[opendtv] Re: Slim pickins in Gainesville

None of these are affiliated with any full power stations. Equity Broadcasting seems to be focused primarily on serving the Hispanic market, which has been a hotbed of activity for LPTV stations. I do not know why these stations are listed as TX, as they will not be used as translators, but rather to pull down content from the satellite that Equity uses to distribute programming from their operations center in Little Rock.

Tom, that FCC site mentions these rather powerful translators. I'd be very curious what they're there for. If there's any justice, they should be to relay the missing common OTA stations in Gainesville, like NBC, CW, MNT, and whatever. This is how the powerful ones are listed. Note also the decent antenna heights. Maybe someone knows what they're for:

There are also applications for some low-power DTT stations, but that's different. I didn't include those. I'm surprised that a market like Gainesville doesn't have some larger OTA TV market they can easily feed from. Antennaweb is singularly unhelpful for Gainesville.
