But in '93, when I visited I was surprised when I found out that the system they had scrambled Nick. It was probably a holdover from a prior era like in the previous system that ran the area had an agreement to scramble Nick. I did some research.I found out that a small independent cable system ran Jamesport. It was called Riverhead Communications. Maybe they had a disagreement with Nick being on basic cable and wanted it on premium. Eventually that system was acquired by now defunct Cablevision. I don't think that that company ran that area of Long Island at that time since in 1993 the system carried now defunct Long Island News 1 (not to be confused with the channel on Verizon Fios that has the same name) & there is no way that the provider would carry that channel & News 12 Long Island that launched in 1986.
