| It's Obvious...
It's obvious that the FCC wants to kill off local broadcasters, for whatever reason.
Not that I think local TV is worth saving at this point with the constant staple of "you're going to die if you don't tune-in at 11", the truth is that free local over the air broadcasts are still what bunch of people can afford.
The transition to digital has cost the stations a lot of money all so the FCC can auction off their previous channels. Then, once they've gone and built out new facilities, the FCC proposes that the stations who are not within the city of license pack it all up and build new ones again. Ridiculous.
Not well thought out, or it underscores an ulterior motive. And with today's FCC, I'm betting on the latter. |
