NBC to create OTA/streaming subchannel for younger audiences. It mentions local but is it basically just a national news channel for younger audiences or several 'local' channels for each specific market?

Could they not bring NBC News Now to OTA? What will this 'youth' orientated news channel air 24/7?

The feed is only live 8 hours per day. Who is going to sponsor it?

CBS should make their 24/7 streaming news "CBSN" available for all CBS affiliates as a digital subchannel. Would be a heck of a lot more useful than DABL.

Nothing makes it onto free OTA unless someone sponsors it.

There are also some technical questions including how to handle closed captioning.
