In answer to the blocking of WNCN in North Carolina. NBC is a local air broadcast channel why should Media General be charging for something that is a broadcast channel just because the cable companies are making it available to their cable customers without having to switch to air broadcast. Media General is doing a disservice to advertisers more than they are screwing the public. If you advertise on local NBC station just think how many customers you are not reaching because of Media General. The local advertisers need to inform Media General of this fact. Media General is nothing less than a tea bagger. Media General cares not for the public. They are acting like the tea baggers in the House of Representatives.

The blocking of WNCN is not the fault of DISH Network but greed of Media General and WNCN. Dish network and all cable networks are doing over air broadcasting companies a favor by re-broadcasting a marginal signal to local population. There was a time when cable companies were required to carry local stations and without charge. This was a FCC ruling. But of course the broadcast networks got the law changed so they could charge the customers. It is the local broadcasters who are the grinches here and not the cable companies. This similar scenario was played out in the New York area recently against Time Warner and its customers. I say that the FCC needs to step back in and tell the broadcast network that they cannot charge for the re-broadcasting of a local over the air signal. Now when a cable company re-broadcast a signal from a non local station that cannot be picked up by an outside antenna than the station would have the right to charge although I think it would be to the station’s best interest not to do such as it gives them coverage in an area that they are not. The problem here is the greedy monopolistic media corporations whom have been allowed to form and take over the public airways. Personally, WNCN and Media General have chosen to deny me of NBC programs as I cannot pick up their signal living in Hillsborough, NC and as a person on retirement fixed income I do have the funds to buy and install an outside antenna. I am not an isolated case as there are many of us in the same situation. These corporate greedy attitudes are slowing turning me away from TV and more to spending more time on my computer and to selectively pick programming over the internet. Many of my friends have done such and I am being pushed more and more into the internet area. I had gone through this crap with Direct TV and Viacom. It are the customers and the public who are the losers in these games that corporate always play with each other. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Synchroman (talk • contribs) 04:51, 17 October 2013 (UTC)

Would like to add an article about the late J. Stewart Bryan III

I am a former employee of Media General. A former colleague and I would like to add a biographical article about J. Stewart Bryan III, the former CEO and chairman until his death this past January. Having not contributed an article before, we would appreciate advice on how to proceed.
