The cable/satellite companies are the ones who are lining their pockets with the consumers dollars. They're making hundreds of millions of dollars in profits every year. They don't need to pass this expense on to the consumer, but understandably, like any corporation they don't want cut into their profits. The local broadcaster's signal is free with the purchase of a set of rabbit ears.
