roamer1 sticking it out at you join:2001-03-24 Atlanta, GA clubs: 1 edit	reply to clickie Re: Silliness. said by clickie : You are wrong. Local stations are carried free under must-carry rules. Local stations can elect must-carry or can demand payment from cable companies (aka retransmission consent.) In general, most major network affiliates take the latter option but some take the former; PBS stations and religious stations are always must-carry.

Nuts join:2006-04-27 Forest, OH	reply to clickie Your right. I was confusing local stations with ones from other cities that want to be carried in other areas. Channel 10 in columbus, is carried by TW in areas that they can not be gotten via an antenna.

clickie join:2005-05-22 Monroe, MI	reply to Nuts You are wrong. Local stations are carried free under must-carry rules. No money trades hands for the OTA signal. If the local station wants to broadcast another channel (like a subchannel of the HD signal), then that's a separate negotiation that may require payment to the cable operator.
