In an on-going case concerning DirecTV's non-carriage of television station, WWDP-TV, the FCC has approved the station's filing and has ordered DirecTV to carry WWDP in the Boston designated market area (DMA) upon the station's provision of a sufficient signal to a DirecTV local receive facility (LRF).
DirecTV had denied Norwell Television's must-carry request for the Norwell, Mass station due to the broadcaster's failure to provide a quality signal to the LRF in Medford, Mass. Several weeks later, WWDP discovered that the owner of the LRF in Medford was declaring bankruptcy. This in turn forced the station to search for a new DirecTV LRF (later finding one in Somerville, Mass.).
