NH's WBIN-TV Drops 'The Cosby Show'

WBIN-TV, one of New Hampshire’s largest television stations, has decided to drop reruns of “The Cosby Show” from is afternoon lineup.

The decision comes after numerous women have come forward claiming that the beloved comedian drugged and raped them during the course of the last three decades. So far, Cosby, who has been interviewed on NPR and by the Associated Press in recent weeks, has refused to acknowledge or address the allegations although in the past, he has outright denied the claims.

In a statement, Gerry McGavick, the station’s general manager, said the station had decided to discontinue the broadcasting of the program “in light of Mr. Cosby’s refusal to appropriately address the serious allegations of sexual misconduct made against him.”

“The Cosby Show” had been airing at 3:30 p.m.

The station, which has news studios in Concord and broadcasts its signal on Channel 18 out of Derry, will replace the program with a “high-profile sitcom yet to be announced,” according to McGavick.
