SUDDENLINK REMOVES LOCAL COMMUNITY CHANNEL

  

Brenham cable TV provider Suddenlink has removed the local community channel from their lineup.  That channel has always carried the KWHI audio.  It was originally on channel 10 but was moved to channel 95 in recent years.   When KWHI spoke with Suddenlink Senior Vice President Patrick O’Connor last year, he stated that community channels were outdated and that people used the internet now for that information.  At that time he said that the channel would be removed in 2016 to provide bandwidth for other channels and increased internet speed.  Inquiries about the move need to be made to Suddenlink.
