People in Opposition to Comcast Cable – Part SixteenHarold B. Pritchett speaks to the Wilmington, Delaware Cable Commission. Based on principals of the First Amendment, Comcast Cable has elected to discontinue “live” community television programming in Wilmington, Delaware. With their franchise agreement soon to expire, Comcast Cable has chosen to threaten to shut-down “live” community television during the franchise renewal process. Wilmington residents are up in arms about the closing of cable channel 28 and 190 after thirty years of viewing. Channel 28 has played a major role in local community awareness and political diversity. Wilmington’s cable channel 28 was the stepping stone to the political support of current Vice President Joe Biden, who appeared on numerous local channel 28 television shows to sustain his career.
