Geoffrey 861 Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Yesterday, the head of Fox suggested it, and now Les Moonves is saying the same thing: From The New York Times' Brian Stelter: http://www.nytimes.com/2013/04/10/business/media/aereo-has-tv-networks-circling-the-wagons.html CBS has already had some exploratory talks with cable operators about taking its local station signals off the air. “For now, we’re talking about the New York-Connecticut area,” Mr. Moonves said, because that’s the only area where Aereo now operates. Aereo provides subscribers with New York-area stations using antennas to capture the over-the-air signals. Stations (and networks) are worried about losing the retrans fees provided by cable providers. Seems like a drastic change in response to a little-known company but I guess they're trying to stay ahead of this.

10Viewer 334 Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Dumb idea. Lot of folks have dropped cable altogether. Big media just gets more carried away.
