Since LIN TV also owns the CW affiliate, it got yanked, too. None of the cable / satellite providers here carry the CW in HD...not even Time Warner Cable. The only way to get the CW in Austin in HD is to put up an antenna. So, there may already be many in the Suddenlink area with an antenna up and this won't effect them.
What is really sad about this is that the Suddenlink area covers more of the rural areas of the city or those 30+ miles from the TV tower. So without a good outdoor antenna good luck getting a decent analog picture on either of these UHF channels. (36 and 54)
