All South Carolina residents want In-State Local Channels

Localism is important to the state you live, work, and breathe in especially the state of South Carolina. There are 13 orphan counties in the state of South Carolina that's located in another market's state. Beaufort, Jasper, and Hampton Counties in South Carolina are assigned to the Savannah, GA market. McCormick, Edgefield, Aiken, Barnwell, Allendale, and Bamberg Counties in South Carolina are assigned to the Augusta, GA market. York, Chester, Chesterfield, and Lancaster Counties in South Carolina are assigned to the Charlotte, NC market. Some times orphan counties are denied to get in-state news, weather, sports, and public affairs programs. Due to this outdated assignments by Nieslen, they're denied to get relevant programming of the market of their choice.

The FCC is revising its rules on STELAR Market Modification by September 4th, 2015, which permit those to get in-state news, weather, sports, and public affairs programming on MVPDs (also those who live in orphan counties) from the state of South Carolina (including Charleston, Columbia, and Greenville).

All South Carolina cable and satellite TV subscribers deserved to watch in-state news, weather, sports, and public affairs programming from the Charleston, Columbia, and Greenville markets.

We're asking for the South Carolina TV stations which include 4 network affiliated TV stations in Greenville, 4 network affiliated TV stations in Charleston, and 4 network affiliated TV stations in Columbia. We want them available for all cable providers, satellite providers such as DIRECTV and DISH. We want all TV stations from the state of South Carolina to be available to all providers in the state of South Carolina.
