ABC has a few local channels already:
ABC NY US - ABC.us
ABC 10 Miami US - ABC10WPLG.us
ABC 5 Puerto Rico US - ABC5WORA.us
ABC 7 L.A. US - ABC7KABCTV.us
ABC 7 Detroit US - ABC7WXYZ.us
ABC Boston US - ABCBoston.us
Yes. And actually, since Detroit, NYC, Miami, and Boston are all in the Eastern time zone, all four of those are somewhat redundant. Even they will have some deviations because local channels get to program parts of the day independently. But all of the network-wide program will come on at the exact same time for all four of those channels (and any other channel on the east coast)
LA, in the Pacific time zone, you will notice has totally different listings for times and programming.
Im not sure where you are located, but it may be somewhat similar to the difference between BBC West Midlands vs BBC Yorkshire etc. ... IF BBC Yorkshire had local programming on for 60% of the day and was timeshifted by two hours because it ws in a different time zone than BBC West midlands. Except, in the US, we have HUNDREDS of local affiliates that all air variations in schedule for 60% of the day, joining the network for only 40%. WAY too much to ask of you.
So, essentially, with these ABC channel EPG listings, you have covered everyone on the west coast (with the LA station) and you have covered everyone on the east coast multiple times (because they can use any of the other --- Detroit, NYC, Miami, Boston -- to show the network listings)
That still leaves out anyone in the two other time zones (central and mountain). Adding one ABC affiliate from each of those time zone ( for Central it could be Nashville, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, etc --- for Mountain it could be Denver, Salt Lake City, Phoenix, etc) that would cover 98% of viewers in the usa (poor folks in Hawaii and Alaska are on their own. ha ha)
Its a lot of work. I know. Unfortunately, we Americans do everything we can to make everything complicated.
You are a champ for all of the dedication you give to this service, Thank you so much!
