Thanks to David for pointing out the Ogden gov't access channel 17 website (http://www.ogden.cc/). Would be nice if someone from Comcast actually publicized it, but i digress....
According to the website, the channel now runs programming 24/7. I think that explains why the bulletin board was never fixed. It kept crashing on the senior citizens outreach whateveritwas page. Did that pop up elsewhere that I haven't found yet? (Hey Comcast! There's a real use for that second access channel on 60!)

The web page address is listed in the credits of the programs produced by the Imagination Company, which produces most of the programs on channel 17. I guess that's Comcast's idea of publicity. ;D Seriously, though, they could at least put the web page address on a "slide" once in a while. The Standard doesn't provide listings for channel 17, so the only way to know what's on is to look at the web site. |

Here's a question: Why in the world don't these channels broadcast online or somewhere else so that the many of us who don't have Comcast (Satellite for me) can see the local programming that we want to see. Ogden is an interesting location because the Standard-Examiner pretty much is the only source of news or pretty much anything. There is no radio station devoted to Ogden anymore, no TV station devoted to Ogden anymore, there is just a void of info. sources up this way. So why can't they stream online or something like that?

I don't think anyone has discussed the MX'd applications for over-the-air channel 18.
There are at least five applications for that one, one will be a simulcaster of one of the parties involved in the Salt Lake channel 26 MX group if they get both channels. Both are NCE-TV allotments. Based on who's involved in both, I don't think either channel is going to be local, just nationally fed programming.
18 was once live on the air, but also went down when the original 9 went dark in the 70s as well. One of these two may have had the calls KWCR-TV as well.

I don't know the exact setup for Ch 17, but generally access channels are set up and run by the cable companies as a condition of their franchise agreements. Those who are smart will use local programming like that as a reason to have cable vs. a mini satellite dish. If there's exclusive content that you want to see, you fork over the bucks. Comcast isn't pushing the access channels much, but they ARE pushing loca content on their On Demand service. This is something that the satellite people can't do. It's likely that Comcast could webcast, but that costs money. Why shell out more money for something that's already costing you and that you're giving away to non-subscribers for free? |
