NH Chan 50 TV / 35 dt

The interesting thing to watch will be to see how Comcast and others treats this signal. When I lived in Wakefield, WNDS was only "must carry" to the Warner subscribers in Wakefield, but none of the surrounding towns in the Warner "Medford Complex" because its signal was just strong enough to make it a must carry in Wakefield, but not Melrose, Malden, Medford, etc..

Granted this was back in the day when space on a cable system was at a premium, but now that there is a good amount of space due to digital technology would Comcast/ RCN/ Verizon/ Charter/ still drop any signal that does not meet the letter of the law for "must carry" status? I think the Derry NH C.O.L. station would be gone in a second if Comcast could do it.

There are a bunch of crap stations out there that are "dollar a holler" infomercial or shop at home stations that forced there way onto cable systems using "must carry" that might be in for a rude awakening when their digital signal doesn't make it over the air to places the analog signal did.
