Re: With 120+ stations, could ME-TV benefit from east and west coast feeds?
As I stated,
"In the event the local rights for a program aren't available, they provide an alternate satellite feed with programs they do hold national rights to which can be substituted in place of whatever airs in that time slot.
And it's not called "Me Too," LyngSat has been consistently wrong about that for months now."

You should not have quoted this part at all. If you really read my post thoroughly, it stated that MeToo is only available to Chicago viewers (OTA & cable). So Weigel is not gonna offer anything from MeToo to the affiliates, due to that channel having programs that Weigel only has the Chicago rights to (I know because I live in the Chicago DMA, & I get MeToo OTA). Weigel does not have the national rights to the Sony library (they however only have the Chicago rights to the Sony library), & can't offer any of those shows right now (there's a big overlap of Sony shows with Antenna TV & MeToo). Now as far as being available on FTA (free to air) satellite (not DirecTV or Dish Network though), it wouldn't surprise me if MeToo (WMEU-LD) is unencrypted, as I heard that MeTV is unencrypted, & have heard of people getting it on FTA satellite via WWME-LD.
