Removal of cable news is regrettable

4 years ago

To the editor:

More evidence that we in Aroostook County are the “other Maine,” forgotten until needed.

Spectrum, as David DeMerchant of Caribou pointed out in a recent editorial, has put us further into the dark as to what is happening with news and weather-related events in the rest of the state of Maine, especially on the weekends.  We are getting less and yet my bill increased by $4 plus this past month.

[The company’s] corporate headquarters is located in Connecticut and I think we, or this publication, should get some answers as to why we no longer receive the Channel 2 news out of Bangor/Portland.  

Spectrum’s address is 400 Atlantic St., Stamford, Connecticut 06901, and the phone number is 602-748-8348.
