I wonder when carriers will find it impossible to carry locals? With Nexstar wanting a Billion dollars in fees, aren't we getting to that point? Dish refuses to pay that and I support it, but if the viewer cannot get their local network station, something needs to change. Maybe the viewers need to flood the phones to the FCC demanding if there is a dispute, temporarily offer an out of market station until the dispute is over. How long will it be when the carriers refuse to carry locals? Used to be all we got were East/West Networks. Maybe we need to go back to those days? Carrying locals is getting waaaaay to expensive. There is no reason why the fees should be expensive, as they offer the channels OTA for free. Most can get them from an antenna. I do feel for the ones who can't. Also most of the network programs do stream now, so if you have high speed, that is also an option. Also most main TV station do stream their local news.
