Game Shows in HD: First opinions

(In 1998, I stayed at a motel in Wabash, Indiana, that had the local cable system -- and if I recall correctly, they still carried both Indianapolis and Fort Wayne stations.)

(I just checked, and I guess I did recall correctly -- plus WNDU from South Bend is still there as well.  However, they don't carry all the Indy stations; their only Fox affiliate is WFFT from Fort Wayne.)

(They also had Game Show Network on the basic lineup -- it was Marcus Cable, which was the first MSO to sign a carriage deal, if I recall that correctly, too.)

Well, they've improved since I lived there. Granted, in Wabash, over-the-air reception stinks (you barely get Fort Wayne or South Bend stations, which are all UHF.) So they went with FW and Indy stations and WNDU because in those pre-NBC contract days, WNDU carried all the Notre Dame football home games live (and why not, the college owned the station in those days).
This isn't a plug, but you can ask me about my book.
