It looks like as I previously suggested. The first service from Media General will likely be a (downscaled) pass-through mobile simulcast of the primary channel.
- Tom --quote--Do you have copyright clearance to simulcast? Do you have permission from the networks, the syndicators and the guilds to do that?
We're in discussions right now with the networks, but we don't anticipate any problems as long as it's a pass-through simulcast service. It's an unaltered service being distributed through a mobile device the same way it's distributed to your living room TV. There's going to be a viewing lift for local broadcasters, the network and the syndicator as well.
