[SBE] TV Audio on HD-3

[Gary Liebisch]

Aside from the NWR issue, I think the full time rebroadcast of a local TV
station's audio on HD3 would probably run into affiliate contractual issues
particularly when that TV station is running network programming.  This is
unfortunate because a lot of TV shows can translate reasonably well to
"audio only".   Among the "cable only" channels, for example, I regularly
listen to CNN or Fox News audio via XM or Sirius. I could see myself doing
the same for most local OR network news and talk shows without losing too
much.

I am looking into the NWR on HD3 issue right now....I know that there are
locations where you find dedicated Noaa Weather on normal FM channels.  
If a TV broadcaster were willing to trade something for HD3 carriage of
their audio this could be a nice plus for the radio station, not sure how
the TV would view the addition of the HD3 channel, especially in light of
the limited number of receivers out there.
