How about Tuftonboro? Is it town-by-town?

Leslie Gaydos (NECN) stated this morning while reporting on the story, that this was an extension through 2014, so it sounds like it just may be temporary.

[Mr. Prop-B-Gone]

Just wanted to thank everyone who helped keep NECN on Time Warner! All the officials I talked to over the past week thought it was a lost cause, but with all the attention we were able to bring to the issue, we were able to change their minds.

Special thanks to Carter Terenzini, and all the Moultonborough town officials who stepped up and wrote strong letters to Time Warner, and to Senator Kelly Ayotte, who also sent them a letter.

But, in the end, it was all of us who were able to change it.

Thank you to winnipesaukee.com for providing the Forum to get this out to everyone, and thank you to Time Warner for listening!

Merry Christmas everyone!

(NECN) - There's good news Friday night for New England Cable News viewers in Maine, parts of New Hampshire and in the Berkshires.

As we've been reporting, Time Warner Cable was planning to stop carrying NECN at the end of the year.

Friday, Time Warner Cable says it has reconsidered its decision and will keep NECN on the channel line-up into 2014, which means there will be no disruption of service.

A group of congressional leaders from New England, including Mass. Senators Ed Markey and Elizabeth Warren, Maine Senators Susan Collins and Angus King and Maine Rep. Chellie Pingree, became involved and are applauding Time Warner Cable's decision.

In a statement released Friday, NECN's Senior Vice President and General Manager Mike St. Peter says "We appreciate that the residents of Maine and New England view NECN as a critical service. We are thrilled Time Warner heard their customers' voices and will continue to carry NECN. We remain committed to quality programming and our partnership with Time Warner."

NECN is owned by NBC Universal, which is part of the Comcast Corporation.
