How so?
And are you implying that "free
OTA channels" can't make money because they are "free?"
Both ThisTV and RTV are now carried on many cable systems due to their exposure on
ota channels and not the other way around.
Same thing goes for Universal Sports. In fact one of the requirements for putting Universal Sports on a local
ota station is that the local station must get them coverage on the local cable system. If that station can't do it then US can void the contract and go with another station in the same market that may be able to.
Sounds to me like in this day and age
ota is the way to go for any new network that hopes to be profitable via
ota and cable.
Less advertising throughout
