OTA (local) broadcasters want a piece of the action because -
surprise - they are the ones paying for the majority of it! Maybe it
is a surprise, but in the case of FOX (as an example) typically only
2 hours a day of programming are provided by the network. That means
that 22 hours of content is paid for by the local broadcaster. So,
it seems only right and just that they participate in the economics
of the the most viewed,valued by the consumer, content.
How did the broadcast industry ever survive before retrans consent dollars?
Must be tough to sell commercials in that "other" 22 hours of programming.
Must NOT be, as these shows are filled with ads.
