To clarify the Springfield WFSB scenario

[Fitzpatrick, Mike]

It was announced in a recent newspaper article (in the Springfield
Republican, although I can not place the date) that Meredith's "CBS3" in
Springfield (properly known as WSHM-LP 67) will NOT carry a local newscast,
at least anytime soon. Meredith states that it will cost too much to do a
local newscast. However locally they will replace what would be local
newscasts with syndicated programs.

WSHM-LP will be carried on the Comcast systems officially January 01, 2004.
No word on if Charter will also do the same.
