In a time of a failing economy, I think that LIN TV is just being greedy. 122+% increase in retransmission fees, when I can get my local TV station free with an antenna? THE CEO of LIN TV makes an estimated income of 8M +. Lets continue to step on the working class Americans, make the people whom make this country run pay more for everything. "Most cable operators, like their statellite and telecommunications competitors, now understand and acknowledge that fair and equitable compensation is essential to ensure the viability of local television," said Vincent Sadusky, president and CEO of LIN. Take a pay cut if you think local television can't survive.
Letting TWC retransmit LIN TV's signal does not cost them anything, as a matter of fact, LIN TV can get more revenue if LIN TV's stations are on TWC, because LIN TV's signal is getting to more people.
If I end up paying more, can I get a reduction of Commercials during the programming?
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I've found myself using my PC for a lot of conversations lately, and I'm also considering recording a podcast to share with anyone who will listen. There are tons of USB headset / microphones out there, and I'm hoping someone has some solid recommendations based on experience. I'll consider both headsets and standalone mics, by the way, but I'd like to keep the bill under $100 if possible. Help!"
