We are in the fight of our existance. Yesterday Time WArner cut us off
the air. When we began our quest to find support for us during the
city's franchise negotiations, Time Warner came out fighting and slammed
us with quite a few hoops to jump through. We successfully jumped
through all of them except for the million dollar broadcast liability
insurance. We only found one out of state insurer, hartford, who will
give us insurance for $5,000, but we cannot possibly afford that, so
they cut us off. This is Easter Week, and our churches have several
meaningful services that they want us to air this week, and it is
especially sad for those at home who cannot get to their churches. Does
anyone have an insurance source who is cheaper than $5,000? The company
has to be licensed in Texas.... Or can anyone give us a good reason for
why what they are asking for is unreasonable? I doubt they require
proof of insurance for other full service stations they are carrying,
but how can I find that out?

Wouldn't it be nice if this broadcasters viewers could receive using a
COFDM receiver at $35 in a convenience store? And they could diminish
their dependence on cable?
