I say let Media General keep their channels and the FCC should allow Dish to give those markets another NBC from another market. Most people don't care about local news on this channel they just want those stupid reality tv shows that show on it or the random football game.
You would actually be surprised how many people do care.
I did an old folks home that was getting Traverse City Michigan locals on cable, and when we installed Directv the locals came from Flint/Saginaw Mi.
For a month after the install, all I did was take calls from all these old people that they miss seeing this certain weather girl, and that the weather was not right because Flint/Saginaw was too far south.
I'm like saying to myself, WTF your not even allowed to go outside so what difference does it make ?
I ended up having to charge them to install an off-air and add another modulator to the system.
But you think a customer would be happy with locals from a major city, but the local weather will get ya every time you try to switch locals.
