EXACTLY, John. In fact, why should I care if they offer image quality that's as
fuzzy as analog TV really was, mono low-fi sound like in the 1960s, and no more
than 6 channels per market?
Hey, the important thing to me must be the "business model" of the broadcaster.
I should be happy to subscribe to cable and I should ask the cable company to
raise their fees, so they can afford to pay more for retran consent. What else
could possibly matter to moi?
