N> Locast had just added my metro area earlier last year, which wasn't too

N> channels with Locast.

I didn't watch the local channels on it that often, but thought it was a great idea and would be beneficial to many.  Unfortunately for Locast, they were dealing with the big media companies that even though you can get their broadcast over the air for free, they didn't want them streaming the channels for free without them getting some money.  Big media sued them and that was the end of Locast.
