No compensation? The question is how much they are paying for carriage.
There is much history here, that a few list members are hip to, but none
will talk about the Gainesville/NBC situation on the list ...

It is interesting that the imported NBC signals are still available
on Cox cable. Probably due to an existing contract.
The new Gainesville NBC affiliate is also on Cox cable; they are not
being afforded protection for NBC programming (not sure about
syndicated programming). But they are reaching about 93% of homes in
the Gainesvile area, which explains why they can get by with a low
power broadcast signal. My guess is that they are receiving NO
compensation from NBC, and may be aying NBC for their programming.
