[opendtv] Re: NBC's HD Strategy becomes a bit clearer

While I'm sure there is now some grand strategy, keep in mind this is 
just NBC Uni evolving the Bravo HD+ channel they inherited when they 
bought Bravo. I would think they're far more worried about getting 
carriage for NBC Weather Plus.

Why does NBC not own KNSD? They list it as an O&O.
