Cox Communications and LIN TV announced today that they have reached a deal for Cox to carry LIN's local HD and digital broadcast channels on its cable systems in LIN markets. According to the companies:
"The deal enables hundreds of thousands of viewers to watch LIN TV's award-winning news, sports and entertainment programs in high-definition from the affiliate stations of WALA-TV (FOX) and WBPG-TV (CW) in the Mobile, Alabama - Pensacola, Florida DMA; WAVY-TV (NBC) and WVBT-TV (FOX) in the Norfolk, Virginia DMA; WNAC-TV (FOX) and WPRI-TV (CBS) in the Providence, Rhode Island DMA; WWLP-TV (NBC) in the Springfield, Massachusetts DMA, and WTNH-TV (ABC) and WCTX-TV (MyNetworkTV) in the Hartford - New Haven, Connecticut DMA."
These carriage negotiations between broadcasters and cable companies have gotten a bit rough lately (witness the annual spat between Comcast and Sinclair), so it's good to see some of these guys actually working out terms for the benefit of viewers in these markets.
