Because the owner wouldn't sell it to them at the price offerred. They're reported to be moving their signal in Jan 2017 to a low-power NH station my set does not pick up. FCC says they have to provide broadcast signal to wide area to keep their license, but they don't give a hoot because they own Comcast.
I guess I will have to watch my NBC shows on a computer.

I expect the last shot has not yet been fired in this battle.ghostjmf wrote:Because the owner wouldn't sell it to them at the price offerred.

I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Re: NBC in Boston dropping channel 7
Yeah, station owner says he'll sue if they leave. Won't help me watch my programs, that.
NBC wants to pay $300 mil, station owner wants $500 mil. Or something like that.
Not the 1st time NBC has made this bid. Is the 1st time they've decreed sayonara. They've been wooing local newscasters & recently wooed away channel 7's weatherperson, I read.
Herald (local paper) says they'll move their broadcast to channel 60, which I can't get, Globe (local paper) says where they'll move is not yet specified. WBUR (local PBS) says they own Telemundo. I have to look up where Telemundo broadcasts if anywhere. Lots of stations around 60 broadcasting in Spanish, but not on 60 itself.
