Small markets getting missing networks by the big analog shutdown

KXII (CBS) From Sherman Has "My Network"12-2 And FOX on
its Subcarriers
and KTEN (NBC) From Sherman-Denison has the CW On its
Subcarrier.
Yet The Sherman Denison Area Lacks an ABC Station
 
Hi everyone:

This site has a list of a whole slew of networks which we could see on Digital subchannels once the analog channels are shut down.

Cheers :)

I just found out today that ABC is going to be on a couple of digital subchannels on a couple of West Virginia stations.

WBOY-DT Clarksburg 12.2
WTRF-DT Wheeling 7.3

However, there is still no ABC affiliate for the market. Most people get ABC programming from either WFAA in Dallas or KOCO in Oklahoma City via cable or satellite. One wonders why KTEN doesn't add ABC to a digital sub-channel.

Perhaps the ABC affiliates in OKC or Dallas are lobbying to stop this. I have read the CBS affiliate in Syracuse NY WTVH, has been pretty good about lobbying CBS to prevent an affiilate from signing on in nearby Utica

I doubt it. Neither station gets any ad revenue from that market. I actually got to watch the KXII triple-cast the other night. Each station looks pretty good. Decent programming in non-network hours and a nice professional presentation with plenty of local ads. I'm sure KTEN could do the same with ABC, but who knows.
