What will it take to get a news network like Free Speech TV OTA?

I'm talking network level in every state, repeaters et al...what kind of funding will it take? If you're FSTV just give a number and lets get it raised. Issues that all of us are passionate about get buried. Yeah we have the internet but not all people have that easy access, it's straight up made secret knowledge just for them not getting to the level of Gatekeepers.

As part of this I'm talking about covering a straight up news channel for the sub-channel feed part as well like RT/Al Jazeera America.

But what amount, estimated?

I'm sure there are issues all of us here, Hillary & Bernie supporters, are frustrated the MSM isn't touching and not everyone has internet access.

happens upon your post and takes the time to answer it, or if you do your own research, or if someone smart does your research for you.

It would be so much easier for them to see fundraising money and hit the level every time.

just getting money to keep the station going, unless you know some major sugar daddies who knows where the money would come from.

For some reason I have never understood, leftys seem more than happy to concede media to the right wing. True, th eright just has much more money, but in my experience the left just is not too interested in media.

that should explain it right there (ABC/CBS/NBC/FOX/CW/PBS). They'd be better off finding syndication on local OTA networks like other news networks do (RT, whatever South Korea's is, iTV, et al).

Finding syndication means you can't get 24/7 airing though.

Oh you mean Arirang?

I had assumed they were a local broadcaster (as the station it comes in on has been many local broadcasters in the 30 years I've watched that station).

And yes, Arirang. They share a channel with RT and iTV in my area. About 4-5 hour blocks of each, and then there's just dead air for the rest of the time.
