I have heard that they have a fiber connection to DirecTV, and are using that to keep the signal on selected cable systems.

It's a situation that bears watching.

The judge appointed the cable operator as the bankruptcy trustee for an OTA TV station????? Haven't showered yet this morning, but IMHO that's not what smells.....
 
WLNE-DT (ABC) is an ABC affiliate that should be on equal footing with their digital signal coverage, compared to WJAR-DT (NBC) channel 10 and WPRI-DT (CBS) channel 12. That stigma of New Bedford, MA and the analog coverage issues is a tough one to break. Plus they didn't sign on until 1963, well after channels 10 and 12 were on the air.

Isn't WJAR-DT on channel 51, or has that changed?
 
Oh, and another thing: if their ABC affiliation is deemed an incubus, Boston's WCVB, analog 5, digital 20, cleaned up in the latest boston sweeps!
