Because it is much easier to take all the channels and point them to the same video stream instead of having to use 10 pieces of equipment scattered around the US they just use one piece of hardware to run the video/slate.
I think this is funny. We saw Charlie the other night talk about Fisher, his body language and words chosen was pretty much saying "When hell freezes over they will be back." Now a couple of days later they are back? Hmmm..... did the AAD Distants have something to do with this? I 100% believe so! They saw that...checked the laws, and said "Damn! We better get our retransmission money."
I wouldn't be surprised if we see quite a few contracts signed in the next week.
