I don't live off-campus and an online search trying to find the local
off-campus cable system proved fruitless. (I did think it was at one time
TCI, later AT&T Broadband and still later Comcast, but a search of Comcast's
web site for a State College channel lineup comes up invalid).

Other network affiliates are hauled in from Altoona/Johnstown, with
Pittsburgh's NBC affiliate and Scranton's ABC affiliate also on the lineup.
I would say geography (i.e. big mountains) might be a factor in not carrying
WLYH-TV Lancaster, the closest UPN affiliate, but picking up Scranton kind
of throws cold water on that theory.

Outside the Boston market, the satellite uplink for Channel 38 consists of
UPN programming, from what I understand, not baseball.
