No, not the Olympic Games; those have just started. We are referring to the games between Time-Warner cable and Hearst Television, which left many thousands of peo- ple in New Hampshire without access to WMUR, which is New Hampshire’s only television station with local news and weather. The loss was especially felt throughout the North Coun- try, which has few additional outlets for television news. At one time in the not so distant past, one could set up rabbit ears on a television or an antenna on the roof of a house to get signals from Maine, Vermont, and even south- ern New Hampshire. With the new and improved digital signals, however, those days are over. The newer signals don’t go as far and they must be strong in order to be re- ceived. No slightly fuzzy or less than perfect reception. Now either you get the signal at full strength or you don’t.
