[B-R-I] Re: WLEK-LD 22 Concord NH comes to Peabody

[Kevin Vahey]

This is becoming a farce.

Obviously WLEK-LP can no longer be received OTA in Concord, NH and now I
get a fine signal in Cambridge, meanwhile, I still can't get 2.1

Ed Ansin figured out the spectrum auction and repack as well as anyone and
Comcast created a full-service TV station for a fraction of what buying an
existing license would have cost.

I can't keep track anymore
