Anybody else out there annoyed that WOSU is broadcasting the
conventions.  I watch WOSU-TV to enjoy something different than the
brain-sludge on the networks.  They advertise themselves as 
"alternative programming."  So how do they reconcile that with the
fact that they're broadcasting EXACTLY the same thing that all 3
networks are also showing.  If I wanted to watch the conventions, 
I'd switch to the comedy channel.  

Generally, I like the job that WOSU does, but sometimes their 
decisions make no sense to me.  I do have to wonder if it's cheaper
just to re-broadcast the conventions from satellite downloads than to
broadcast their usual quality stuff.  With the budget cuts we've 
suffered at OSU I suppose that might justify it.  

Anybody know what's going on here.
