Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ-TV Moves to Channel 20
VALDOSTA - Mediacom Cable subscribers should reset their Tivo’s
on April 1 when Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ-TV skips down the dial from channel 11 to
channel 20.
The repositioning will allow Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ-TV to maintain its television
presence in more than 28,000 households in the Valdosta viewing
area. It will also allow Mediacom to comply with an FCC must-carry
mandate for a new network affiliate, which will assume the Channel
11 position.
“We are excited to maintain our relationship with Mediacom, which
we’ve enjoyed for several decades,” said Professor Frank Barnas,
the Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ Mass Media area head. “Mediacom was under FCC pressure to
reposition our channel, but graciously kept our programming within
reach of its cable subscribers.
Barnas added that the move keeps Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ-TV on the lower-tier of
channels, which are the stations beneath Channel 26. Research shows
these channels are the most-watched by cable viewers, so we’re very
happy that Mediacom found a way to keep Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ-TV at the forefront of
viewers’ choices.
Viewers will see no change in Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ-TV programming, as it will
continue to provide non-commercial, educational programming to
households in South Georgia. These shows include “More at Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ with
President Patrick J. Scloss,” Blazer sports, the “Coach David Dean
Show,” Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ-TV News, “Deutsche Welle,” “Classic Arts Showcase,”
“Sundays at the Symphony” and LinkTV.
