CENTREVILLE — The Queen Anne’s County Commissioners sent a letter Jan. 6 to Atlantic Broadband, the county’s cable television provider, asking the company to return WBOC, CBS-affiliate Channel 16 out of Salisbury, to the local cable lineup.
The letter, addressed to Sam McGill, local ABB vice president and general manager, reads, “We would like to take this opportunity to express our displeasure with the removal of WBOC Channel 16 programming from the Atlantic Broadband offerings for cable subscribers in Queen Anne’s County. We have had a number of residents call with concerns/complaints about this decision and we share their concerns.”
Commissioner Paul Comfort said he had spoken with McGill and was told Atlantic Broadband only has to offer one CBS station. Queen Anne’s County is in the Baltimore “must carry” region, so ABB only has to offer WJZ, Channel 13, out of Baltimore. ABB added WUSA, Channel 9, out of Washington, D.C., many years ago to meet viewer demands for area news and sports. With WBOC, the cable franchise was offering three CBS stations.
