I have FAR less sympathy for broadcasters pulling their channels off MVPDs and running ads telling MVPD subscribers to call and scream at the underpaid customer service person who answers until the MVPD caves into it

Borderline extortion and the MVPD user is stuck paying this shit

Retrans revenues are now larger than ad sales

Breyer was the lone dissenter in FCC v NextWave. Fuck him

Why do you dismiss ATSC 3.0 as unimportant? I think not only net neutrality needs to be worried about, we also need to make sure we meet or exceed the technical progress of the Europeans

Nah the users get fucking played

Ever see one of those stupid ads urging you to call your cable co because “they’re” gonna drop an antenna station from their lineup? It’s weaponizing your hatred for the company for the antenna station’s benefit, and it unfortunately works

It’s also the very reason you probably have a $15 to $25 line item on a cable bill reading “broadcast TV fee”

Doesn’t that way of passing aggravate some lawyers? If so, nice
