Atlantic Broadband Moorefield WV (Hardy County - Washington DMA)
http://www.zap2it.com/rmp/tvgrid/tvgridprint?lineupid=USA-WV47551-X&tz=US/Eastern&time=1409097600
Just 36 analog channels, limited digital, no HD or VOD. Carries ABC Harrisonburg, ION Martinsburg, FOX and CBS Washington, NBC and FOX Johnstown and NBC Hagerstown.

Happily, Moorefield has locally-owned HardyNet, with a much better lineup and all the major DC stations:

[mvcg66b3r]

If this system isn't cursed, hmmm...
Pansy-Landes TV Corp. Dorcas WV (Grant County - Washington DMA)
Just 18 channels! CBS and FOX from DC, ABC Harrisonburg and NBC Johnstown. No PBS station at all!
http://www.zap2it.com/rmp/tvgrid/tv...WV47870-DEFAULT&tz=US/Eastern&time=1409097600

 

[ftballfan]

Comcast Augusta, WV (Hampshire County - Washington DMA). Only 16 channels!: http://www.zap2it.com/rmp/tvgrid/tvgridprint?lineupid=USA-WV69663-DEFAULT&tz=US/Eastern&time=0

 

[crainbebo]

A Comcast with only 16 channels? That isn't right!
And any cable system that does NOT carry CNN, is a cursed cable system. CNN (International) is seen worldwide!

[mvcg66b3r]

Vital Communications Group - Sandyville WV (Jackson County - Charleston-Huntington DMA)
23 channels - at least this one does carry CNN.
http://www.zap2it.com/rmp/tvgrid/tv...WV54775-DEFAULT&tz=US/Eastern&time=1409097600

Sandyville also has CAS Cable, where HD and SD channel numbers are the same.

[mvcg66b3r]

Time Warner Jasper/Piketon OH (Pike County - Columbus DMA)
31 analog channels, some digital, no HD. Has NBC, FOX, CW and CBS from Columbus and NBC, ABC and CBS from Charleston-Huntington.
http://www.timewarnercable.com/corporate/support/clu/clu.ashx?downloadPdf=true&cluid=870

But the Time Warner system just up the road in Waverly is all-digital and has all the Columbus stations in HD:
http://www.timewarnercable.com/corporate/support/clu/clu.ashx?downloadPdf=true&cluid=895

 

[mvcg66b3r]

Time Warner Vanceburg KY (Lewis County - Charleston-Huntington DMA)
http://www.timewarnercable.com/corporate/support/clu/clu.ashx?downloadPdf=true&cluid=891

 

[mvcg66b3r]

Suddenlink De Witt AR (Arkansas County - De Witt DMA)
https://docs.google.com/gview?url=h...ineup/fileDownLoad?fd_fileId=3004&chrome=true

And in the same county, Suddenlink Stuttgart AR, somewhat better with digital and HD channels, though no HD premiums.

[mvcg66b3r]

Suddenlink Hazen AR (Prairie County - Little Rock DMA)
http://docs.google.com/gview?embedd...enlink.com/lineup/fileDownLoad?fd_fileId=3030

 

[mvcg66b3r]

Alliance Communications Des Arc AR (Prairie County - Little Rock DMA)

Vyve Broadband Langston OK (Logan County - Oklahoma City DMA)
http://www.zap2it.com/rmp/tvgrid/tvgridprint?lineupid=USA-OK55678-X&tz=US/Central&time=1409097600

 

[mvcg66b3r]

Broken Bow Cable TV Broken Bow OK (McCurtain County - Shreveport DMA)
No Shreveport stations carried! NBC, CW, CBS and FOX from Oklahoma City, NBC Ada and ABC Dallas.
http://www.zap2it.com/rmp/tvgrid/tv...OK35429-DEFAULT&tz=US/Central&time=1409097600

And the Suddenlink system in Idabel isn't much better, with only in-market ABC, NBC and CBS:

[ftballfan]

Broken Bow Cable TV Broken Bow OK (McCurtain County - Shreveport DMA)
No Shreveport stations carried! NBC, CW, CBS and FOX from Oklahoma City, NBC Ada and ABC Dallas.
http://www.zap2it.com/rmp/tvgrid/tv...OK35429-DEFAULT&tz=US/Central&time=1409097600

Ironic that ABC Dallas is on 3, NBC OKC is on 6, and CBS OKC is on 12 on that system, as those are the (virtual) channels for the Shreveport Big Three!

 

[mvcg66b3r]

Comcast Lincolnton GA (Lincoln County - Augusta DMA)
Decent analog lineup, no digital or HD.
http://www.zap2it.com/rmp/tvgrid/tvgridprint?lineupid=USA-GA53321-DEFAULT&tz=US/Eastern&time=0

 

[mvcg66b3r]

Savannah County Cablevision McCormick SC (McCormick County - Augusta DMA)
But this system thinks it's in the Greenville-Spartanburg DMA, as it has all of that market's stations except MNT and WGGS, while only carrying in-market ABC, NBC and WRDW's third subchannel!
http://www.zap2it.com/rmp/tvgrid/tvgridprint?lineupid=USA-SC62382-DEFAULT&tz=US/Eastern&time=0
