    1. Wish 8 comes in on my digital antennaes, except that north facing upstairs bedroom.
      Of course McCoy got into a p***ing contest with Directv and blew that access.

  1. It won’t be long before there is no variety in the news (TV or print) in the Indy metro area. Regardless of your politics, it is a bad idea long term.

    1. Don’t worry, they will probably have to donate to the president and promise to pre-empt Jimmy Kimmel in order to get this through FCC oversight and approval.

    2. So you’re happy with right wing BS? Why let the facts get in the way of a good story? You’re entitled to your own opinions, but not your own facts. The erudite post would have been something to the effect of: present the facts with minimal spin of any type.

    3. Here is a concept, so follow me on this; how about no media bias just the news without a slant, commentary etc. Just a pipe dream in the U.S. today.

    4. He probably thinks Trumps people storming the Capital on January 6th was no bid deal, but he would be mad if people broke into his house. Love the Republican hypocrisy.

  2. Mr McCoy, please don’t play hardball with Directv again with this new acquisition of tv6!
    I-we have learned to deal with 8 on antennae
    only, but 6 needs to remain accessible on Directv!

  3. Blame the US appeals court and the FCC. This is a complete reversal of what occurred in the early 70’s regarding monopolies. Now more than ever, the general public needs protection from single corporate control whether locally, regionally, nationally on any business, let alone media.
