What is the fight with KBAK/KBFX and Dish Network? It seems KBAK/KBFX wants to be paid so my TV service provider Dish Network can continue to give me their service. I thought TV in America is free. Free because the TV stations sell 1/3 of their broadcast time to advertisers to pay for the service. What will happen when Dish Network and KBAK/KBFX don't reach an agreement? I guess I no longer get to see my favorite sport reporter keeping me updated on local sports. I will also loose the network shows that I enjoy from both CBS and FOX. Will I tune to their free over the air signal? NO I REFUSE TO SUPPORT KBAK/KBFX IN THIS FIGHT!!! Will I miss Greg Kerr, sure, but I will catch up with him at local sporting events. Will I miss CSI and 24? No, they are available free online. Will KBAK 29 and KBFX 58 get lower rating with the loss of Dish Network customers? You bet they will. Since the KBAK over the air signal is so strong in Bakersfield I will not be able to get a waiver for the CBS programming, but KBFX is a low power TV so I will regain my waiver that I lost when KBFX became available on Dish Network, and with that waiver I will be able to get the distant network KTTV from Los Angeles. The best part of that is I will get KTTV in HD something KBAK has refused to do with KBFX which they continue to broadcast is SD.
