[SBE] The future of Broadcasting.

[Bob Reite]

I think that you are being a little bit paranoid.  The Internet lets 
everyone be a "broadcaster" for a very low entry cost.  If traditional 
broadcasters want to keep their audience, they had better start offering 
better programming.  I quit watching broadcast TV over 5 years ago, 
because the entertainment shows were no longer entertaining, and the 
news programming seemed to all rally  for the war in Iraq, with no 
critical analysis against it, unlike the news commentary during the 
Vietnam war.

Yes, with the DTV transition, we lost some more of the UHF spectrum and 
in the major markets, low VHF, but since one can cram 4 channels of 
standard def programming into a 6 MHz channel, I feel that we still come 
out ahead.
