I get them all, except PAX is a cable network here. I think some places have local affiliates. Odd.
I don't know why I need WGN, unless I want to watch a Columbo mystery movie or Home Improvement/Will & Grace reruns. I'd much rather have the old WGN, where they were a WB affiliate and I could catch all my shows 3 hours early.

I don't get any of them. I have a dish, and I don't have an antenna hooked up to either television. I don't like to watch TV that's got commercials in it anyway.

I have all the above except WGN. Although it was never "local", the damn cable company removed it from the lineup a couple of years ago and it replaced with The National Geographic Channel.

I also get Univision and Telemundo, but I think the reception sucks unless you have cable. They are local affilates, though, not that it would ever of any use to me.
In the late 90s, there was this Internet-esque service that used the broadcast signal from your local PBS station to provide web content to your computer. Obviously, you would need a TV tuner card, but I never really got it work. Also, obviously, it went out of business, since it was sort of a stupid idea. It would have been amusing to see what I could have done with the service, though.

ABC, NBC, CBS, and Fox are broadcast here; we get WB, WGN, and Pax through canble, but no UPN. Our local Fox and ABC affiliates do get select UPN programming (Enterprise & Smackdown, and Buffy before it ended) that they air at night on weekends.
