WLUK's spokesman says LIN TV expects retransmission agreements with all of its stations by "mid-year." They didn't say WHICH year, though. We've been hearing that kind of rhetoric every few months for the last few years now. Those of us around the area who have been watching this situation have pretty much given up hope a deal will be made. Green Bay got HD locals on DirecTV in November 2006, and WLUK was the only holdout. Since that time, we've heard "any day now" or very soon" every few months, but yet no deal has been struck. WLUK's GM has even told viewers who called him on the situation that they really don't care about making a deal with cable since they're going after satellite. They've supposedly struck a deal with AT&T for U-Verse, but the last we heard, it won't be in the Green Bay area until November 2008 at the earliest.
Meanwhile, WLUK pimps antennas like they're making commission on every unit sold. It's really a shame.

LIN TV will not let Time Warner Cable in Dayton, OH have WDTN (NBC) HD Feed as well... Does LIN have beef with cable and satellite?!
