Sounds like Hollywood's mad dash to emulate Netflix
They licensed shows and movies to Netflix, people canceled cable en masse and replaced it with Netflix, hurting the cable channels that buttered Hollywood's bread, so they decide to just hasten the decline themselves with their own streamers

Growing up seeing how hard we shifted after 9/11 and the obsession with "terror" and seeing Iraq basically destroyed in real time for no reason on the evening news really left an impression on me
My mind boggles at people forgetting all that

His last special before he died seemed to be an effort to return to "funny because it's true" humor
I don't think Life is Worth Losing (the one before it) even really qualifies as comedy, it was just depressing as shit

Many historic VHF stations could keep their primo numbers as virtual channels while really transmitting from now-stronger UHF frequencies
Making them key components of Sinclair and Nexstar's intensified consolidation efforts, helping to give them their outsized role within ABC as a network

The transition to ATSC 1.0 favored UHF signals over VHF signals, a new reality not reflected by the outdated UHF discount
Realizing the massive loophole that had been opened, station groups went on a buying spree, as the limit to 39% of TV households had effectively been doubled

The UHF discount in particular is key: a relic of the analog era when UHF stations had weaker signals than VHF ones, the FCC only counted them for half the household reach of a VHF station, important for the cap that limits how many households a station group can legally reach

And it's worth noting that Sinclair and Nexstar as we know them (or Nexstar at all) do not exist without decades of deregulation
They could not function as they do without the Telecommunications Act of 1996, or if the FCC had gotten around to repealing the UHF discount in 2009

I think Nexstar has been far more effective than Sinclair, in large part because they landed Tribune
Sinclair did most of their buying from 2012-14, and most station groups that sold to them did so under duress or just because they wanted out of their investment
