There's a good reason that the broadcast audience has been characterized

however, as the article points out, this is a one time expense.
Only Craig can turn this into a bad thing. A one-time expense only?
Wow. That's not for me. I much prefer paying subscription fees. What
would the neighbors think?
This is not a bad thing Bert, just a reflection of realities.
Free OTA TV does have a well defined audience - but it is YOU who are
the anomaly in the FOTA demographics.
It's not so much what the neighbors think, but what they watch.
John Shutt nailed it.
What is more interesting is how sub channels are being used to serve
these minority audiences - this used to be the audience served by the
LPTV stations.
Not here.
The article was about the Northern Mexico suburbs (aka Southern
California), not Washington D.C.
The fact that this is not happening around DC should tell you
something about the economics of our Nation's capital. Other than
inside the District, average incomes are quite high and Cable/DBS
penetration even in the blighted areas is quite high (>75%).
