CONWAY — It may be awhile before cable subscribers get an ABC affiliate in this area, and in the interim they can settle in to enjoy the Hallmark Movie Channel which will replace WMUR (Channel 9) and WMTW (Channel 8) until a contract dispute between Hearst TV and Time Warner Cable is resolved.
Time Warner and Hearst Television have been at a stalemate over a new deal for carrying WMUR and WMTW, the two ABC affiliates serving this area, and other Hearst Television stations across the country. The carriage agreement expired at 11:59 pm on Monday, and TW/Insight subscribers lost channels 8 and 9 after midnight.
