Broadcast Station Dropped By Comcast

[Laurence Glavin]

Over the past year-and-a-half, Comcast has dropped several cable channels
from basic analog, all the while upping the subscription price.
I didn't get around to my Comcast bill until today (Friday, 12/26)
and I noticed that the next channel to go is WYDN-TV, over-the-air channel 
48, on Comcast, channel 23.  This appears to be the first BROADCAST channel
to be axed, but it appears that must-carry may not be a problem for the
Lawrece/Methuen "service", since channel  48 couldn't have been picked up
by most of the people being "served".  I wouldn't be surprised to learn
that channels 10 and 12 had better signals in both cities, because before
cable, when I had a rooftop antenna, both Providence outlets came in fairly
well, and VERY well many times a year, especially in the summer.  WYDN-DT
will be offered on a digital tier, but I won't be asking for it (although
Pastor Hagee's show can be good for laughs).
