Anthony sent this one for those of you who are Smackdown-less. ... With El Paso, TX not having a steady (non-cable) UPN affiliate for the last several years, catching Smackdown has been a hassle. I too was disappointed when KVIA issued the PR about the CW change not happening. But there is an option, to those DISH Network subscribers... There are 3 Super Station channels that can be individually added to their package provided that they already have local channels. They are:

235 KWGN (CW affiiate out of Denver)
234 WPIX (CW affiliate out of NYC)
233 KTLA (CW affiliate out of Los Angeles)
