Congratulations to WFFT channel 55 for regaining the Fox network affiliation beginning in March. You will recall that WPTA/WISE/INC/Malara/Granite grabbed the Fox affiliation after WFFT's parent company could not come to terms with the Fox network at affiliation renewal time 18 months ago.
Once again, the Maven will be able to see the World Series and NFL games in true High Definition and without having to surf a couple of hundred channels on the Comcast spectrum to locate the current standard definition signal, or to suffer the over the air digital signal breakup resulting from WPTA/WISE/INC/Malara/Granite shoehorning the signal onto one of WISE 33's sub channels using duct tape, chewing gum and bailing wire.
While the Maven is totally happy with this turn of events, word is that some staff changes might occur on Butler Road as a result. A woman, purporting to be the wife of a WPTA/WISE/INC/Malara/Granite staffer, populated a local message board with the tearful tale of having to rejoin the labor force since her husband was probably going to lose his job. That's sad. However, in the Maven's opinion, the only person that should be fired is the imbecile responsible for playing a "NoNo" hair removal device infomercial in place of a Sunday NFL game at the beginning of this season. From that incident, and a few more, it's clear that WPTA/WISE/INC/Malara/Granite only siezed the Fox network in order to keep it away from other competitors. Let's see if WFFT does a better job presenting and representing the Fox content.
