Dear Readers:
From forums and emails to me I know that
many of you are disappointed with the CBS
DirecTV outcome, especially for the Super
Bowl. Yes, anywhere there are CBS owned
stations the satellite company is authorized
to give you the signals with a waiver
automatically granted. Where independent
affiliates own the CBS outlet that is
another story. There, you are required to
get a waiverm and this is not easily granted
with it often taking 45 days prior to any
response. CBS has their hands tied on this
one unless they want to break the sacred
bond they have between them and and their
affiliates. Considering the dramatic
decrease in network viewing this year that
is not a choice anyone is going to easily
make. The ship must hold together during
these choppy seas. Those affiliates who have
chosen to not grant any waivers for even the
Super Bowl are not thinking clearly with
respect to whom they serve and from where
their pay check comes. Yes, we who
sympathize with them can say, "But they need
the revenue from the Super Bowl and to grant
waivers means they would lose some viewers
from their own signals and that means less
dollars from their own local advertisers.
This is THE BIG GAME and a time when they
can make a few bucks from the added
concentration of viewers on this national
television events day."
I don't know how many HDTV viewers
would turn to a DirecTV feed if they could
already get the local CBS affiliate signal
rock solid? What would be the point? It is
only you who cannot receive this 8-VSB
signal from those affiliate towers or cable
that are at stake here. Yet, they won't do
it, and the reason is that they feel they
have been cheated in the past by people
using bogus addresses to get satellite feeds
from the networks when they shouldn't have
by law had that privilege. There are people
who brag on public forum about how easy it
is to steal unauthorized signals. Don't
remain part of this magazine if you are one
who practices this theft, or change your
ways. I don't want to be associated with
such activities. The satellite companies
have not policed this action very well
either and so there is a major distrust that
has been whipped up over time between the
affiliates, the satellite companies, and
even their broadcast companies. You are the
pawns in this game of retaliation. The drill
sergeant is making the entire platoon do
pushups because a few hidden scoundrels
short sheeted his bed. It;s cute. It's fun.
It's delightfully antiestablisment naughty,
and all it cost was the platoon's sweat. No,
it cost a lot more. It cost trust. And
without trust the world spins a little
slower.
The local CBS independent affiliate
that does not have a clear signal to your
set and who is still not granting you a
waiver for at least the Super Bowl, is just
no friend of yours. If you can't be
exploited, to hell with you. I am going to
add one caveat to this point later. Perhaps,
you are one of the local sponsors of TV
programs in your area. Maybe you sponsor the
news or the morning program or the weather.
Call up your account executive and the
general manager and point out that anything
that is done to further HDTV fully enriches
the nation. Tell them to look to Robert
Grave's remarks made in Mexico a few weeks
past to all of the Americas where he boldly
declared what many have known for
decades--HDTV is a benefit to the land that
adopts it and to the economy of that land.
Ask why these people who cannot receive
signals in the first place--the only legit
group to seek the waiverd--are denied them
from satellite and why is it that national
progress in HDTV is being obstructed? There
may be no law broken here but the vision
which carries us forward is clouded and the
message tossed into the dirt. So, these CBS
affiliates not only block you from having
the Super Bowl (and they cannot profit from
someone who cannot receive their signals in
the first place) but also ruin for you this
unprecedented opportunity to serve this
higher cause by showcasing your HDTV to your
neighborhood. It is an absolutely mindless
decision from, at least on the surface. I am
told by CBS that we just don't understand
all of the implications. That is certainly
fair enough. Most people are not even
competent in their jobs for five years much
less understanding senior policy matters as
complex as these. I think we can look at it
in block diagram form though for it is not
that complex. A signal that carries a high
value for a local broadcaster cannot be
received by someone in their area and they
obstruct clearance for a substitute
satellite feed that would serve that
customer. There are a lot of business
adjustments when there are changes, but
hardly as many as had to be made on 911. The
industry that can send news around the world
on short term leased satellites with content
that has rights management clauses all over
the place can certainly find a way to
satisfy their end users on the biggest TV
day of the year.
Here is that caveat I mentioned earlier:
If I am going out on a limb to rattle the
CBS affiliates I have to warn you not to be
lazy on your end. The broadcasters have laid
out a tremendous amount of money and given a
titan's effort to transition to HDTV and to
compliment that you need to make a first
class all-out effort to receive those
signals that the government mandated them to
send to you. It is the only fair thing to do
and we increasingly must act like we
are partners in this transition if HDTV is
to reach its fantastic potential. If you are
just looking to take the easy way out and
get your DirecTV CBS Super Bowl by making a
toll free phone call or, maybe two, don't
blame the broadcasters for taking the same
easy way out by just saying no. It is their
granted right. It is not very nice from a
public relations standpoint, but the rights
are on their side. If it were not, there
would be lawyers crawling all over this
deal. But if you walk the extra mile and
still can't receive those signals then call
up the general manager of that affiliate and
tell him or her what you have done and still
without good results. If he can't fix it
then with his engineers tell him to fax or
email his clearance to whomever it must go
at CBS and/or the satellite company just
for the Super Bowl. The rest can be
worked out later. I know you haven't much
time but all of this just came up and to a
head yesterday.
Good Viewing,
Dale
