Where Lowered Numbered Channels Are Not Available

It’s alarming but there’s a number of big cities in the US where the only channels where you can watch CW on DirecTV is Channel 394 or 395.

For whatever reason, they don’t have lowered number channels like the rest of the markets that we researched.

These cities are Los Angeles, New York City, Nashville, Honolulu, and Brownsville.

We don’t think that it’s because there was a contract dispute and CW got left out, but more that when the time to create the channel lists for these areas, CW didn’t make the cut.

People in Louisville really love the CW though.  They have 4 channels where you can watch the channel: 8, 34, 394, and 395.
