I live in Columbia SC and I have not see any of the Star Trek franchises except the original series playing here for years. No Next Generation, No DS9, No Voyager, and No Enterprise.
Does Paramount sell these shows to small markets anymore? Would love to have any of them back.
Edit:
I am speaking of broadcast TV

You know, I thought maybe you mean non-cable stations when I first replied
Nope, around here (Philly burbs), no Star Trek of any kind. This includes local stations as well as the freebies pulled off a digital antenna -- Ant, Ion, This, Cozi. They all play either fairly recent reruns of comedies, or sitcoms from the 1950s.
Tune in BBCAmerica. Don't know why, but they regularly have 3 or 6 hour blocks of NextGen (when I'm dying for some British programming!)
I wonder if they show the episode where Beverly is kidnapped by the terrorist group on this planet in full on permentant alert. It is in my view one of the BEST represenations of how terrorism within a society really works ever done, something science fiction can do since you can watch it not invested in either. But Data, I think, makes a reference to how the terrorists always succeed in the end. He cites among others, real and not how the Irish took back their country.
The BBC wanted to edit that out. Paramount said no. It wasn't shown in England on its first run and so far as I know none of the ones after.
I wonder if some reference had been made in the episode where Picard is tortured by the Cardassian to it being the same approach as used on earth, like in the British prisons in Ireland, if they'd have pulled that one too?
