Jun 10 Over the Air TV Signals - Are They Still Needed?
On the last two shows we discussed an initiative by the Consumer Electronics Association to eliminate over the air (OTA) broadcasts of television signals. In CEAs findings they stated that only 8% of the US population receives their signals through the air. We feel that this number is artificially stated as low. The survey polled 1,256 adults but it did not say where the respondents were located. If the survey was done in rural communities that number may be as high as 25%.
Regardless, we put together a quick survey to see which side our listeners/readers come down on the subject. We'll discuss the results on Friday's show.

We have never had anything but over the air. But when I drive around my antenna is the only one I see so yes it could be argued the spectrum is wasted.
Wife channel surfs. But I only watch DVR shows using EyeTv.
We both use Netflix.
