Our local membership cable company... Comstock Community Television Inc...Virginia City Nevada are being bullied by Sinclair,NBC and CBS who are illegal charging CCTV Inc for public airwave use {note: so far ABC has not jumped on the bandwagon}...Be it known CCTV Inc is a membership provider meaning all members are one... ie: CCTV Inc. and at their own expense years ago placed a antenna on Mt Davidson to receive the aforementioned public airwave broadcasts, which replaced individual antennas on residents homes to keep the community in line with the nostalgic 1800's look [Virginia City,Nevada is on the National Park Service's National Register of Historic Places]. This in effect makes the one antenna no different then each individual having a antenna...one belongs to all!
The broadcasts are transmitted along with the other paid subscriber cable broadcast only channels...however there has never been a charge for the public airwave channels. Sinclair as well as NBC and CBS are claiming they can charge CCTV based on a June 2014 SCOTUS decision against a internet live stream provider who was charging for the rebroadcast of public airwave . They also claim Obama's FCC said they could do it!
Since CCTV has never charged for the public airwaves transmission... Sinclair as well as NBC and CBS are illegally charging for use...hello does this mean everyone who has a antenna on their roof also owe back charges for capturing free public airwave broadcasts?...I think not and suspect any Court of law would disagree with Sinclair,NBC and CBS! IMHO they are greedy SOB's abusing and illegally charging for the peoples public airwaves! The FCC should immediately revoke their Public Airwave license and place them on the available market!
