With a gubernatorial election in a dead heat, I would think the two major candidates would be 
trying to reach those voters.  I do remember, in my senior year at UMass, living in one of the 
high-rise dorms, we got WCDC 19 rather well, and since that was a mid-term election year, I 
saw some Massachusetts ads on Channel 19.  

But I wonder how many people in the Berkshires have cable or sattelite TV and whether they 
actually use Albany media.
