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.
