Based in Salisbury, Md., WBOC was dropped by cable operator Breezeline in a southwest section of the Delmarva Peninsula – an area considered outside WBOC’s home market – ending a 15-year relationship that moved along mostly without incident. “We were very surprised because we serve that area,” said Craig Jahelka, president of Draper Media, owner of WBOC. “We cover news here every day.” Breezeline’s carriage decision cost WBOC access to about 9,400 cable subscribers. Viewers have been calling the station and using email and social media to express their dissatisfaction.
