Title: Do you think TWC would be better for broadcast?
Post by: WeatherSTARIII on February 14, 2009, 01:51:58 AM

The title says it all. What do you think? These darn cable companys just want to take your money (expecialy in a middle of a resession). What NBC could of done at least is to move TWC to broadcast as a digital sub-channel for any of the NBC affiliates (just like what they did with Weather Plus), so that way, you can watch it all for free.

Absolutely not. Firstly, if it moves to broadcast, then say byebye to localized STARs... Secondly, the ratings aren't worth the change to broadcast and secondly, that would put TWC in a "not required to carry" status with cable companies, which would make a lot of them choosing to not carry the station. It would become the beginning of the end for TWC if it were to move to broadcast. So, I don't not support it if that were the case.
