WWL TV in other markets

People have been very interested in seeing WWL TV in other markets outside of New Orleans..

I want to try to get a list started and go from there..Please help me for others who are still interested and to pass it on to those who are refugees in other towns in our land.

So far I know:

Baton Rouge had it on their PBS Kids feed on Baton Rouge's Cox cable ch.11? and should be on one of the DTV signals for WLPB. It was broadcast over the state Sunday morning for sure on all the LPB stations for a few hours but is LPB offering it on DTV signals in other markets in Louisiana?

In Houston, It's on Time Warner channel 76 and is on Belo's channel 11.2 (KHOU's digital signal)

In Beaumont and the golden Triangle, It's on Time Warner ch. 21

In Dallas/Forth worth it's on Belo's WFAA 8.2 (Digital)

In Belo market's, It's reportedly being broadcast over the digital transmitter.. those markets are (and will probably be on the second channel like (channel number).2)

Which include markets like San Antonio,Austin, and St. Louis

What I'm looking for it also in non Belo markets.. If you know of a TV station airing it on a digital channel or cable in a southcentral-southeast market , please let us all know

I do have some ideas from a Belo news release:
http://www.belo.com/pressRelease.x2?release=20050903-772.html

To quote:
Additionally, WWL's signal is being carried statewide in Louisiana and Mississippi through a network of digital channels, on all public television stations in Louisiana, and on several cable channels in local communities in Louisiana. Several Louisiana radio stations are also broadcasting the audio portion of WWL-TV's signal. Other Belo stations, including WFAA-TV in Dallas/Fort Worth, KHOU-TV in Houston and KVUE-TV in Austin, are also carrying WWL's live coverage. Echostar (Ed- Dish network), a satellite television provider, is making WWL's signal available to evacuation centers in Texas.


Belo is also offering WWL's signal to all broadcasters in non-Belo markets for broadcast on their digital multicast channels. Stations in Chicago; Boston and Springfield/Holyoke, Massachusetts; Syracuse and Albany, New York; Hartford/New Haven, Connecticut; Birmingham, Alabama; and Panama City, Florida are among those providing WWL's hurricane response coverage through this service.


Thanks all in advance

WPEC in West Palm Beach,FL is showing WWL on digital 12.2
 
Belo's KENS, here in San Antonio is carrying it on 5.2 and promoting its presence there heavily.

Previously, 5.2 carried weather radar.

Kurt Davis, News Director at KENS, is a New Orleans native. FWIW, article in the local paper today (linked below, reg required) said that he had been involved with helping WWL get its operation set up in Baton Rouge. He said it felt strange to be helping out WWL, since he had worked at WDSU when he was in the market.

I think I saw a promo on WRAL-TV 5 in Raleigh that WWL is on one of it's Digital channels, at least part-time.
