Re: Tech TV said by ToxicDrew:Hopefully Comcrap won't butcher NBC even further like they sabotaged the former Tech TV network. I can just see Brian Williams fired and replaced with a G4 channel clone type with the excuse to bring in a younger audience to NBC. The bigger thing to look out for is them pulling a Versus and makeing all but nbc OTA cable only.
also can they use must carry rules to say make others pay $20 per home for there OTA channel? |

Mullica Hill, NJ | the issue with the OTA channel is that NBC is a network. the Affiliates make separate deals in their locals. this is why Disney for example cant use ABC as one of its aces in the hole, the cable/sat really dont have to pay disney to carry ABC because they pay a local TV station to rebroadcast that station.

Yes they could use the must carry rule and charge another operators for NBC OTA. |

| Hmm I thought they couldn't charge if they're forced to carry an affiliate using must-carry? If so, how is that at all fair, I could start an affiliate and just tell the Cable guys I was charging $200.00 a household. |
