I think the cable companies kickback to the networks, even the local broadcast stuff. But the cable guys use ONE antenna, and split that signal off to multiple cable subscribers. Aero has one antenna for each subscriber, but the antenna is remote to the subscriber (local to the broadcast market).

Anyway, the broadcast guys want a kickback, that's all this is about.

I thought local channels were supposed to be “free”

We bought a digital antenna and still couldn’t get them so we had to subscribe to cable.

To even watch a free local channel on their individual network apps, thou have to subscribe to cable. For a FREE local channel!

That’s what this crap is about, you’re right... Kickbacks!
