Bright House is not going to turn off WKMG unless they force them to. BHN has no problem continuing to air the channel the way it is.
I'm wondering how much WKMG is asking for his channel monthly per subscriber, $0.05, $0.25, $.50, $1.00 or more?
Can any one know the answer?

Have Bright House in the vacation home we are renting in FL right now. "The love of money is the root of all evil." I guess WKMG is evil.
They only want $100K/year!!!I'm wondering how much WKMG is asking for his channel monthly per subscriber, $0.05, $0.25, $.50, $1.00 or more?

Hell, somebody give me a camera, and I could probably film a newscast from my parent's basement that would be more entertaining then half the crap WKMG puts on the air.... does Brighthouse want to pay me $100,000 a year too?
don't quote me on this but its my understanding that more and more local stations are asking for compensation when there contracts are up. i'm relatively sure i'm reading this more and more all the time.
That is true. And its scary
wow WKMG is desperate I was at the mall today they had a guy Darren Caudle running around trying to get people on their side and passing out his card. Im gonna email him and see what his response is.

Let's see...the over the air people want me to pay (collected by the cable company) to receive their programming when it arrives over the cable even though it is free (paid for by their advertisers) over the air. Huh?
And as I said before, the cable delivery is EXTENDING THEIR REACH at no cost to them. And these "extra" viewers enable them to charge higher advertising rates. I wonder if BHN shouldn't be charging the OTA stations to deliver their signal to cable customers? Let them survive on their OTA signal. See how they like that.
Which brings up a question: does cable pay to carry the non_major_network programming, or do those sources pay to be on the cable?

the point is you're already paying to receive WKMG through brighthouse, try getting brighthouse to give you all those local channels the are retransmitting without out paying the broadcasters to you for free, you can't. You don't think the price of your cable bill simply adds up to the price all the channels charge brighthouse for do you? WKMG wants 1 penny for everysubscriber, yet if brighthouse were to in turn raise your cable bill a dollar, you'd say it's all WKMG's fault right?
I didn't follow all that at all. I'm sure I am "paying to receive WKMG through brighthouse," but only in the sense that I am paying to receive anything and everything on the cable. They have 'plant' to pay for, and O&M, and profit of course. One must consider those to be allocated to everything they carry. Yes, I pay for it. I pay for everything viewable on my cable.
Beyond that, I don't see how you can say I am already paying for it. There is no way to ascribe a specific cost to any channel in a package, unless it is a single channel in the priced package. Even in those cases, that added price is "on top of" other charges--and a portion of those other charges apply to the add-on as well.
Also, there are times that channels have been added and cable charges did not go up. Am I getting those for free? Of course not.

Your fee for the local service (20$/month) for basic which gives you all the locals and a few extra is not for the channels. Its for the service. Its so you can see those channels in crystal clear quality. No matter how far you are away from the towers. Its so you can have these on all the tvs in your house without having to put a big ugly antenna on your house. Your not paying to watch WKMG your paying to get the signal sent to your house via cable and not off air.
I highly doubt their is people who buy BHN just for WKMG. And if they do they are idiots. An antenna would be cheaper. People buy Bright House becasue they can get much more. We have only about 30k or less customers on our "basic" plan which is only the locals and a couple other channels (about 20 channels) Most of those are retirees or just people with limited income. Some are satellite customers who want the locals BHN offers (a few more then some sat companies) The vast majority of BHNs 1million customers in the CFL area have The standard or above, and more and more are going digital. WKMG is but a blip on the map. When WKMG loses cable you will see their ad rates drop like a rock. Why? Because BHN brought WKMG more viewers which means they can charge more. The amount of people that will leave BHN in protest, vs the amount WKMG will lose in ad dollars will hurt WKMG far more then BHN. And on WKMGs website they even mention how BHN is owned by some huge company, and they got plenty of money. News flash WKMG is owned by a huge company to..
My only gripe with this is not that WKMG wants some money. They are a business its their right to ask for it. But that they are so blatantly lieing about the situation to its viewers, and have yet to answer any of the lies in my numerous emails to them,.

BHN has it a website about it Bright House Networks fights to keep WKMG TV
I will go through it and see if I see any lies as well like WKMG has.

So far other then their FAQ being repetitive I have not found any lies. If you find any let me know
I just keep sending WKMG nasty email letters. They should look at the Brighthouse-FSN thing. Brighthouse is willing to put up a pretty good fight, so unless WKMG is REALLY willing to risk half their viewers.....
has to be a bluff.
