I was seeing Sununu/Shaheen ads on my local Comcast system here.  They
do seem to have difficult with finding local advertising that's
actually appropriate -- the biggest local cable advertiser here
appears to be a car dealer from an hour away that I'd be quite
surprised if anyone in Framingham ever patronized.
