In Detroit, it was Fox that feared the three teams creating their own network that backed up the dump trucks of money. I'd have to do a little research to see how many of the 90 teams have no OTA affiliates. I mean, I don't expect half the schedule to go OTA, but to go off your idea, even a Friday or Saturday night package would surely beat the networks. In odd numbered years, the only time you'd be able to see the Tigers OTA would be their up to nine Saturday appearances and the World Series. -- -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
