So, unless CBS mis-located my IP address, for some reason our local CBS 
affiliate had already been allowed to participate.

In any event, the important point is that CBS has found an Internet role for 
its affiliated local broadcasters, Craig, as I suggested before. This could 
potentially become a migration path for the replacement of FOTA TV with FOTI 
TV, in addition to all the nice stuff archival stuff you get for a fee. Of 
course, that can't happen until Internet TV is available to "everyone." Still, 
it's a path.

Anyone have any doubts that it would have been? It will be interesting to see 
what the other networks do.
