What great news for Holly Springs. 20,000 plus residents and growing now get a town channel. It's great there will be a channel dedicated to the residents of such an incredible town. HS has made it to the big time. Thanks go out to TWC, as always.

Cary News | Holly Springs TV coming in July (http://www.carynews.com/news/holly_springs/story/12631.html - broken link)

"Time Warner Cable customers in Holly Springs can soon expect to see their own faces lighting up government access television on channel 11.
“Holly Springs TV” is set to launch July 11 and will feature town happenings, government meetings, weather and news. The channel will do an initial switch-over from Cary town programming on June 1, showing some pre-taped meetings, videos and messages — a ramp-up month to what staff hopes will become must-see TV in Holly Springs."

I wonder if they will end up putting it in HDTV? I usually only watch HD programming, but I may make an exception for programming about such a spectacular town.

Those that are interested in learning about their area, both historical and new development, would. I am always curious as to what is going on around the better parts of the Triangle and given that the countryburbs are the only way to live when you are into nature, I will find this new channel very appealing. There are thousands of others who love living life in the countryburbs, so they may find it enlightening also.

LOL! Uh...no. Although I do watch some of the local access shows on Channel 10 (like Monkeytime) for the sh*ts and giggles of it all.

Most of the local towns/cities that didn't already have them have been getting in them in the last few months...
You can find a list here: (although it seems Holly Springs was behind schedule so some of the others might be also)

I thought Cary tv was on channel 11? Will they take that off? I guess this is good news for Holly Springs...I had no idea the pop was over 20,000 now. Does anyone know the new pop for Fuquay Varina?
