WENH - WGBH and Lawrence Welk

[TVNETDUDE@aol.com]

I thoroughly enjoyed the couple of years that I worked  for NHPTV in the 
70's and early 80's and now it will soon be a  lights out operation. After 
reading some of the posts on this subject who  is responsible for programming 
Channel 11? NHPTV or GBH?

I don't know what Channel 44 airs Saturday  nights, but if I'm home I 
occasionally tune in to Lawrence Welk on NHPTV.  My parents never missed 
Welk 
when it originally aired and I remember  watching with them. I agree if 
Channel 2 or 44 doesn't air the Welk shows  they will certainly hear about 
it, both via phone calls/e-mails and in  their "wallet" (folks not 
contributing).

Another reason NHPTV will  be missed on Comcast will be the several UNH 
hockey games they broadcast  in season. I'm sure UNH alums/hockey fans in 
the 
Bay State will miss these  broadcasts, if indeed they continue under this 
new 
arrangement with  WGBH.
