It still seems strange that a local no-news, minimal-local-content

cable system is analog only or something, thus limiting the
advantage of HD NBC cable. Do students and campus residents use
STB's?
Somehow I'll bet that local campus cable is the wild card in the
equation killing the need for OTA.
Apparently not. Looks like there is no connection with Cox Cable, but
they must have a few satellite downlinks. It is an older analog
system and student can get about 35 channels for $15/mo.
The only broadcast stations they carry are the locals that they can
receive via an antenna. They do not have NBC, CW or My TV. But they
do have an interesting lineup of international channels including Al
Jazeera. They have a bunch of channels that we cannot get from Cox.
Here's a link to the service including the channel line-up.
