LAS VEGAS — In an Armageddon-like declaration that could unravel network TV, a t

op News Corp. executive said Fox could become a subscription service if courts don’t put a halt to the retransmission of its shows for free.

Chase Carey, News Corp.’s president and chief operating officer, rattled an opening day audience at the National Association of Broadcasters already nervous about what the advances of mobile and subscription content mean for the industry’s future

At issue is a federal court decision last week not to impose an injunction against Barry Diller’s Aereo, a service that provides broadcast TV streaming through its devices. The company argues that it doesn’t have to pay retransmission fees because it provides small antennas to its users, but Fox — along with CBS, NBC and Disney — insists the antennas are a ruse to conform with a legal loophole.

pot calling the kettle black?  those companies that rebroadcast play a significant role in those shows being seen at all conflict in scheduling tivo what's the difference, this has been in play for years why now is it a problem?

“If we can’t have our rights properly protected through legal and governmental solutions, we will pursue a business solution,” Carey said “One solution would be to take the network and make it a subscription service. We’re not going to sit idly by and let people steal our content.”

while they have great shows don't see that many paying for it, then their advertisers would shrink it the viewing market is low, salaries would go down if not enough money from advertisers.  money from payers will case alot of programing to never see a camera, i think it's just a hissy fit.

they are the right ones to talk about legal and gov't rights hell they owe us that with all the misleading and stolen stories manufactured new illegal interviews spun for sensationalism. who's zoomin who?
