Should cable providers pay to carry local channels?

Interesting.

We’ve all seen the commercials from both sides trying to convince us that cable providers should or should not pay to carry local stations.  Is everyone thoroughly sick of the ads?  I am.

Anyway … it turns out that cable providers in Iowa do pay to carry local stations.  Who knew?

Basically, I just assume that my cable television fees will be going up soon regardless the only question is by  how much and who will get the money.
