Cable customers could lose WCSC
Subscribers to Almega Cable, which serves St. George, will be without cable access to WCSC-TV unless the cable company and the Charleston broadcaster's parent company can come to an agreement.
Raycom Media and Almega had not come to terms as of Tuesday, leading to expectations that WCSC would be removed from Almega's offering as of midnight Wednesday.
Officials at WCSC said subscribers still could gain access to the station's programming with satellite services or an antenna.
