Just dropped HBO and my locals - saving over twenty bucks --- there you go charlie ---- how's that for a price correction?

From the web page of the NAB " The record in this proceeding fully demonstrates that the Commission’s rulesgoverning retransmission consent and program exclusivity remain vital to fostering the Commission’s goals of competition in the video programming marketplace and broadcast localism...

LOL - knew it would kill you if you didn't have the last word -- bit competitive for a loser aren't ya?

What kind of perv are you -- guess it threatens your manhood it you don't have the last word. Now your just boring me --- go back to joe mccarthy --- you want to never have progress --- geez, guess your wife must hate talking to you at dinner, not everyone is a know it all like you:)LOL but then...

Just as I assumed it would happen - you simply have no vision or capacity to understand very simple premises. So, your not interested in the "consumer" hmmm -- guess you forgot the type of economic system that we have in the US. Without the end user -- or consumer -- there would be no media -...

Balance All interests??? -hmmmm don't guess you include me in -- all. As for your abitrary line from Neilson based on the fact that most people watch Lexington program -- talk about a catch 22 ---- what damn choice do we have??? None -- no other option -- hell, your proving my point. I notice...

I apologize, your no DA -- simply a fool. btw --- can you tell me why i am supposed to sit on my arse and watch a local channel from a city that I don't do business in -- when there is a closer city that I do spend money in. No you can't -- reason is because of ac neilson --- that has nothing to...

Your wrong again, who said anything about siezing property????? Proves your a DA. I have stated repeatedly i will pay -- simply create the mechanism where i can pay --- Government can do this -- remember -- public airwaves. You do seem to be a bit anal retentive also.

You really are a DA. It is obvious that you ignored my radio analogy -- and for good reason ---- it would destroy your sacred NAB and locals. No prob. I will just keep working away at righting a wrong -- fact of the matter is -- the system is broken -- all you can do is defend it -- your not...

I really don't see how you can't understand the king's English --- I DON'T GIVE A PEPPER DAMN ABOUT THE NETWORKS -- and for some reason you keep bringing up the isue of network towers/antenna ---- let me make this clear -- there is no antenna on God's green earth that will pick up an over the...

"living in a world where money is to be made" -- fine, I am willing to pay for both the networks -- and yes, the locals that are closest too me -- but according to you -- I can't. I have to live with a pre-determined arbitrary line established by ac neilson. But fine, just as long as "your"...

Like I said, your living in the 1950's. Worried about your local content -- fine keep it - now let me access the networks. face it, you must be a card carrying member of the NAB. And btw, congress seizes property all the time. you simply don't want some people to access locals - for your own...

As for "Anyone who want to receive the signal over the air is free to do so" -- that simply is not true -- I cannot recieve it over the air free --- I live too far away -- what about equal protection under the law?? Or do you just quote copyright laws???

Like I said, you obviously don't understand the concept that the law is a growing entity -- it changes. And this is one area where it should change -- your stuck back in the 1950's obviously.

Hardly foolhardy, just because you choose to ignore the basic precept that the airwaves belong to the public does not validate your argument.

Sorry, but don't buy your argument about "editorial control". Locals operate on public airwaves - the public owns them. Locals offer thier programming - FREE OF CHARGE - to those with an antenna. The problem that occurs is that antenna's are limited due to the curvature of the earth. But with...

My lucky day! Bronston, Kentucky USA

I understand completely what AC Nielsen does and how it does it. My arguement is that the governement, through it's regulatory process has in the FCC restricted satellite companies from offering multiple locals. DMA's simply are the boundaries that the FEDS are utilizing. It all boils down to...

Exactly, the NAB (national association of broadcasters) simply have congress in their pocket. Big money in all this and the broadcasters have figured out a way to stop free enterprise. By controlling the DMA's (designated Market Area's) the tv stations establish their advertising rate cards. In...

What some of you fail to realize is that not everyone can use an antenna. I live two hours from lexington, two hours from louisville, two hours from knoxville and two hours from nashville -- and in a mountainous area. I wish I could throw up an antenna. But what grates my butt is the government...

As we hear the ring of bells and the hoofbeats of reindeer we again welcome the holiday season. And with that this year will be an explosion of HDTV sales. To Dish's credit -- they have focused quite a bit on HD. But with their VIP622 they seem to have forgotten the small issue of NATIVE...
