Will retro TV ever end up on Comcast?

[yragha]

Thinking about jumping, was wondering if anyone thinks this is a possibility for those here in town that can't get it.

Thanks

Anyone have an opinion on this?

 

[azumanga]

For starters, in which city, exactly?

 

[arnoldevns]

No. Not going to happen.

TWC in the Valley carries KRGV's RTV subchannel.

That may be, but in the DFW area Retro is on an LPTV station. TWC has no reason to give them a spot unless they want to pay through the nose to be on the local systems.

Since yragha was asking about Comcast, it would seem (s)he isn't concerned with TWC, either in DFW or the RGV. I'm guessing Houston but let's wait & see.

 

[yragha]

Correct, Houston. RTV is one of the most difficult stations to pull in, I didn't know how hard it would be for them to get onto Comcast system. Just curious.

Thanks

A $100 bill says that's a local agreement that the Manships negotiated.

KUVM-CD, a Class A LP station broadcasting from Missouri City. If there's enough subscriber demand, I'm sure Comcast and KUVM-CD could make a deal, but I have no idea whether that's remotely likely.
