I hope you are right. Just switched to DTV a couple of months ago from having MediaCON for a very long time. After switching to DTV, it's like why did I wait so long. Went from Pinto to Infiniti. Oh well, I am signed up with CTV anyway but it would be nice to have it on the TV without the need to stream.

I went to the Fox Sports Midwest website and punched in my zip code and provider as Mediacom:
Fox Sports Midwest - TV Listings

It lists the following channels for zip code 50009:

832 HD
40 SD
34 Alt-1

What I am guessing is that the "1A" that people are seeing really stands for Alt-1. The 1A only shows up on TV's that are not digital and are hooked up to a Mediacom digital converter. That is not to say that Fox won't do something with some channel on Mediacom or DirecTV or Dish or all three-we'll just have to wait and see. This is a typical Jamie way of handling things-keep it a secret and keep people in suspense to build anticipation.

Hope South Slope (east-central Iowa) carries it! We have CSN, FSNM & FSNMW currently so I would think we would likely get this channel added! But being in eastern Iowa...you never know!

That's what I thought also. The IA and 1A look the same on a low definition TV screen.

Take this for what it's worth...

I know someone who spoke to Jamie last week. He said an announcement is coming but the final details were taking longer than he thought. So I don't think it's a case of him intentionally building suspense.
