Of course we can't have anything nice anymore. Soon the only free OTA channels will be the bible thumping happy hour crap. We use OTA to watch the local news, and it feels like this will be another blow to our ability to hear about what's going on in our community.

You're lucky to be able to do this! Since the digital switchover, the number of OTA channels that I can receive was reduced to one. So that was effectively the death of OTA TV for me. Which admittedly wasn't the worst thing, as it got me to stop watching television entirely.

Most network and local news is junk now anyway.

Local stations may have some cute human interest stories but most of it has become incredibly biased with a predetermined narrative.

For those of us in Oklahoma, it's great entertainment during a severe thunderstorm.
