  Providence | PopMatters Television Review
hen Providence made its debut in early 1999, it was dismissed by television critics as the most phony, shamelessly manipulative show to appear in years.
On every episode of Providence, Syd is either presented with a sickness to cure or a potential new love interest, and often the two complications in her life coincide.
Providence isn't a concept, it's an experience, right from the opening overhead shots of the city, its bridges and streets.

  Providence (TV series) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Providence was an NBC television series starring Melina Kanakaredes.
The show revolved around Dr. Sydney Hansen (played by Kanakaredes), who wished to leave her glamorous job in Beverly Hills as a plastic surgeon to rich people, so she could go back to her hometown of Providence, Rhode Island and be with her family.
NBC called this Providence's "winter finale," fully expecting to bring it back in the spring or autumn of 2003, but these plans were eventually scrapped when some cast members, including Kanakaredes, opted out of producing a sixth season.

While it may be out of habit (remember, WJAR did have a television monopoly in Providence for the first several years it was on the air), it might also be due to the quality of the station's newscasts--WJAR usually wins the lion's share of awards given out to Providence television newscasts.

Cox states that Norwell and Providence are located in different states, represented by different local officials, Congressional representatives and Senators, and assigned to different economic and demographic markets by such entities as Nielsen (DMAs), Arbitron (radio markets), Rand McNally (Basic Trading Areas), and the U.S. Office of Management and Budget (Metropolitan Statistical Areas).
Cox points out that the concern for the integrity of television markets was evident in the Bureau's decision in Agape Church, Inc., where the Bureau acknowledged that, despite Grade B or better service, "we have a countervailing factor to consider" when the petitioning station's signal "encroaches into the core or hub" of the adjacent market.
WWDP points out that this declaration did not expressly state that the petition was "warranted by existing law or a good faith argument for the extension, modification or reversal of existing law" because the signatory is not an attorney and he did not personally possess such knowledge.
