WWLP is being dropped by Charter Communications on January 1 on the 
former Greater Media systems, including Worcester, in favor of WYDN 
Worcester (channel 48).  All I can say is, they'd better not on my system 
in Barre, where all three full-power stations are carried (22, 40 and 
57).  We're closer to Springfield than Boston and their weather forecasts 
are often more accurate, especially in the winter.

There was also a letter to the editor in the Worcester Telegram & Gazette 
this week complaining about the total lack of coverage of the fire story 
by Worcester's two TV stations, WUNI (27) and WYDN (48).  I agree with 
the writer that it is shameful that Worcester had to rely on out-of-town 
stations for coverage while its own stations ignored the story.
