“It's obvious they don't care about their customers who live here on Delmarva,” said Craig Jahelka, vice president/general manager of WBOC-TV. “We are the only CBS affiliate providing local news, severe weather and sports coverage, school closings, and local programming. They don't think their customers want local information. In fact, in a letter to James Moran, president of the Queen Anne's County Commissioners, Sam McGill, the vice president/general manager of Atlantic Broadband in Grasonville, twice refers to his as a “Delmar system” instead of a Delmarva system. It just reiterates how little Atlantic Broadband executives know or care about our area.”
Jahelka said the decision was made by Atlantic Broadband's corporate office in Massachusetts, which does not understand the geography of Delmarva nor the needs of our family, friends and neighbors who live here.
“I have tried in earnest to get them to keep WBOC-TV on their cable system, but they don't care about their Delmarva customers who pay a high price for their monthly cable service,” Jahelka said. “And we really want to be there for these viewers, especially at time when severe weather hits the peninsula.”

Good. Wboc forces us to watch only their cbs programs. Claims it federal regulation. I would rather watch wjz instead if wboc. I should have the choice.
ReplyDeleteWhat is all the hoopla about, get an antenna and switch to air and you will get all the local channels.
ReplyDeleteYou do not have to disconnect anything.
Best of both worlds, so I ask, why has WBOC not told anyone of this.
Buh bye BOC your half ass news reports Delaware biased reporting and liberal politician supporting channel is soon to be the next property the hospital or college buys
ReplyDeleteThey don't cover the Maryland side of Delmarva, so I'm glad they dumped them! If I want to get Maryland news, I have to go to WBAL or WJZ. They Suck! Nothing but Delaware news. Little to nothing concerning Virginia or Maryland. There is Nothing in the name Delmarva about them.
