Worst Cable Systems in America

Anyone know how they're getting those signals up there?

OTA is impossible. KTEN's the closest station and they're 100 miles away.
Microwave doesn't seem financially feasible unless they're sharing with other cable companies.
I doubt they'd be allowed to grab those stations off DirecTV or Dish.

The other surprise is that the Shreveport stations don't raise hell over not being carried. I guess the population is so small, those stations don't really care.

Maybe they're using a bunch of slingboxes to deliver the signals. :)

Also being two states away from Shreveport. McCurtain County is probably only assigned to Shreveport as it's the closest primary market city with (historically) a full set of network affiliates (still 120 miles away). Sherman is slightly closer, but historically was missing one of the Big Three.
