Channels you wish your cable/satellite provider had

[kswx29]

Well, we are finally switching from U-Verse back to Cox.  We have had nothing but problems with their service.  I was comparing channels we would loose and gain, and found we will gain a few channels I missed.  With U-Verse, we don't get...

Topeka's local CW and MyTV networks, as with local school and college channels (which believe it or not I used to watch.)  Of course we will be gaining weatherscan  and local forecasts again!!  As well as I think Hallmark and a few others.  However, there are still a few channels I wish we would get, before like 2007 we used to get the Fox affiliate from Kansas City, but it was taken off the cable system for some reason.  Also, I wish we would get a channel from Lawrence, KS (A short drive east of Topeka) called 38 the Spot! Which airs a variety of programing.

Anywho I thought it would be interesting to see what channels other people wish their cable/satellite provider would get.

I have COX in San Diego. I really wish they added Current TV to their lineup. That's pretty much it.

WGN, Boomerang, CN West, and Sonic Tap music (seems to be a lot better than music choice).

[Zach]

DirecTV: G4, TWN (yes ), and regionalized WxScan units

BHN: NFL network, TWC HD, WxScan

SPEED and Weatherscan on Comcast's basic package here in Hanover.

[WeatherSTARIII]

From my Comcast system:
Boomerang, Weatherscan (on the basic package too), TWC HD, Cartoon Network HD (mainly for Pokemon and Adult Swim), Cartoon Network West, MSNBC HD, CNBC HD, Comedy Central HD, WABC, WCBS, WNBC, WNYW, WWOR, WPIX, and WNET and just for fun: MSG, MSG+, MSG+2, SNY, and YES.
 
BTW: The reason why I wish I had the New York area stations instead of all my locals is because I HATE ALL of my local affiliates (which happens to be WHOI - ABC & CW+, WEEK - NBC, WMBD - CBS, WYZZ - Fox, WTVP - PBS, and WAOE - My Network TV). My local media market by the way is messed up and dieing and all of the newscasts from my area sucks. Also, the reason why I wish I could see the New York area RSNs is because I just want to watch for the fun of it (even though I'm mostly a St. Louis fan, but I like New York too). I only get FS Midwest (St. Louis teams), CSN Chicago (Chicago teams) and the Big Ten Network (Illinois feed only). I expecialy hate the Chicago teams and I don't care about the Big Ten. Another thing that sucks about watching sports on TV is because the all of the leauges wouldn't let you watch out-of-market teams and their broadcasts (even if they are playing against your own local team).
 
Perrered cable companys:
Cablevision, Insight (which we used to have in Illinois), Wow! Cable, Qwest, Sudden Link, RCN, or U.S. Cable.
 
Channels I wish my system would permently drop:
All of my locals of that said network affiliate, WGN America (Chicago biases, synd-ex blackouts, and sucky reruns), Nickelodeon (Spongebob and Dora ruined the network and I outgrew it anyways), Fox News Channel (I NEVER trusted Fox or liked them), E! (west coast bias and chick shows), CSN Chicago (again, I HATE the Chicago teams even though I'm in their stupid territory  ), Disney Channel (too much Hanna Montanna, see also Nickelodeon), Disney XD (Disney Ch. clone), and the TV Guide Network (I miss Prevue Guide).
 
Those are the channels I wish my system would add as well as the ones I wish would get permity removed and the providers I wish were in my area.

Weatherscan and CCTV

[CartoonJazzLover]

Nicktoons (so I can watch the shows that are no longer airing on Nickelodeon) and Music Choice

[TWCmatthew]

TWCHD and Weatherscan.

[toxictwister00]

Off the top of my head...

Boomerang and Weatherscan (Comcast moved them up on a higher digital cable package) Odd enough we still have our NBC WeatherPlus channel, I would rather have Weatherscan over that.

[Mike M]

Oh yeah, and I'd like to see News 12 T&W here even though I'm just a tad far from their north jersey division... their coverage is pretty solid. And, WFMZ's AccuWeather channel (indie jazz!!).

I wish we had the 24/7 WFMZ accuweather channel too. Bring News 12 T&W , WYBE and bring some NYC channels here like WPIX, WABC and the like, I can't stand the majority of the Philly stations around here.

I totaly agree with you. Trust me, the stations from Peoria are far more worse than the Phily ones. I wish we could get the NYC locals too. We also get AccuWeather around here too. Its carred on WEEK's digital over-the-air sub channel and also through Comcast's digital cable line-up. I personly think AccuWeather is okay, but Weatherscan is even better.

[TWCmatthew]

Oh, and I forgot to mention:

The Accuweather channel
NBC WeatherPlus

NBC Weather Plus isn't even around anymore. Thats what my local NBC affiliate used to have too.
