Geez ... you lost sight of the trees. Bert knows of these things just how? Since he never has had cable? And, direct to cable networks (CW in particular) are NOT local programs. Once again, aside from ota television, just what are the OTHER sources of local television for people without satellite or cable? Nice to see you still trying to carry the water for Bert, since he is incapable of coherent positions himself.
