Why Denver, CO?

[croozergrl]

Sailing on the Victory out of San Juan on Sunday and have a very important question...does anyone know why the Carnival ships get local Denver TV stations? I am sure it has something to do with the satellites but just wondering.

[*Mach*]

Until just very recently Denver was the only way that Carnival could provide the normal network channels... ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox. Carnival has now been able to contract with new affiliates out of Miami to provide the network feeds. The new feeds start next week so expect a change on the Victory!

Starting next week across the fleet our new TV programing starts with clear and total access to NBC, CBS, ABC, FOX . These will be Miami stations and not Colorado as before. No........we dont have Fox news but continue with our CNN and ESPN packages.

It would be nice if the west coast cruises could get Los Angeles channels instead of Miami channels.

Will be a nice change on the TV.

I think the change sucks as I always enjoyed seeing snow on the ground at home when I was on my balcony having a drink and a cigarette :).

 

Now I'll just have to have a drink and a cig and think of freezing my a** off back home instead of seeing it.

Yes, we always enjoyed being able to keep up with local news/weather/sports!!!!!! while on vacation....

 

Guess we'll have to adapt..........NO PROBLEM MON, we're on V.A.C.A.T.I.O.N!!:D

I agree I like to see the snow on the ground when I am at sea in 80 degreee weather.

We loved the Denver news as we are from CO. For a while DH had me convinced it was a special Carnival service....each cabin had the news from their home state.

[marshabear]

it is already in place on the Victory...we sailed in Feb and had channels from Miami....

Next week as in this Sunday 5/1/11???

 

The Miami heat playoff games are on local channels and would LOVE for the Glory to have the Miami feed.

Half the stuff was in spanish coming out of Miami when we were on board in February. We had to watch the superbowl with half Spanish ads and not the english ones everyone else saw from our room.

We had Miami based TV on the Fascination last month.

Back in 2002-2004, the affiliates were from Erie PA, NYC, and (I think) Memphis.

We had the Miami stations aboard "Dream" a couple of weeks ago. I couldn't care less, except it is nice to get "local weather" while on a cruise, instead of seeing the constant snow in Denver. (sorry Coloradans) :) There were a couple of stations that were ALL broadcast in Spanish, but no big deal?
