Cable systems carry local stations because it is good business.  One of
things that has held up satellite TV has been the lack of local stations.  I
can't imagine a cable system in New Hampshire that would not want to carry
WMUR.  Dropping the station could cost them subscribers.

WMTW's tower may be on Mt. Washington, but it is a Maine station with an
increasing focus on Maine news.  Also, WMTW will at some point be moving to
their new tower near Sebago Lake.
