Re: Fw: WMVU Adopting WALE Business Model?

Fitchburg & Pittsfield (which I am familiar with, living in the metro west
area for 30 years before retiring to Maine) is like hundreds of other small
markets; not only in N.E., but throughout the country; whose base revenue
has been dried up by Cable; which offers a competitive a rate card that
delivers sight and sound for the price of audio alone. It's a SHAME, but
never the less a fact of life.
