Since I'm sure that Las Vegas, NV is not in the top 18 media markets either, I
doubt that I will see an Amiga TV add on a local station here.  However,
the cable system here carries WWOR (NY/NJ/CT) and WGN (Chicago).
I have seen one add on WGN.  Probably they are on WWOR also, I just haven't
seen them yet.

I think it was a good idea to buy "Superstation" add time since they are
pseudo-national TV stations.  I wonder if they appear on any other Cable
Networks (TBS, TNT, NICK, MTV, VH-1, USA, DISC)?
