Locast, a Free App Streaming Network TV, Would Love to Get Sued

The device is there to soak up TV signals coursing through the air — content from NBC, ABC, Fox, PBS and CBS, including megahits like “This Is Us” and this Sunday’s broadcast of Super Bowl LIII. It’s a streaming service, and it makes all of this network programming available to subscribers in ways that are more convenient than relying on a home antenna : It’s viewable on almost any device, at any time, in pristine quality that doesn’t cut in and out . If this sounds familiar, you might be thinking of Aereo, the Barry Diller-backed start-up that in 2012 threatened to upend the media industry by capturing over-the-air TV signals and streaming the content to subscribers for a fee — while not paying broadcasters a dime.
