180.0. "Cable Companies" by MILPND::J_TOMAO () Tue Oct 19 1993 01:37

    
    Anyone with Greater Media Cable/Worcester know how to access channel 64
    anymore? It seems to have been dropped (without notice) this month. 
    
    Thanks -

    I had to re-post the base note while changing the header to a generic
    topic of Cable Companies.
    
    Please be careful about possible slander when discussing specific
    companies.

    Now to reply as a just a noter.
    
    Channel 64 and other channels were recently droppped by Greater Media
    Cable in Central Mass.  I was never pleased with their service so I
    cancelled their service over 2 years ago (have gone through CNN and
    A&E withdrawal but I am o.k. now) when I cancelled I spoke to a
    supervisor and told her why I was cancelling (she didn;t seem to care,
    sigh)
    
    SO I would suggest you send a letter to them and express your concern
    over channels being cancelled...it may help to get it back.
    
    Good Luck

    	This sounds like it could be related to the war between the
    	TV/cable networks ... the TV networks are forbidding [how-
    	ever they can do it ... not sure of the specifics] the cable
    	companies from carrying the local broadcast channels.
