Most interesting hotel/hospital lineups

Final stop on the way home from my solar eclipse roadtrip. Best Western in Anthony, TX. Provider: Spectrum Business. Picture of lineup card attached.

Notes:
14, listed as Azteca América, is blank due to network’s 2022 shutdown.
15, listed as Televisa, is actually Estrella TV.
32, listed as NBC Sports Network, just shows a static slide reading, “Programming on this network is no longer available. La programación en esta estación ya no está disponible.”
35, listed as ABC Family (now known as Freeform), is blank due to channel no longer being carried by Spectrum.
46, listed as Estrella TV, is actually Televisa.
51, listed as KRWG (a PBS member), is actually Comet.
52, listed as KVIA (ABC) Storm Track, is actually Ion.

Hotel channel lineups are very often inaccurate. I have seen channel offerings on newer hotel TVs that have digital subchannel capability, and it's a real hodgepodge. A guest who is not savvy about how to operate newer DTVs can be left in a world of hurt.

One blank channel I missed was 27, listed as ESPN Classic. That channel hasn’t existed since December 31, 2021.

I'm surprised the hotel carried WCVB instead of WMUR, despite being in NH. A coaxial cable was plugged into the back of the TV so all channels were in grainy analog format (though they were 16:9 and filled the TV screen).
 
While visiting my grandma at the Manistee County Medical Care Facility, I discovered that they have a QAM lineup consisting of locals for those residents who don't want to pay for Spectrum.

7.1 - WPBN (NBC)
7.2 - WGTU (ABC) [via WPBN-DT2]
7.3 - WPBN-DT3 (Comet)
9.1 - WWTV (CBS)
9.2 - WFQX (FOX) [via WWTV-DT2]
9.3 - WWTV-DT3 (MeTV)
9.4 - WWTV-DT4 (Laff)
9.5 - WWTV-DT5 (QVC)
9.6 - WWTV-DT6 (HSN)

9.7 - WWTV-DT7 (Grit)
21.1 - WCMW (PBS)
21.2 - WCMW-DT2 (PBS Kids)
21.3 - WCMW-DT3 (Create)
21.4 - WCMW-DT4 (Michigan Learning Channel)
32.1 - WFQX (FOX)
32.2 - WFQX-DT2 (CW+)
32.3 - WFQX-DT3 (ION)
32.4 - WFQX-DT4 (Scripps News)
32.5 - WFQX-DT5 (ION Mystery)
32.6 - WFQX-DT6 (ION Plus)
32.7 - WFQX-DT7 (Bounce)


Subchannels in bold are NOT carried on Spectrum in Manistee and those in italics are carried via the national feed.
