According to TWC-Wisconsin's website, this is what they are:

I hope we don't get down to the wire with Dec 31st crap and that deals can be reached long before than.

I'm curious what the FS WI alternate feed is all about.

I'm curious what the FS WI alternate feed is all about.

Yeah, FSNWI already is the alternate feed of FSNN. Hmm.

Maybe they are adding it just in case of Bucks/Wild conflicts?

Ehh, no new HD channels, nothing interesting to see here.

I like how they think they carry GAC HD, that channel doesn't even offer a HD feed.

I don't see anything that would be a big loss there, but it would be really dumb if they lost Cooking Channel HD six months after they added it. I like Cooking Channel more than the Food Network so they better work it out with Scripps.

Looks like as of Friday, FUSE and FUSE HD are gone nationwide on TWC. I rarely watch the channels, but was hoping to see their coverage of Jingle Ball 2011 from NYC. Oh, well.

ETA: MSG and MSG HD might follow shortly. I think both are available here if you have the sports pack.

They changed the site around a little bit.  Here is the new link:

I am not sure, but I think they have the notices for the different sections of Wisconsin, reversed.
