Or are they trying to scare lawmakers to change the law so it will be an illegal service?

Look for a Sam Gordon comment coming soon.

NBC nightly news said NBCU was onboard last night ...

Of course NBC would be on board with it since they are OWNED BY THE CABLE COMPANY! (Comcast)

Which is just wrong that it was ever approved...

It would be funny to see the affiliates rise up against the networks and starting their own OTA networks.

Find it interesting right next to the ZERO TV household thread.

I will basically drop any network that drops its OTA feed. The networks feel they have compelling content, but mostly I am bored with it. I occassionally watch Bones, but this is the last season. Daughter watches Glee. Other than that, I wouldn't even notice FOX missing from the dial. CBS might be a bit trickier, but we survived loss of cable channels a full year ago. Just means getting more creative in finding compelling content.

I can count on both hands how many broadcast TV shows we watch in our house. The majority of them are on CBS.

Not sure this belongs in this area. If anything perhaps OTA since these are OTA stations-----though being received in a different manner.
