THIS IS JUST SAD! American Corporations deceiving it’s customers with an obvious and blatant con job. Why? Warner Bros. Discovery just hired a new CEO for $52 million a year. That’s $1,000,000 per week. There are many more examples of greed but this is widely known. This kind of exorbitant pay is even more than @Miki earns and he really is The Man.

What’s really galling is that the locals are often available to access for free via an antenna.

Well, for those of us without any decent OTA reception, cable is pretty much the only choice for local “broadcast” TV stations (since LOCAST was bullied off the scene). Unfortunately, It’s not available as a stand alone package and it cant be deleted from a cable channel package. So it mandatory but it’s billed as an add-on (at least by Spectrum).
So good luck and good hunting - sign me up!!!
