I may live in a rural area, but I get OTA reception from quite a few cities, both very large and not all that large. And there are quite a number open channels that would cause no cross channel problems
for other people in my general area. So I am looking forward to the day when more entrepreneurs decide to go into the television business, especially those stations catering the niche tastes. As it is, I already receive all the major networks, ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, CW, ION, PBS, and some independents mainly catering to religious programming. More duplicates of those, PBS excepted, basically have no appeal to me and can only act to reduce the revenues of
both duplicate networks.
But in an area of perhaps a million people, it would be nice to have a sports channel, a science channel, something like CPAN, or the like that currently only come on with fee based subscription delivery methods.
