I recall years ago that NHPTV had a daily newscast, not unlike the ones
on commercial TV today.  IIRC they did a series of stories that were
critical of Gov Mel Thompson and/or his policies and POOF....funding from
the state dried up and the newscast was gone!
The newscast has not returned although they are making an effort with a
magazine type show, I think it's called NH Outlook.
