Charter Spectrum is dropping WWLP from its ENTIRE Berkshire channel lineup. This isolates the Berkshires from the rest of the diocese and state. Specifically, it means local Catholics will not have access to either "The Chalice of Salvation" or "Real to Reel" from WWLP. Contrary to what Charter has suggested, there is no FCC requirement for them to eliminate WWLP. Congressman Neal & Senator Markey are aware of this situation and advocating but as of yet Charter has remained steadfast. Please encourage your parishioners to speak out on this terrible decision by calling Charter's Washington DC number-202-621-1923. Flood that number with complaints. Also write letters to congressman Neal & Senators Markey and Warren encouraging them to keep up the pressure on Charter.
