The only new and different twist in this article is that the big four
networks have given support to the idea of a delay! And here we were
told that broadcasters wanted to quit simulcasting.


The networks have far more to gain from a delay than local stations. Only a handful of stations are owned by the networks..the power bills for affiliates are a very large number compare to the power bills for the network O&O's.

Extending the switch until the 08/09 season is over could gain a few rating points for the networks.
