The next big battle

I didn't ban you from the thread just making predictions

They will never get that past. Look how many local stations and employees would lose their jobs, not to mention the vital service our local stations bring. How else would we get local news and events? Not to mention how many people can't afford cable or satelite. There are still some independent stations around. Ours used to be great but now subscribe to programming from WB or whatever that other brand of programming is.

Where did you see this? It don't make sense. Why would the feds spend billions on converter boxes so people can have OTA then attempt to turn it off? Of course, government and good sense seldom meet.

They are not doing away with local broadcasters, just the OVER THE AIR PART.
Now really, when was the last time you watched the locals over the air?
Its a lot more important that Todd and Buffy be able to download drinking apps
to their smart fones.
I mean, we gotta get our priorities straight.
AND IN THIS DAY AND AGE, ALL OF THAT BANDWIDTH FOR FREE?
Knew that couldnt last.:1

As for where I saw it, in two places, an AD on the local Fox affiliate(an expensive
ad) and a report on the WSJ newshour on the RADIO.
Remember radio?

Hmmm?
