Oh I completely agree. The broadcasters rolled over the first time because they actually got a real benefit from it. Doubling or tripling the number of stations you own plus the added High Def? Sure, that's a win for the broadcasters. It wasn't without a lot of pain, but there was a significant upside. This time I don't see nearly as much upside and just as much downside. And as you pointed out in the comment under the article, the public was none too pleased with this nonsense the first time either. Yes there was significant upside for them too, but they too had a downside. Trying to sell them this time is just going to be crazy. And that's not to mention that the number of OTA TV watchers is going up. Cable/Satellite is still way dominant, but the trend is reversing. Oh, and OTA looks better too. |

OTA does look better, significantly. When I saw KSL on a high def TV in Salt Lake, I never realized how much of a difference there is. Do they really expect everyone who just bought a new TV to go out and buy a new one? What about converter boxes. How about another coupon program, yeesh.
