The local aspect comes from hardware and ad-insertion systems physically owned and operated by local cable and satellite companies at their regional hub or headend sites.
With the mergers in cable, I wonder if the geographic areas for these local inserts have gotten wider too.
Just think of the Cox and Spectrum merger. Before Cox was most of New Orleans metro, and Spectrum was the Northshore and the Bayou area except for parts of Houma and parts of St. John with Comcast and South Lafourche with REV as primary cable providers.
Now that large part of the New Orleans DMA is now all Spectrum and can be fed from one regional headend, they could eliminate a few duplicate headend equipment needs like cable ad insertion and Weather Channel inserts.
As cable becomes more IP based, these localized services suffer as each channel is replaced with a unique local stream requiring encoding equipment for each location as it is prepared for distribution to a local area or to even smartphones if the cable provider provides those channels via its app.

re: New Orleans port gets federal approval to start building new terminal in St. Bernard

Look at the positive financial impact this will have on St. Bernard. The parish needs this, as does the state.
Anyone start to feel the economic boom heading to this state? With the billions in private investment headed to Louisiana, you would think the economy would be booming and the state would be readying to start handing out tax refund or rebate checks with all the extra tax revenue coming in.

Change My Mind: DST should End in Early October Than November
Posted by Tarps99 on 10/13/26 at 6:39 am
Anyone here not liking the late sunrise in the morning this time of year. Plus if DST were implemented year round it would be worse in December with the sun not rising until almost 8 am in South Louisiana. Of course in northern areas and western parts of the central time zone sunrise would come at almost 9 am in December if year round DST were implemented.

Theoretically they do. If they set off an explosion at Chernobyl, that might release enough nuclear material on that side of the world that thousands of square miles around the already closed off exclusion zone will become radioactive.
re: Why is Gayle waiting to sell the team when she dies? Why not do it now
Posted by Tarps99 on 10/11/26 at 5:50 pm to Islandboy777
Team might be locked in financial trusts only in the event she passes away. Selling it before her death may trigger unwanted financial consequences or penalties that will not maximize the foundation that will be setup with the proceeds of the sale.
Someone or some group is going to make bank running this foundation distributing the funds.
It reminds me of George in Seinfeld after Susan dies, and he finds out how much wealth they would have received after they got married. But because they didn’t, her parents put it all into a foundation to be distributed. George got to sit on the board, but it was an unpaid position.
I could only imagine in the Saints situation, it would be a paid position and someone will come in and rake in 7 figures a year to distribute the billions to various organizations and not profits.
