Western Pacific Broadcast asked the FCC Media Bureau...

Western Pacific Broadcast asked the FCC Media Bureau for extra time to reply to Blue Ridge Cable’s opposition to Western Pacific’s carriage petition. Western Pacific would like to file comments no later than June 4, it said in a filing in docket 12-365 (http://bit.ly/SxhTHm). Western Pacific petitioned the FCC to require Blue Ridge to carry WACP-TV Atlantic City, New Jersey, on its cable system within the Philadelphia area. Blue Ridge opposed the petition last year and claimed that WACP’s signal quality isn’t good (http://bit.ly/RkVhZR). The companies are measuring the WACP signal strength at one of Blue Ridge’s headends, Western Pacific said. The tests were expected to be completed last month, but WACP staff resources were dedicated to the development and analysis on bureau-mandated joint tests of the WACP signal at another cable operator’s headend, it said.
