T-Mobile To Help WWOR With Repack Move
WWOR New York will repack in early 2018, more than a year sooner than the originally proposed FCC deadline of August 2019, and will do it for much less.
WWOR My9 will be televising 21 Yankees games over the new season. This marks the seventh consecutive year that the station has aired the team’s contests.
The FCC is investigating News Corp.’s Fox to determine if the company misled the regulatory agency with regards to the operations of its WWOR in Seacaucus, N.J.
