Sinclair’s greed should not be rewarded

You know something isn't right when dish companies are siding with Mediacom in the current Sinclair Broadcasting dispute. It seems Sinclair is intent on extorting an inflated price from Mediacom for rebroadcasting what is essentially free over the airwaves. Sure, other stations in other markets have settled, deciding to pass the higher price on to the consumer.
We, on the other hand, bought a digital antenna to watch the Orange Bowl and other Fox sports, but we will no longer watch Channel 2 news or most of their programming. No big loss. Sinclair's greed should not be rewarded.
We are siding with Mediacom this time.
