[quote name=\'TraderRob\' date=\'Dec 2 2003, 04:06 PM\']GSN came to Channel 89 of the basic lineup of WOW! Internet & Cable in Chicagoland on September 10, 2002.
The majority of Chicagoland has Comcast and it, too, is Channel 161. Formerly AT&T, they've had GSN on digital cable since, I believe, 1999.[/quote]
June 1998, actually.
And on all former AT&T systems and on systems that use Headend in the Sky for digital, GSN is on 161 digital. The Comcast systems that have always been Comcast (in terms of digital tier) use another system, is as obvious from the commercials for digital where the interactive screens don't look anything like the HITS/TV Guide interactive screens.

We've got GSN on basic on Comcast in Cambridge, MD. At least we did when I still lived in Cambridge. I'm now in Secretary, MD... local cable provider Bay Country Communications doesn't offer digital service, so it's on basic channel 71.

Interesting! I always wondered why that was, exactly. (I had an IDEA, such as getting that block of compressed channels from the same provider, etc., but I didn't know for sure.)
Thanks for that!

Didn't we just have a thread like this? :)
Anyway, Comcast Harrisburg carries GSN on cable channel 73. They don't have a digital equivalent.

Well the Pittsburgh to non-digital for GSN is the different part. I didn't know what channel it was going to be so it was news to me.
