SHAHEEN APPLAUDS DECISION TO BRING WMUR TO NORTH COUNTRY

(Washington, D.C.) – A decision by DISH Network to allow North Country subscribers access to broadcasts by WMUR-TV is a victory for consumers, said Senator Jeanne Shaheen.  Her reaction is below.

“I am pleased that DISH Network has begun transmitting the signal for local ABC affiliate, WMUR. Our office has heard repeatedly from North Country residents who were denied access to the valuable local news, weather and commentary offered by WMUR. I am happy to let them know that they finally have the access they requested.

Our office was pleased to work with DISH network and community leaders to finally expand local programming in the North Country.  I thank everyone for their hard work on behalf of New Hampshire’s residents.”

DISH Network began broadcasting the WMUR-TV signal on Thursday.
