Some of you may remember a while back I was trying to get my local cable
company to carry NASA's shuttle feed on one of their free channels. They
finally got sick of hearing me while the cable was still under construction,
and told me to wait till the service started. Well, it has started, and
I am starting to bug them again.
I am looking for the names of other cable companies that provide shuttle
coverage. I know from my earlier request that the cable in Long Beach,CA
does. Any others out there? Also, any information about HOW they schedule
it would be helpful. For example, do they dedicate a channel to it? What
happens between missions? If they timeshare a channel with some other
program source, how do they determine when to transmit which source? Do
they publicize the service, or is it just there (i.e. uncommitted)?
Thanks for whatever info you can send!
