CBS Responds (sort of)

[Talos4]

A very disgruntled co-worker with D* is fed up with CBS-58. He sent an e-mail off to the station and this is the response:


Subject: RE: HDTV on 58

We broadcast an analog and digital signal over the air and have contracts with the cable companies for the redistribution of both of those signals.

The satellite companies have entered into contracts with us for our analog signal only.  They do not have agreements in place with us that would allow them to carry our digital signal.

However, as our analog signal will be dropped next month and we will only be broadcasting digitally, a resolution of some sort should be forthcoming.

The response is pretty much what I told him it would be. :bang:

Don't be so sure....

That is basically the same letter that i received a year or so ago.  They are not in any talks to to change.
