However, typical of your posts, that doesn't invalidate the point that Wilmington does not have a full complement of the OTA TV networks. I looked it up. http://newslink.org/NCtele.html Wilmington lacks a local PBS, CW, MNT, nor do they have any additional independent goodies. So, I'll grant you they don't need to look elsewhere for NBC, but they do need to for the three missing ones, at least. > It is obvious that there is no market-into-market competition > (interference) if a market is not served with the programming. > This is not the case for the discussion at hand. Too bad. It is the case. They have four local stations, and so does Gainesville. Whether they carry SD versions of missing networks in multicast streams, I don't know.
