WMUR replacing WHDH? I doubt it.

[Maureen Carney]

62 is still running infomercials. No sign of any ethnic programming. They do have a digital subchannel that runs intermittently, but it simulcasts the main channel anyway. I guessing Multicultural was hoping that producers of ethnic shows would line up to buy time and spare them the expense of developing them. That's what they do with their radio stations.

62 is for sale?  I thought Multicultural bought it not long ago and was going to launch Asian language programming on it, since Boston is the 11th largest Asian market or something...

And besides, doesn't NBC own a share of 46?  That might make it easier to manage.
