Re: [TWC] Time Warner Buffalo drops two channels with no replace
Verizon is replacing WNGS with RTV/RTN which is a sub-channel at WGRZ-Buffalo by the end of the month. Verizon didn't carry Familyland but does carry Family Net. TWC has made no commitment to RTV/RTN or a replacement for Familyland.
TWC in Buffalo doesn't even carry CNN-International which is owned by Time Warner. Other stations that TWC Buffalo should look into are WGN-America, Military History Channel,
Pentagon Channel, and the ION TV sub channels. |

Not every MSO carries every channel, nor will there ever be one that does. I'd like it TW Rochester carried WNLO in HD, not that it matters much since Reaper has been canceled, Military History Channel would be a nice add and I'm awaiting the additional HBOs and Cinemax's in HD, but if I wanted them badly enough I'd switching to other services that had them. |

That would depend on who posted it. Mr Rick is an anon poster who I don't know other than his infrequent complaints.
Do you believe everything anon ppl on the internet say?

@rogers.com | WNGS is supposed to be back on the air when they finish building their Digital Facility around the end of August if all goes well. They will then be programming it with Daystar , but who knows, they could continue to offer "THIS" as a sub-channel. |

This is completely different to what you stated. A verbal commitment to carry is not "Verizon is replacing WNGS with RTV/RTN which is a sub-channel at WGRZ-Buffalo by the end of the month."
I assumed you had some other updated information, Oh well.

| I was told by the Verizon engineer for Amherst area that it would be on by the end of July. Why should I lie or even better, why should I have to authenticate every thing I post. Hob, you never authenticate anything you post. You ask others to provide links and you never do.
When is TWC going to carry RTV/RTN? Has anyone made a commitment? According to the Time Warner customer service representative I talked to on the phone, Familyland is still available on channel 169. I guess showing a screen that tells the customer it has ended broadcasting counts as a channel. |

You don't. You have however chosen to be a anonymous poster so unfortunately anything you say has little credence. You have no posting history and to be honest you could be anyone...or in fact several different people as anyone can post using rick4769. I dont believe every Tom, Dick and Rick claiming to have inside information.
"You ask others to provide links and you never do."
What links would you like me to provide?
It would be interesting to see how accurate your Verizon's friends information is. The FIOS forum is often complaining about dates given for program adds that tend to be several months off.
