LIN TV channels already hitting DirecTV households

Whoa, that was speedy. Just hours after the retransmission agreement between LIN TV and DirecTV was made public, hordes of subscribers are jumping for joy. Why all the leaping, you ask? Because many of the channels in the pact are already airing in gorgeous HD around the country. Flip on your tele and let us know if you're so lucky.

I read over there that Grand Rapids Wood TV8 is in HD now. Funny, I was just discussing this with the DirecTV installer this weekend. Awesome.
