[edit] Clarification?
The opening paragraph states: "It is the only network television station to exclusively cover the state of New Hampshire, as other networks are provided by out of state channels." I don't know what this is supposed to mean. Does "exclusively cover" mean that it covers only the state of New Hampshire, or that it is the only station that ever has exclusive coverage within New Hampshire? Does "other networks" mean networks other than ABC, and if so, what bearing does this have on exclusively covering New Hampshire? Better wording would help, or perhaps the deletion of this sentence if no one can fix it. GMcGath 14:06, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
- It should go. It's too confusing -- and to explain why would confused me even more, so I won't even do that. --WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 14:29, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
I dunno, I'm new. Wikipedia is somehow improved by eliminating any reference to a network TV station monopolizing TV in New Hampshire, the state that picks the presidents? Aren't they protected from competition by the Federal Communication Commission? CitizenDaveS 01:17, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
I was going to post this improved and lightened up two paragraph item below. Constructive criticism please?---------------- CitizenDaveS 01:17, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
However, WMUR is now being accused by the Free Market News Network of bias for denying coverage of substantial antiwar candidates for president, specifically Ron Paul while providing detailed coverage of pro-Iraq war candidates for president, such as John McCain.
Since WMUR "is the only major network affiliate and local news source in the state" of New Hampshire, it provides a disproportionately high percentage of candidate information to the super-voters of New Hampshire. In 1988, then-Governor John H. Sununu said, "The people of Iowa pick corn, the people of New Hampshire pick presidents." It is argued that a lack of network competition plus the importance of the New Hampshire primaryin the selection of presidential candidates gives WMUR unmatched and unprecedented control over the American free election system.
[edit] NH TV Affiliates?
Should we remove the NH TV Affliates in the article? I think there are some of those information already in the respected articles. Steven312 00:31, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Only station to cover entire state?
The statement, "This distinguishes WMUR as being the only commercial television station in the country to completely cover an entire state," is clearly wrong. The Providence, RI commercial stations completely cover Rhode Island (by virtue of the state's small size). I am removing the statement from the article.

- The FCC site lookup shows the station as 6500 watts post-transition. Either this is a bad joke, or WMUR won't be serving "the entire state" for long. --99.245.244.176 (talk) 02:36, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Tuesday's With Morrie Movie Fact
In the Film adaptation of Tuesday's With Morrie WMUR appears to be the main logo used in a fictional channel 9 in Detroit from all of the interviews that Mitch does. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.180.181.72 (talk) 22:59, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
