Geez, I thought you NY guys had all of the channels. Wish we had Universal Sports Network. Not that I'd watch Olympics stuff all of the time, but it would be something different than the usual.

Never happening. Those cable channels get revenue not only from advertising, but from fees charged to the cable companies per subscriber. The ad revenue is not enough to sustain the channel, hence free OTA reception of ESPN or any of the others just isn't going to happen. If those channels were available free over the air, people would drop cable and the subscriber fees would disappear. Sports channels especially are one of the biggest cable revenue producers.
That would be awesome. If that doesn't happen down the road then maybe there will be other new ota networks with similar themes.
ION is going to develop more and more over time and already gives me a feeling of being like the TNT of broadcast television. This past weekend they did a "Clint Eastwood Weekend" which was a marathon of "Dirty Harry" movies.
What sub-channel do you wish you had, but don't?
