TV Programming

07/31/2010

I would like to see the professional TV programming of the "NBC Nightly News" at a "SCHEDULED" time, not 5:35PM 6:10PM,or NOT show because of 411 re-runs. What would be even better is the have a NBC affiliate to show the "live" 6 hours delayed programming instead of the two weeks and one hour cable TV delay.

South Seas Broadcasting's Larry Fuss replies:  "We've been working on a way to get live NBC programming to Tutuila for years. We thought the fiber optic cable was going to make it possible, but the folks who control the cable are charging exhorbitant rates for service, so we had to pass. A new cable is scheduled for installation in the near future and perhaps  competition will bring the price down."
