Complain complain complain. Instead of complaining, take action, Craig. You have access to the free pipe, use it. If you want more choice, find an MVPD that sells a cheaper package without the local OTA broadcast stations. Or lobby for such a bundle to be made available. Instead no, you keep wanting to demolish FOTA TV. I'd say you are working at cross purposes.
