There's  something about this that doesn't make sense to me; maybe someone 
can  explain it.  If WLNE (nee WTEV) was modestly successful in its early  
years targeting New Bedford-Fall River and the rest of southeastern Mass.,  
why couldn't the same be true today?  The population is certainly  larger 
there than it was 40-50 years ago.   -Doug

AND back then, there were 3 or 4 TV stations to choose from.  With  
cable/satellite/computer now, there are hundreds of choices.
 
The jokers at Ch 6 must have known that the fallout would be huge if they  
ran an infomerical instead of the news.  Their own fault this is  happening.
