It would depend on how the ADI (Area of Dominant Influence) is defined, a
State Line does not necessarily seperate TV markets, in fact it almost never
does, look at NYC (which includes NJ and CT) and Philly, which encompasses
parts of NJ, DEL and PA.
It might be different with public stations, since the ADI is pretty much a
commercial thing.
I just lost Nebraska Public TV myself, I used to get channel 13 out of
Alliance on DISH, but since the digital switch I no longer get it. They have
some pretty decent stuff. I can get KRMA out of Denver, and the Wyoming
Public network, when it's up.
