Re: the C's new TV contract

["Dorine" <norine@sover.net>]

I did it all - I wrote Channel 68, not response.  I called the Celtics, day
rates, long distance.  I told them about the thousands of fans who won't be
able to get those games and either they should not sign with WABU or they
should insist that station go on satellite.  She told me I should talk to my
cable company and I told her there are many thousands of people who do not
get cable, which is why we have dishes.  She was very nice, really, and
finally asked if she could call me back, but of course she never did.
Bummer.
