I am wrong so infrequently that I can admit when I may be. 
At least so far Locast not only continues but is adding more cities as time goes on. Either the Networks have not been trying, it's till working through all the various courts/trials etc, or they can't find a way to win.

Locast Chief David Goodfriend Says Big 4 Broadcasters “Waited Too Long” To Sue
David Goodfriend, founder of controversial not-for-profit outfit Locast, said the parent companies of ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox "waited too long" to sue him over the alleged theft of their signals.

I think Goodfriend may be right, the networks didn't ask for a TRO because they knew they wouldn't get it after doing nothing so long. And now they're chasing their tails trying to come up with a way to either win or get out of this without creating a PR nightmare.I am wrong so infrequently that I can admit when I may be.

The networks filed the lawsuit last July. They had plenty of time to ask for a TRO if they thought they could get one.
Not any more... Retransmission fees make up about 40% of TV stations total revenue and is growing each year, while advertising revenue has been declining. Is anyone retransmitting radio station programming?
You got 2 of the big 3 but forgot my personal favorite "TuneIn Radio". Competition is good.
Iheartradio retransmits its own stations. They used to be Clear Channel Inc. They own their platform outright.
Ok, that's not quite the same thing as the TV retrans fees then since at worst it just means an accounting adjustment.
