With the Networks no longer paying affiliates to run programming, and in
fact the affiliates are having to pay the networks, the next logical step
was to have retrans consent play a larger and larger role.
Which is why I don't get my panties all in a bunch over multicast must
carry. Include it in your retrans consent agreement.
