ANSWER = RCN is working with us to get bandwidth. They keep their bandwidth full all the time and in order to add someone, they have to drop someone. They have to check and make sure that the other channels are not under a contract with them first.
In Chicago (just one market example there are others)....
2005-03-01 Chicago IL Deleted Fit TV from line-up.
No channels were added after that deletion...
so how come Q didnt claim that bandwidth then based on his answer?
