3. Making Room for New Channels
Currently SMU does not have room to add more channels in Basic and Expanded Basic cable. (Channels 2-78) To make room for new channels in the future, we would have to get rid of channels that we already have. We would like your help in determining the best way to do this.
3a. Of the current channels 2-78, which 3 do you watch THE LEAST? (list channel #'s here)
(in other words, which channels could you live without?)
 
3b. Another way to make room for new channels in the future is to remove the analog premium channels (14-HBO, 15-Cinemax, 16-Showtime, 17-TMC, 20-Encore, and 21-Starz). You could still recieve these premium services via digital cable for a similar price. What is your opinion on removing the analog premium channels?
YES, Remove the analog premiums (CH. 14-21) NO, don't remove them NO OPINION
     
4TV Stations
SMU currently carries 10 TV stations.  At the end of this year, permission to carry all of these stations will expire.  SMU is in the process of negotiating with these TV stations for permission to continue carrying them.  Because some TV stations may want to charge us to carry them, we want to know what you think before we continue moving forward.

Below is a list of TV stations that SMU carries.  For each station, please indicate HOW IMPORTANT IT IS that SMU continue to carry this station.
 

4  KTIV-Sioux City (NBC)

5  KPTH-Sioux City (Fox)

6  KMEG-Sioux City (CBS)

7  KTIN-Fort Dodge (Iowa Public TV)

8  KXWB-Sioux City (WB)

9  KCAU-Sioux City (ABC)

10  KSFY-Sioux Falls (ABC)

11  KELO-Sioux Falls (CBS)

12  KEYC-Mankato (CBS)

13  WOI-Ames (ABC)

  How important is it that SMU keep the exact same TV stations it has now?

  How important is it that SMU add a second NBC and a second FOX station?
