LIN TV Shortsighted Negoiations with TWC      6-Oct-08 09:34 pm    
LIN TV, and especially WDTN in Dayton Ohio are asking TWC to pay for re-transmission of free tv. All this would accomplish would be to help enhance the saleability of LIN TV, would increase the costs to TWC Subscribers, would do nothing to pull up the exceptionally poor local ratings of WDTN, would benefit the WTDN advertisers, at the cost of TWC viewers.

This contract in my opinion would contradict, and violate the FCC over-the-air broadcast license of WDTN in Dayton. The license to broadcast over-the-air is somehow violated when they attempt to blackmail the TWC cable system viewers by making them pay for the over-the-air broadcast, even if it is received via cable.

This type of negoiation is a violation of basic trust the prople should have in any FCC regulated over-the-air broadcast company.

If this deal goes through, I hope WDTN, and all other LIN TV stations loose their over-the-air broadcast license.
