Local TV dispute edges Quad Cities CBS feeds into Iowa City
The Gazette Iowa City backs WHBF-TV in a tense regulatory quarrel with KGAN-TV Cedar Rapids over Mediacom carrying two CBS affiliates. The issue arose after Mediacom added WHBF-TV to 13 systems during a contract clash with Sinclair last winter and was resolved Feb. 2. Mayor Ross Wilburn urged FCC approval to keep WHBF on the lineup, citing subscriber demand for Quad Cities news and sports.
