Clinton Township, MI | They have it here in Michigan, Channel 306. Hmm looking at the Chicagoland lineup, 306 is missing... |

I feel bad for the Chicago people. No NHL Network, No CBC and No Versus. You should all come move over here to Metro Detroit.  |

@abbott.com | What I wouldn't give for CBC. The only one that comes close to showing a game like CBC is the group that does Gopher hockey in Minn. |

Verus is available in other WIDEOPENWEST outlets except chicago.
I'm listening to the president of Verus saying it's WOW's fault for not carrying Versus in chicago. VS. says that they offered a contract and WOW is not accepting.
This was on 670 the score interview on 5/19/2009
Boers & Bernstein 5pm Hour 5/19/09
Matt and Dan talk with Versus President Jamie Davis and also discuss the Chicago Cubs. |

Utica, MI | VS. probably wants too much for the channel than WOW is willing to pay for that 1 market. These sports channels need to pull their heads out of their asses and stop ripping the tv companies off, especially lame ones like VS. |

What's ironic is that COMCAST owns VERSUS. |

| I didn't say that was a justification for WOW's lack of HD channels. Quit assuming I am. I was say to him that just because DTV has 200HD channels, doesn't make them the best when a large majority barely offer anything in HD, and many suck in general. |

Chicagoland sports fans want there teams in HD and all teams have all games home and road in HD NOW.
other city's don't do that yet. |
