[AT] OFF Topic: 4 month Verizon WAR

Wed Sep 2 10:19:42 PDT 2015

Here I can get a number of local stations and their alternate feeds. I 
can get the Greensboro market plus part of the Charlotte market. I 
suspect Charlie is very limited in that. Some days I can get a feed from 
Asheville but not often.
