Direct TV and Sunbeam Television are engaged in an economic conflict over the fees that Direct TV should pay to Sunbeam for the rights to carry WHDH TV Channel 7 and WLVI Channel 56.

Whatever the outcome, the losers are local viewers who receive Direct TV.

On February 5 NBC will broadcast the Superbowl. WHDH is the local NBC broadcast outlet.

If this dispute is not settled by then, Direct TV subscribers will not receive a broadcast of the Superbowl.

Andy Warhol observed, “In the future everyone will be famous for fifteen minutes.”

With relentless inevitability this prediction has now come true for our top civil servant.

Southbridge Chief of Police Daniel Charette is now starring in a series of public service announcements on behalf of the Central Mass Chiefs of Police Association. The spots have been produced and aired by Charter Cable TV, Channel 3.

Among the topics addressed by the Chief are the dangers of texting while driving and the risks posed by driving in snow.
