If you wanted the Pac 12 Network, you knew up front which provider or providers you needed. Pretty much anything but DirectvTV. With The CW, same providers have it in one area but in other areas it doesn't. Each area negotiates their own CW agreement, not just at the provider level. Then, as others have shared, even if your area has negotiated an agreement with your provider, some areas carry it live while others only on demand. Then even if it is carried live in your area the local affiliate decides whether to broadcast in standard definition or HD. As far as telecommunications go in this country, that's about as primitive as it gets.
