OOPS. Wanted to say They are eager for ASTC3. I am not the least bit interested in 3.

The ATSC's NextGen Broadcast Conference took place this week. Read about some of the opinions presented. Eager for ATSC 3. https://www.tvtechnology.com/news/1-0-sunset-bps-and-nextgen-broadcasts-potential-dominate-atsc-meeting

Looks like the House approved a funding cut for public broadcasting yesterday. The bill will move on to the Senate. I fear this bill approval could darken quite a few stations. I was employed by a local PBS/NPR station and it was always a battle to raise funding. Have to see what the future brings.

Here's some more of the nuts and bolts of the split. Not that simple. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/warner-bros-split-leaves-bondholders-140616171.html

Today, 4/4/25, my local PBS station is airing Austin City Limits Celebrates 50 Years, 9 to 11 eastern. A great show with a wide varity of music, leaning towards country. I always thought there audio was spot on. Very good production wise.

Just read this. It's over my head and my TV doesn't support it but maybe good news for some of you. https://www.engadget.com/entertainment/streaming/netflix-will-stream-shows-and-movies-in-hdr10-on-supported-devices-222134243.html

In my broadcasting days sun outages did not occur twice a day.

Looks like Disney is working on ABC. More to come? https://finance.yahoo.com/news/disney-cuts-6-abc-network-035622671.html

On my street there are two fibers offered, Frontier and Gonetspeed.

Seems to me with $1.87 billion in profits for 2024 they could have held out a little longer.

Looks like Warner Brothers is splitting linear and streaming. https://www.cnbc.com/2024/12/12/wbd-announces-restructuring-into-linear-streaming-units.html

Is it possible you will get the station based on your Amazon record of location?

I have to say over the many years they have been pretty good when I compare them with comments in my area about other companies. Technically very good, and reliable. Only bad comment is they really can't do phones in all of their areas. Gremlins get into the phone area of the spectrum they use...

I find this interesting because they will carry local stations. It says 150 stations, which I will guess hits a lot of the country. https://variety.com/2024/tv/news/pbs-local-stations-kids-drama-documentary-fast-channels-amazon-prime-video-1236210852/

Cox cable

I am currently testing Hulu live based on their $60 per month offer, for three months. So far pretty good. I'll be in the next quarter report.

My antenna is in my attic attached to a rafter. Zero problems from my air handler.

Looks like Apple+ will be on Prime soon for $9.99 per month. https://tvline.com/news/apple-tv-plus-amazon-deal-subscription-add-on-prime-video-1235348466/

It's sad because dweber would probably be very happy to see the game, even at a lessor quality. Most teams are chasing dollars but not every fan can pursue their team all over the streaming platform.

Something to consider...

I finally was able to make a switch from cable (Cox) to fiber. There are two fiber companies on my street, Frontier and Gonetspeed. I tried Frontier first because they were my old wired phone company. When I called it was like talking to Cox. Took awhile to get to the right person. Explained I...

This sounds like a big deal. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/verizon-buy-rival-frontier-communications-100550995.html
