OK everyone-
Take FreeDBS with a grain of salt. A year ago they had on their site that they were in negotiations with WS TV. I had been in corrospondence with WS TV at that time, and according to the CEO, FreeDBS had never been in contact with them and that there was never any negotiations going on. Victor Ives at my request did check into FreeDBS, but he stated to me in an email that their attempts to contact FreeDBS for information or a business plan was never answered.
White Springs TV has stated to me that they do not understand FreeDBS's business plan but would be willing to discuss things if they would ever respond to their inquests.
Now for me, any Organization falsely reporting "Pending Negotiations" with another Company that they have never been in contact with cry's WOLF in capitol letters! However if they are truly undergoing a transformation, in which a legitimate organization is taking over, then it is possible to take them seriously, only time will tell.
I have further prove of false statements made by FreeDBS, in which I saved the emails of corrospondance. But some of these emails I must keep confidential or risk losing the trust of the Companies I deal with. I have kept quiet until now hoping that FreeDBS would prove themselves, and I have contacted them on a several occasions confronting them with the facts I have. But they gave me a song and dance and run around concerning the facts, and finally stopped replying to my emails. Does this type of behavior sound familiar????
To a few of the members of this site I have already supplied you the copies of several email corrospondance's concerning this matter so you know what I am talking about. For the rest, we can only hope that a legit organization has taken over this endeavor and prospects may improve.
Had to add this bit; To prove my point, go ahead and email FreeDBS concerning this, then email WS TV, you will find that what I have stated is true. The only way they can prove me wrong is if they had eventually responded to WS TV since my last comunications with Victor Ives.
One more thing here, we lost a great FTA station when WS TV left 129W!
