   Channel 68's transmitter was damaged in the electrical fire in the Pru
   a few weeks ago.  They're off the air until repairs are made.  Though
   I don't understand why their cable broadcasts are out, too...

Cable companies pick up the "air" channels the same way you do: off
the air with an antenna.  No broadcast, no cable.  There is no magic
wire from each broadcast station to each town's cable company.
