Adelphia in Colorado Springs at least has MHz Worldview

Sunday, 16 April 2006, at 1:41 a.m. US Eastern Time

Just to let you know that I was reading my local paper the Colorado Springs Gazette this morning and looked at their setion on what sports were on TV today(Saturday). The very 1st entry was Australian Rules Football 6m MST Adelphia Channel 19. I immerdiately checked the interactive Moxi Guide and while it showed blocks of "Educational Access" the actual station on viewing was MHz Worldview. After checking their website and the AFANA email I was able to confirm that the broadcast was to be on featuring Geelong vs North Melbourne which I duly watched. I called Adelphia to find out why we hadnt heard of this new channel but received little information. Apparently a Government Access Company operating out of Florida provides the content for this station. Hence I have no clue what other cable companies may be broadcasting MHz Worldview. Anyway after thinking there would be no coverage I have my weekly fix back
By the way didnt renew video subscription with AFL as I never received good enough quality last year for the streaming and based on comments so far Im glad I havent. Im also unhappy at their Live Scores, Stats & Audio which seems a total mess at the moment. Here is hoping they lift their game soon.

Thanks for that report, Simon. Yes, as we reported in the first couple of TV and Media newsletters this year, MHz Worldvivew is on some Adelphia systems, particularly in the Colorado Springs area. We're hoping the coverage expands and MHz is pursuing that. Once we can get a better handle on it, we will be including more info on that in our newsletters and on the web site. MHz Worldview is partly funded by the US Dept. of Education and may be using that to reach government access and school related TV channels. It's also available to any public television station. Glad you got your footy back!
