http://www.tvtechnology.com/article/72530 The only new and different twist in this article is that the big four networks have given support to the idea of a delay! And here we were told that broadcasters wanted to quit simulcasting.
The networks have far more to gain from a delay than local stations. Only a handful of stations are owned by the networks..the power bills for affiliates are a very large number compare to the power bills for the network O&O's.
Extending the switch until the 08/09 season is over could gain a few rating points for the networks.
