The stations are: KCPQ (Fox station in Seattle); WPIX (CW station in New York); WGN-TV (CW station in Chicago); and KTXL (Fox station in Sacramento, California.)
The satcaster has also added WGN America HD, as reported here earlier this week. The high-def channel carries HD broadcasts of the Chicago Cubs and Chicago White Sox.
The channel additions are part of a larger carriage agreement between Dish Network and Tribune, which also includes local HD signals for 23 Tribune stations in 19 markets.
"With the Cubs and White Sox leading their divisions in the Major Leagues, we are excited to reach this agreement with Tribune to launch WGN America in HD,” said Eric Sahl, senior vice president of programming for Dish Network.
WGN America is on Dish Network's channel 239 and is available to customers who subscribe to the AT200 Essential HD package or higher and Dish's 'HD Only' package.
