Fair Local TV Broadcast representation.

Created by M.W. on May 16, 2013

I would like to have a choice on the broadcasting that I receive. I live 125 miles from 1 city, & 135 miles from another. The closer TV broadcasters are in another state. My news & weather is not covered by those tv stations unless something terrible happens. I wish to receive my states broadcasts. I feel that is a person lives more than 100 miles from 2 different markets, that he should have the choice as to which market he should receive.
The 2 choices 220 miles apart.
The FCC, Nielsen, DirecTV, & Dish network are forcing me, and many others to watch 1 market that does not represent me, my local news, or my states news.
Living this far from both markets, I feel that I should be able to choose which programming to receive. Nothing distant, but just the next market. MY market.
