Re: Comcast removing WCAU from analog in Ocean County, NJ
said by PGHammer  :Both stations are NBC owned and operated; so it had to be with the explicit consent of NBC. In fact, it may have been at the *request* of NBC... In addition to my initial phone conversation with a CSR rep stationed in Eatontown, NJ, I've had detailed e-mail correspondence with two "Comcast Customer Care Specialists" and all three have stated or implied that the decision to remove WCAU and WNBC from analog in the respective outside market areas was one made by Comcast as a first or early step in transitioning to all-digital. While NBC or the respective local stations may have consented, I didn't get the impression they had initiated these changes. |
