Ed Ansin, owner of Boston NBC affiliate WHDH, has made it clear he will not let go of his NBC affiliation without a fight. In his latest appeal, Ansin has enlisted some heavy political power to tug at our TV watching heartstrings.
“We don’t want to see a day when there’s a kid in Brockton, a poor kid, that wants to watch the Patriots on Sunday night and they don’t have access to NBC for free on their local television station and they don’t subscribe to cable,” said Massachusetts Sen. Edward Markey. “We have to make sure that kid and every kid and every adult in our region has access to free over the air television.”
