I went to speak to Wave Broadband customer service in person today (Wave Broadband serves Woodburn, Canby, Silverton, Stayton, Grande Ronde, Sandy, and some smaller towns around those).  I was surprised to find someone who was actually knowledgeable about the situation, instead of the worthless people I was getting on the phone.

Here's what I was told and, I think, its good news.  We know that Wave is changing their channel lineup.  The woman pointed me to the brochuere that we got in the mail.  One of the changes is that FSN is moving to channel 38.  Channel 37 is being left open to accomodate CSN.  I'm told that almost everything has been agreed to, price, etc.  The only issue still under negotiation is that Wave has some subscribers in the Seattle area.  Wave doesn't want to offer CSN to those subscribers, because its Oregon programming.  Comcast wants to.  I'm told that this is the only issue left in negotiations and that its pretty much a lock this will be done by basketball season.  Of course, cable companies tell us a lot of things, but I think that FSN moving channels to open up channel 37 is pretty good evidence that something's in the works.

Doesn't affect a lot of people, but very good for the few of us that it will.
