The correct answer is the NAB and $$$
They forget that they are using Public Airwaves. They can also see that the handwriting is on the wall and soon with IPTV their licenses could be worthless.
They need to run to the government when ever some new technology comes up begging the goverment to make a law to protect their meal ticket.
Look at all the crap they are trying to pull because of Satellite Radio is taking away their audience, they are too stupid to realize the reason most are going to Satellite Radio is because broadcast radio is garbage.
They forget that is is America, and we have the freedom of choice. They want to dictate to us what we can and can not watch. Last time I looked at a map it did not say Russia on it for where I live.
The NAB should take a look at what the recording industry has done, they were against online music, faught hard against it and now they have realized there is a market out there from online music, and are now profiting big time because they accepted the technology.
I know many people would be willing too pay EXTRA to watch their hometown news and teams, its money that as of now is not being seen by anyone because the broadcasters have their heads stuck up their asses.
