A reminder...

ABC 33/40 is simulcasting WWL-TV in New Orleans on our digital signals 33.2 and 40.2 We are going this as a service to the thousands of evacuees here in Alabama, giving them a chance to watch coverage of this horrible tragedy from their local station. WWL-TV is on the air from a Louisiana Public Broadcasting studio in Baton Rouge, and has been providing commercial free coverage all week, and will continue to do so until further notice.

Anyone with a digital TV can receive WWL-TV on 33.2 or 40.2. We are thankful for two cable systems who immediately picked up this feed when we announced it:

Bright House Cable (Birmingham) Channel 632
Comcast Cable (Tuscaloosa) Channel 99

We welcome any other cable system within our coverage to pick up this feed as well since we have evacuees statewide.

Large screen digital televisions have been set up at many shelters allowing our friends from Mississippi and Louisiana to watch WWL-TV live....

Looks as if Charter is not going to do this. I dont know if there is any cost involved for the cable companies doing this but it should't matter and Charter could certainly afford it. Doesn't surprise me one bit about Charter. I see their public service stinks just like their cable service.

I agree with everyone here, we have charter and they do have SORRY SERVICE. We had a tree fall on the main line on Monday night and took the cable line down, we called along with the other people on this street to let them know the line was down this started on Tuesday we just got the cable back today. They did not know the line was down untill Thursday, they say it will be 24 hrs when you call them before they will come out that is a lie and a big one. I don't think they care about anything but making money charter has got sorry service.
