Digital TV will be a godsend for them.

When they can put up 3 channels on their digital bandwidth their execution runs a stay.

The current business model is dead within 15 years. However the bandwidth they were given for digital TV isn't being used at all.

Our CBS affiliate here in Kansas City is using their digital signal to broadcast all four regional sites simultaneously. All you need is a digital receiver, and my DirecTV receiver happens to also be an over-the-air digital receiver as well.

So while I signed up for the NCAA webcast, I probably won't use it. Also, I'm glad I didn't sign up for DirecTV's March Madness package (which gives me basically the same thing that the CBS affiliate is giving away for free). Life is, for the moment, good.
