But with no audience, there ain't squat to sell, and if the audience can't get a station over the air, that station is blowing off revenue.

When you start paying attention, you realize that what people say and what they do are often unrelated, as in diametrically opposed.

Broadcasters did manage to get an extra seven whole days to comment on the spectrum reassignment docket, because the original period closed the Monday after the NAB Show in Las Vegas. If seven days is all they got as a result of “intense lobbying,” someone’s not spending enough on cigars.

The move to hand broadcast spectrum over to wireless providers is a Treasury play, pure and simple. Chinese gangstas in dark glasses are standing on the steps of the Capitol smoking menthols. Free over-the-air TV service is this Administration’s last concern.

It’s a good time to have a Republican former senator heading up the broadcast lobby. NAB chief Gordon Smith has as much of a chance as anyone could to stall spectrum incentive auction authorization in the House. Federal Communications Commission Media Bureau Chief Bill Lake said delaying authorization could ultimately make things worse in 10 years. But holding off for another year gives everybody the chance to look at the FCC’s mathematics, while the late MSTV’s Victor Tawil figures out an even more complicated channel repacking plan.

To infer that broadcasting is an inefficient use of the spectrum per se is simply disingenuous. The least the Administration could do is admit that by “inefficient” it’s referring stock dividends. Otherwise, logic dictates that alternative means of deploying broadband across the country would be proffered.

Everyone knows how the Internet changed news prima facie from a relatively standard commodity to a free-for-all. But it also fractures stories into their smallest respective parts in order to keep the headlines rolling. It’s less about substance than speed. Dots, therefore, are left disconnected.
