Apparently, you completely missed this AGAIN.
CBS chose to ask for monetary compensation for retrans consent after
the 1992 Cable act was passed. This turned out to be a bad decision...
The rest of the broadcast networks demanded premium placement in the
extended basic bundle for NEW NETWORKS, rather than monetary
compensation.
And what do any of the words have to do with the issue? Local broadcasters do
not own the content, Craig. Local broadcasters are not required, to place TV
network content onto MVPD systems. The congloms can transmit this to the MVPDs
via satellite, from their home base, adjusted to time zones if need be, and the
MVPDs can insert whatever number of local ads as required.
You are incorrigible. The "pretend game" does not exist.
You are incredibly obstinate. In what I described above, tell me why the local
broadcasters are required, why they have to pretend they own the content, and
why the congloms cannot get retrans consent dollars directly from the MVPDs
instead?
