Except for areas north of Concord NH, I can't imagine any areas now
served by channels 46, 54 and 60 that aren't served by channels 21, 58
and 68.
If they were all Pax stations, could cable operators drop one of them? I
imagine most cable systems would now have two Pax stations in their
lineup. Unlike two ABC/CBS/NBC/UPN/WB stations, which many systems
carry, the Pax stations are virtually identical to each other.
The sale of channel 68 is a big loss to Boston television. There's now
no locally-owned TV station in town. Thank goodness we still have
channel 50!
