But as ABC has proved by pulling ABC News Now as a
separate cable channel, broadcasters can achieve this
goal regardless. Why can't they gradually pull back
their cable-only channels and stick them on their OTA
multicasts? Then cable systems will want to provide
those multicasts, or risk losing subscribers.
What you keep repeating, that broadcasters are
perfectly happy to see a non-viable DTT solution,
seems way too preposterous and self destructive.
