Check out what people are saying about it just in this one thread on my town's online bulletin board. And the change hasn't even gone into effect yet!

Also, I asked her if this decision was made by Comcast or by NBC (as was suggested by celeritypc See Profile in the thread linked above) and she said it was 100% a Comcast decision. I think this blows, pardon my French!
If it was 100% Comcast, why only NBC? I understand that they could still indeed be planning to do the other networks but they can't just move the channel off of basic unless NBC agreed to it.

Also, is WCAU or WNBC sooooo important that you would rather have a duplicate feed over new channels? My guess is that most subscribers would differ on that one.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17273248 Tue, 14 Nov 2006 11:02:48 EDT Re: Comcast Central New jersey Removes wnbc new york http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17273003 TurboDan : As has been discussed previously, this is a very lame way to cut bandwidth off of analog. If anything, Comcast should be ADDING the WeatherPlus feeds from WCAU in Ocean County as well as WTXF-DT for HD Eagles games.

The vast majority of people probably don't even know yet that this is going down tomorrow. Wait 'til Comcast hears the flood of calls coming in when WCAU (very much a beloved channel for news and especially weather) goes dark on analog. I think the backlash (in both DMAs) will be huge. This may not last for long.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17273003 Tue, 14 Nov 2006 10:07:03 EDT Re: Comcast Central New jersey Removes wnbc new york http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17271383 Steely :

NBC most likely had a say in the decision and may have been the prime motivator behind it.
You still may be correct but when I asked that question point blank today, the CSR rep stated with certainty that this was a Comcast move.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17271383 Mon, 13 Nov 2006 23:24:05 EDT Re: Comcast Central New jersey Removes wnbc new york http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17271360 celeritypc : Withdrawn (Steely beat me to the punch)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17271360 Mon, 13 Nov 2006 23:21:25 EDT Re: Comcast Central New jersey Removes wnbc new york http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17271350 Steely : I hear you, brother!!!

»Re: Comcast of NJ II Channel Line-Up

BTW, when I got to work at my East Windsor office this morning a co-worker, unaware I knew anything about this, started bitching to me about the WNBC change planned for tomorrow. I told him I already knew and then picked up the phone and called Comcast to complain. Fortunately I got a nice woman in Toms River (the last few times I've called prior to today I reached an office in Louisiana) who listened to my complaint and told me she'd pass it on to Comcast's Marketing Department. She also said they'd call me to discuss it but I'm not holding my breath. I told her to get ready for the onslaught of calls from irate customers which will no doubt begin tomorrow when folks try to tune into channel 4 and get NOTHING! Also, I asked her if this decision was made by Comcast or by NBC (as was suggested by celeritypc See Profile in the thread linked above) and she said it was 100% a Comcast decision. I think this blows, pardon my French!]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17271350 Mon, 13 Nov 2006 23:19:00 EDT Comcast Central New jersey Removes wnbc new york http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17270168 llevitt : :huh:Comcast Central new jersey is removing WNBC New York from their Analog line up, it will still be available in Digital Format.I am a Native New Yorker and do not watch Philadelphia News.
