DTV transition will bring back life to independent TV and classic TV?-(We hope)
With the digital transition less than 90 days away more and more Multicast channels will be popping up-
This is great news as independent TV will live again!
Even a LPTV station in Ohio is changing it's call letters to WKRP
(If this is the case then who needs TV Land and allot of other channels that only show reality crap and less and less classic TV -
Here are some links of a sample of multicast channels due to the DTV transition.

Well, I see it a little differently. I see subs as bandwidth sucking vampires degrading the picture on the main HD channel.
Quasi-static subs like weather maps suck less bandwidth out of the main channel.

Within 5 years all subchannels will be showing nothing but infomercials and shopping networks!
