Just what's the big idea behind CN8's expansion?
Article Abstract:
CN8, the regional TV channel carried only on Comcast Corp. cable systems makes a huge growth spurt in May 2003, going live on cable systems that serve 2.2 million homes from Maine to Connecticut, many of which Comcast absorbed in its acquisition of AT&T Broadband. Breaking out beyond the Mid-Atlantic region for the first time, CN8's mix of public affairs and local sports would extend to a total of 6.2 million homes.
