Charter TV 3 Commercial programming on the Educational Public Access Channel
Submitted by mauro on July 19, 2008 - 10:02pm.
Apparently Charter's TV 3 is running on two channels this evening overriding the educational access channel 11 and on it's own channel 3. We noticed this occuring from about 6PM, or possibly earlier, to this moment at about 10:50PM Charter's TV 3 seems to be airing on the WPS channel 11 commercials and all. It seems to be a connection problem. We received complaints from west side viewers. So we are not certain the problem is visible everywhere.
It reminds me, about a year and a half ago, after hundreds of petitioners asked the City Manager to negotiate for WCCA to be seen county wide, Charter's reps at a Public Service and Transportation hearing said it couldn't be done. Well it can, as we always knew, and tonight everyone can see it. The connection seems to be there. Recently there was some controversy surrounding public access show produced in Northbridge. The Producer of that show also apparently purchases time on Charter's TV 3. Her show was scheduled to cable cast at 2:30 AM on Saturday. Hopefully it will be rectified before the controversial Dudular TV airs on the Worcester's educational channel. Most likely someone else is paying attention to this apparent SNAFU.

Update
The problem is not fixed yet. As of Sunday evening at about 8:45 PM Charter's TV 3 is airing over the educational access channel 11.
Finally Fixed
As of Monday morning around 9AM we noticed the problem fixed.
Charter's tech crew usually do a good job responding once they are notified. Thanks guys and girls.
