I was thinking today about the cable must carry rules.Are they still using them or they not using them.I notice over the years Comcast dumping channels in my area.I know the syndicated exclusivity "SYNDEX" rule is still used since Comcast knocks out shows like Entertainment Tonight ,Off network Sitcoms,Movies ,Sports,Drama,Game shows and other syndie shows out with a on screen notice and a tone. I think its BS but the rule saves the local stations when viewers run off to out of the market stations to watch their favorite syndie show and the locals loose out of the ad revenue and own the local rights to the programs. .I used too be up on this but slack off over the years reading the trades mags about it.
