Time Warner Cable’s Hawaii operations need not carry Hawaii Catholic TV’s KUPU Waimanalo in any of TWC’s five systems in the Honolulu market other than the one on the island of Oahu, said the operator. The Honolulu designated market area covers all of the Hawaiian islands. “KUPU cannot deliver a good quality signal to four of those systems.” The station can’t reach the Big Island, Kauai and Maui with a good-quality signal, the operator said in a December filing in docket 13-277 opposing Hawaii Catholic’s must-carry FCC complaint (http://bit.ly/1ilRGRe). Hawaii Gov. Neil Abercrombie, a Democrat, backed the complaint, in a new filing (CD April 8 p22). Time Warner Cable had no comment Tuesday.
