In honor of Rainbow deciding to end regular TV service in favor of increasing internet speeds, here are some lineups from 2008 courtesy of the Wayback Machine. Note how much the lineups varied between towns fairly close to each other!

Note that several of the systems didn't have ESPN or TBS, let alone other major cable networks. Also, despite most of the systems falling in the Topeka DMA, FOX from Topeka (a low power station) wasn't carried on any of the systems. Most had WDAF from Kansas City while some had KPTM from Omaha and Goff had no FOX at all!
