It comes on in 22 states on ABC/Fox/MyTV affiliates (aka channels everyone has). If you're gonna try to talk about something, atleast know something about it so you don't look like an idiot. But did you read the details of the 22 states or just see "22 states" and think half the country gets ROH? One of the states is Tennessee, a local Nashville station picks it up. However, Memphis, Knoxville, Chattanooga and Tri City areas dont get it. That's a lot of damn people in the state that dont get ROH. How bout Pennsylvania? Pittsburgh gets it but what about Philly, Allentown and Erie? Asheville, NC gets it but Charlotte, NC doesnt? It sound to me more like 22 cities (and their suburbs) get ROH, not 22 states....which seeing as how there's like 30,000 cities in the United States, I stand by my point. If ROH had Hulk Hogan, they might actually get on a television station. Not to mention when they were on hdnet they were shown around the globe. *If* you had HDnet. If Im not mistaken, HDnet at the time was exclusive to Dish network and/or a lot of major cable companies had yet to pick it up. To this day, I still dont have HDnet You do realize that means that the 3 channels we get ROH on are Nashville affiliates, that doesn't mean that only Nashville and near areas get it right? Fox, CW, and MyTV aren't local Nashville channels that only Nashville gets. All of Middle Tennessee and parts of Kentucky get it just from Nashville's affiliates, which is about 2 and a half million people just in that area. Same for the rest of the states. It might not be statewide in every state, especially a state as large as Tennessee that would have more than one affiliate in the state, but a majority of the state will get it, that's a whole lot more than 22 cities and a whole lot more than "a channel noone gets". And being on TV means they're already on a TV station. Also, HDNet's been rebranded, so that might be why you still don't have it if you've been looking for it or something. |

*If* you had HDnet. If Im not mistaken, HDnet at the time was exclusive to Dish network and/or a lot of major cable companies had yet to pick it up. To this day, I still dont have HDnet And as is the trend with your posts in this thread, you're very much mistaken. HDNet was on DISH, DirecTV, Time Warner and Comcast and probably a lot of other major providers. But did you read the details of the 22 states or just see "22 states" and think half the country gets ROH? One of the states is Tennessee, a local Nashville station picks it up. However, Memphis, Knoxville, Chattanooga and Tri City areas dont get it. That's a lot of damn people in the state that dont get ROH. How bout Pennsylvania?

If ROH had Hulk Hogan, they might actually get on a television station. I live an hour north of literally EVERY affiliate ROH has in Ohio, nowhere NEAR the 'suburbs' and I still get ROH TV. People AN HOUR NORTH OF ME get at least one of the channels ROH is on. TV stations broadcast a far bigger area than you think. Local affiliates are NOT public access TV, like you seem to think. Charlotte DOES get ROH TV. Chattanooga DOES get ROH TV. Hell, some people in Toronto get ROH TV from the Buffalo, NY affiliate. You really don't seem to know what you're talking about here. |

Actually completely forgot its AXS now. Which, until the switch, I never got HDnet but once they switched to AXS I do get it now. Nothing worth a flip is ever on it though. Anyway the point Im trying to make is look at all other past & present companies... WWE- Universal Networks (USA, NBC, Syfy) WCW- Turner Broadcasting (TNT, TBS, Turner Classics) AWA- ESPN GWF- ESPN ECW- TNN These were all on major networks that were seen in pretty much every city & every state and many many countries. Companies like ROH, USWA, Mid South were only seen by a very small handful of people. If you put a big name somewhere that's not as "populated" so to speak, it gives them the chances to get somewhere bigger in the long run. If Im a TV Exec and someone comes to me and says "Hey we've got two companies to put wrestling on your station. One is led by Joe Schmo as world champion and the other is led by Hulk Hogan as General Manager/President", which do you think the Exec is going to choose? |

To this day, I still dont have HDnet I can confirm that Asheville, NC gets it.  It is fun to watch Saturday nights. |

One is led by Joe Schmo as world champion and the other is led by Hulk Hogan as General Manager/President", which do you think the Exec is going to choose? Most executives don't even want wrestling on their channels anymore. And seriously, all they'd do is look at how TNA's business was unaffected by Hogan being there and I'm inclined to think they'd take the chance that the product with better in ring action and young, fresh faces would do better than a show headed by a guy that a lot of casual fans see as nothing more than an attention whore with no value whatsoever. I mean hey, TNN took on ECW and it did wonders for their channel. I'd rather take the cutting edge, underdog promotion than risk having my channel look like the home for the old, broken down stars of yesterday. |

I have to side with the crowd that says ROH is hard to find on tv.
I live in Texas and unless you live in the Austin/San Antonio areas, you don't have a station with it.
And when it was on HDnet, that for my cable company was a separate channel package that you had to pay separately for.
Plus, at least in my searches, I cannot find current, full eps of ROH on youtube anymore.
