DTV Antenna Sales Rise in CBS Blackout Markets

The ongoing dispute between CBS and Time Warner Cable customers predictably has turned into a quick sales opportunity for some consumer electronics stores that hawk digital over-the-air antennas in the blackout markets. “[P]urchases of HD antennas and related products are up double digits compared to prior weeks in Dallas, New York and Los Angeles,” a Radio Shack spokeswoman said. Those markets represent the bulk of the 3.2 million TWC who are affected by the standoff.
