      Channel 537 is HD even though it not in the 900's. I guess the 900's are full.

      Awesome, that's good to head and I think you're probably right about the 900's. Finding out we have MLB network may be the high light of my day, I'm usually working late during the week but being as that I'm in training the next few weeks I've been looking for something to watch on tv at night. Summer time citcoms leave a lot to be desired.

      Definitely. I would say WDRB needs TW more then TW needs WDRB.

      I wouldn't be too sure about that. Since they are an over-the-air broadcaster, I'm thinking local cable subscriptions don't have anything to do with their ad rates. The bigger factor is probably the available households within their broadcast range.

      Maybe not with the ad rates but as an advertiser are you going to pay the same rate to advertise with a station who isn't carried by the local cable company as you would one that is? The fact is the homes picking up the signal over-the-air are far and few in between.

      My guess is a lot of their advertisers will ask for and receive a reduced rate or rebate, depending how long the standoff with Time-Warner lasts.
