Lurker, I’m with Directv and getting it on day one. My former cable company (and current internet) is Bright house market/dma 19. (Orlando-Daytona-Melbourne) Which has about 770K viewers.

Oh, DTV is also getting FBN in HD soon. No word on anybody else doing HD.

Anyone have a link which lists the number of cable & dbs subscribers per market or state? I’ve lost my bookmark and the 770K figure appears to be outdated.

FBN is going to be the Gold Standard for financial news. Does anyone really think CNBC will be able to compete — especially when half their anchors flee to FBN?
