Who would plan to use over the air reception if you can pick up more 
programming streaming on line? According to this article 72.4% US households 
have broadband access.

Is this something we'll see occurring more often in the future, or just an 
anomaly?

KTUD Vegas TV goes off the air Thursday




LAS VEGAS (KSNV & MyNews3) -- News 3 has learned through a contracted employee 
with KTUD Channel 25 -- Cable Ch. 14 -- will go off the air at midnight 
Thursday night.

The doors will be closed for good on Friday.

Employees were given the bad news in an afternoon meeting.

Vegas TV was purchased by Greenspun Broadcasting in 2004. Recent efforts to 
sell the station for $4 million have failed.

The channel mostly runs syndicated programming such as "Family Guy" and 
"Community."

Efforts to contact the Greenspun organization have been unsuccessful, including 
a call to Brian Greenspun's cell phone. KTUD bosses are not talking, either.
