WRAL Sports Fan

"So...did anyone else notice that this year only 2 games are OTA, and 2 require a Time Warner subscription? All 4 were on 5.1-5.4 last year."

From a technical perspective, to broadcast 4 "subchannels" in the limited bandwidth available, all 4 channels are in standard definition and at a rather low bit rate (reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_subchannel)

So WRAL would need to abandon the HiDef main channel to
accomplish this feat.

I would venture to guess that they decided they did not
want to abandon the HiDef main channel, hence they could
only show one additional show over-the-air.

Thanks again for covering all the games. Been watching all day, more to come tonight and tommorrow!

Thanks for the schedule, WRAL!

Game of the day is USC v. Kansas St. on Ch.259 during the Duke game.

Dear WRAL:

Please tell me that you have Suddenlink cable's channels and please tell me Suddenlink will have a dedicated HD channel like Time Warner.
