UPN 38 would air the away games as they had always done in the past (until 
the C's went to Channel 68 last year) and FOXS-NE would air the home games 
just as they always have in the past.

That's GREAT news for C-band satellite subscribers because UPN 38 is still 
available with an analog signal on C-band; unlike FOXS-NE which went to a 
digital signal on March 31st. The only way to receive their signal (outside 
of cable or within the local Boston area) is via DirecTV as even the new 
C-band General Instruments 4-DTV digital receiver is not capable of 
deciphering their digital signal .
