The problem was with Comcast and Comcast brought over another modulator. Arthur said the modulator'is the equipment owned by Comcast.- Arthur said Comcast is going to service the modulator when school year ends. Arthur said normal school broadcasts are done at Quashnet and they have a modulator so school has 2 modulators—one at the High School and one at Quashnet. According to Arthur,the portable broadcaster does not have a modulator bui4t into it.
