Yay!

Atlantic City's only news station, WMGM NBC4 http://nbc40.net/
is now available on DirecTV Channel 40!! I'm so thrilled about this! Now I can watch my area's local news instead of visiting my friend's house who have Comcast. Before WMGM NBC 4 was only available exclusively to cable customers on Ch 4.

But the downside is that DirecTV lists it as "PH 40" short for Philadelphia. I guess the Southern Jersey market is too small. But still, another kudos to DirecTV!
