Cable companies pay the local network stations for the rights to carry their content.
Uh, no. They are required to carry local stations, and the TV station can't charge for that.

 In 2005 Abilene TX went through the whole "we are a local station and we want money from COX cable" disaster. Our NBC station wanted money from the cable company and until they got it their station was not on cable. They finally after months of propaganda from both sides are back on the cable system.
