Hmm, could KOLN/KGIN be looking to bring Fox to Lincoln? A rogue web page suggests it is possible. KOLN brushed aside the web page as "a leftover piece of an experimental project". Mmm hmm. An "experimental web project" would be a new website design, or testing live webcasting, or starting a blog. I suppose it's possible a television station might invent a channel out of thin air just for kicks. Old school media companies are continuously looking to throw away cash on projects that were always destined for the trash.
Right.
(Aside: Why do the JournalStar's TV-related articles show up in the video games portion of their website? Weird.)

See what your friends and neighbors have to say about this.
After reading this last night, I checked AVS Forum to see what they had to say about it. This rumor has been going around over there for at least a week.
AVS Forum is the bomb! However, if they do bring Fox here, I hope they can actually deliver it in HD, and with a signal that’s much better than “MyTV” on digital 110. What a cold slap of reality that channel is, when you surfing the HD sections of TWC. Who’s the brainiac that thought it should be placed on 110, right in the midst of the HD tier? I’ve never seen a show on there that didn’t look like I was watching it on an old console set in 1982, with sound to match.
I don’t think the engineers at 10/11 know what they are doing.
It would only be beneficial if they added it, in HD, and that HD could be seen on TWC and on Dish.
Apparently, you can can do two ATSC high-def channels and still have space for one more standard-def one. As it currently stands, the MyTV feed isn’t any better or worse than the other .2 feeds provide by other Lincoln and Omaha stations.
Also, if your TV has a QAM tuner built in, you can pick up a number of digital local stations; the picture quality is noticeably better than the version pushed out by the digital cable tier.
Good point. All the .2 feeds suck. Why use up TWC bandwidth for them and still not provide us with some good basic HD offerings that are out there?
If you really want to depress yourself, check out Time Warner Cable’s HD offerings in Kansas City.
I hate to even look. TWC has up to 70 or so HD offerings in various parts of Texas, Ohio, and the Carolinas. It’s maddening. The answer is our switch in Lincoln to Switched Digital Video (SDV) which is coming along nicely for their goal of having it done in 2007.
Why should the same division that got nailed with the rollout of Navigator be subject to any goodness from TWC?
