music videos at all due to prior licensing agreements when the channel was previously known as TalkTV.
 
I'm in the Best Western Inn at Hell's Canyon in Clarkston, WA (across the river from Lewiston ID). Using DIRECTV, all Spokane stations and KLEW-3 are on the system, of course, and it seems to be about 150 channels (no premium movie networks however). But also included on top of those 150 channels is about 30 SPANISH channels...WAPA America, TV Chile, two from Peru, HITN, TVE Spain, a movie channel, Discovery en Espanol, Discovery Familia, you name it...and this area is nowhere near a Hispanic majority (just under 3%).
Can't give you a full list, but I'm also heading to a hotel in Sandpoint tomorrow night so I'll give another report then.

Wow. Really? Nowhere near a Hispanic majority and yet gives you 30 Spanish channels? That's interesting and unheard of.
 
Also DIRECTV at the Hotel Ruby near Sandpoint ID, so the same lineup except way fewer Spanish channels (national feeds of Univision, Unimas, Telemundo and HITN available, but no Chile, Peru, TVE, etc.)
They give you free Starz and Encore unlike the Clarkston WA hotel. The phenomenal 'Ray' with Jamie Foxx is on Encore this morning (I've got that DVD!) Strangely, it shows KCBS and KABC from Los Angeles in the DNS lineup as 'subscribed' channels but I get the error message when I try those channels.

About 4 hours of driving await me back to Ellensburg this afternoon. :)

Staying at the Magnolia Tree in Anaheim, CA gets you access to Dish Network's 250 Channel Package including the 70 Sirius XM channels and all the Mood Media Music feeds, as well as any per-per-view movie or special charged to your room. Pretty impressive for what's considered a "2 Star Hotel" (I found it nice enough)

Surprised they carry all the NYC stations. I figured they still had WSEE Erie (like in the Caribbean) as a CBS affiliate.
Where is XEW, XHGC, Once TV? Other Mexican OTA channels? Lots of Mexican cable channels and Azteca 7.
