Actually, Cliff, the opposite is the likely course. What's missing in your
analysis is that broadcasters, once they turn off analog, get "renewal
expectancy." Before, renewals under the law, was a hit or miss (admittedly,
very few stations have ever had their renewal application denied.)
Renewal expectancy makes it harder to deny a renewal. The content offered
by this "umbilical" could change, though.

For me what all this translates to is the 'powers that be' want to kill
all free over the air television broadcasting by making the signals
weaker and less receivable so viewers will ultimately give up and pay
money for satellite and cable subscriptions.
When the number of OTA viewers drops to single digits, the gov't will
then declare free TV dead and sell off all the rest of the spectrum for
other highly profitable uses.
The bottom line from today forward is nothing matters but the money.
