Channel Lineup Move “Seamless”

WMCT TV Staff — Fri, 23 Mar 2012 12:57:44 +0000

It’s been 4 days since Comcast made their channel lineup change placing WMCT on channel 8 and Marlborough Access (formerly known as m8) on channel 96. Verizon “piggy-backs” Comcast’s signal so the move also affected their channel lineup, moving WMCT to channel 33 and Marlborough Access to channel 34.

“In 16 years I’ve seen several channel lineup changes to our stations and none of them have gone so smoothly,” said Executive Director, Dan Guindon.

He said Comacst sent out letters to their customers to let them know of the change. WMCT and Marlborough Access notified viewers through this web site and WMCT’s Facebook page (have YOU liked us yet?). Marlborough Access producers were notified by a blast email from Access Coordinator, Vanessa Gallant.

“We have fielded one call from one Comcast viewer who said that he didn’t get a letter in the mail from Comcast, but that’s it!” added Guindon. “Not bad, considering past confusions.”
