I might pay $5 per month if it meant real news instead of propaganda,
otherwise middle-finger.

I wouldn't exactly say that. BayAreaBTV (covers the area around the

few of the other local network-affiliated channels. Sadly none of the

We shall see how it goes. I know many of those stations are paying
lots of money to be on the Sutro Tower, and none of them is actually
swimming in cash. If there is enough revenue in it for them to make
some dough, I bet some of them might turn it on.

looked at the Chicago market. The only way I heard of some of them is
because I did work for them. The rest is a bunch of nobodies.
Also, the article totally misses the mark as to why this isn't
already streamed. It claims it's from bundling. It's really from the
fact that they charge $5/month/channel to get that content.

This time, it might actually work. They have a model that provides local
stations with an additional source of revenue, and they don't have to
charge users anything. Networks don't like it though.
