We should dispense with maps and DMA’s and all the accompanying nonsense like the illusion they’re protecting local advertisers because if they really cared about these advertisers, they would be paying re-transmitters to carry their signal, not the other way around.

If I want to view all the NYC locals in HD, I should be able to purchase them. In summary, I should be able to view as many locals from around the country as my wallet can afford.
