WHDH blows off Leno

[Dave Doherty]

Well, of course this is all speculation as usual; but with DTV the 
traditional distinctions between UHF and VHF go away. The supremacy of 
traditional VHF brands will certainly exist for a while, but in the age of 
Internet distibution of everything, it's hard to see how the distinction 
between VHF and UHF brands will survive in the long run.

NBC can stream Leno to your desktop and your BlackBerry and your iPhone, and 
bypass the entire Boston broadcasting market, if they so choose.

Hello?  It's been said before, but it needs to be said again: The Internet 
changes everything.  Absolutely everything.
