MY TWO CENTS WITH PETER J. WIGGINS
You all know that the Cable System Lineup in Norton and surrounding towns is loaded with all sorts of different channels, but I was at the Norton Public Library this evening and looked up something interesting in the Norton Mirror from Friday March 19th, 1993. I found out that TCI Cablevision of New England, which was the cable provider for Norton at the time, was changing the lineup beginning April 1st, 1993. The cable lineup back then was much different than it is right now with Xfinity and Verizon having lots of sports channels and networks. Here is the TCI Cablevision cable lineup for Norton effective April 1, 1993:
