NECN probably has the best local news stuff anyway ......

I'm not kidding here, they had EVERY station from Boston-Manchester plus 1 station from Portland on the lineup including my favorite station WGBH-TV Channel 2 PBS In Boston, they never offed any stations from Burlington, although they did have WNNE sometime in the 1990's though, the only way people could get stations out of Burlington was by sattelite dish. But now that Time Warner of Plymouth has bought the locally owned cable company Skisat in which they bought it around Sep-Oct 2011, this is what their lineup consists of now as of January 1, 2012:

I just can't believe they got rid of every TV Station from Boston from their lineup except for WBZ & WHDH and replaced them with Burlington stations, at least they brought back WNNE to Waterville Valley, if only Time Warner had not bought Skisat in the 1st place then they would've still had ALL the stations from Boston and still not get any stations from Burlington for a little bit longer, and WMUR would've still been on the lineup if Time Warner did not buy Skisat, but they just had to, and it sucks now dosen't it?
