  • Charter's cable systems. Pursuant to Section 76.106(a) of the Commission's rules, WNDS' syndicated programming carried on Charter's systems located within WNDS' predicted Grade B contour is exempt from deletion. However, according to the record, at the time of the petition, Charter deleted WNDS' duplicative syndicated programming throughout its entire Central Massachusetts system. Discussion WNDS asks the Commission to waive Section 76.101 so that Charter may carry its signal throughout the Worcester area free from blackout requirements. WNDS states that it seeks the waiver because Charter has claimed that it is unable to configure its system to delete the station's signal in only those communities not covered by the station's Grade B signal without incurring significant expense and virtually re-engineering the system.
