2007 discussion

[edit]

The section on Canada is helpful, but the page doesn't explain the situation with regard to Superstations in the rest of the world. Are there superstations in Belgium?

The article previously stated that DISH Network sells the superstations in "many small markets' I revised it to more accurately reflect whatt causes DISH to not offer one or more of these stations in some markets. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.20.221.71 (talk) 14:26, 10 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

2008 discussion

[edit]

This paragraph needs revision.

In addition to WGN-TV, the five remaining true superstations, WSBK-TV in Boston, Massachusetts and WWOR-TV in Secaucus, New Jersey (part of the New York City area), and CW Television Network affiliates WPIX-TV in New York, KWGN-TV in Denver, Colorado, and KTLA-TV in Los Angeles, California, are carried on some rural cable systems, and on the DISH Network direct broadcast satellite system has also managed to keep customers happy by keeping the superstations. But syndicated exclusivity blackout requests have led DISH Network to stop selling one or more stations in some markets. As of 2006, Superstation WGN boasted over 68 million households on cable and satellite.[citation needed]

Ia am unsure what it is trying to say about DISH Network and the reference to WGN does not seem to belong. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.20.221.71 (talk) 16:36, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Source the Turner "Idea"?

[edit]

Someone please provide a source for the statement that satellite superstations were Ted Turner's personal innovation.
