What is the overall tone of national TV network affiliate boards relationships with their nets these days? I remember the days of generous net compensation, little or no hassle on pre-empts or delays, and a true sense of teamwork, making for harmonious network-affiliate business.
In recent years, I hear of constant hassles on clearance and technical issues, rebellious affiliates, ABC/Disney's hard line toward stations, and dwindling net compensation rates along with numerous other bones of contention. Net by net, what's going on?
