What?

You think people in Rutland care more about what happens an hour away
(more likely two if they ran the Manchester news) in New Hampshire
than about what happens thirty minutes in New York at the west end of
the only expressway in the county?

If that were the case, why would Comcast-Rutland carry WRGB and WTEN?

For what it's worth, Comcast in WRJ allegedly carries WBZ, WCVB,
and WHDH in addition to WCAX, WVNY, and WNNE.  (Zap2it identifies it
as the "Lebanon" system, so presumably the headend is across the river
and, since all of New Hampshire is in the Boston market for
must-carry, they get the Boston signals in addition to the locals.)
Do they really need a third ABC affiliate?  (Do they really even need
a second?)
