Welcome
to the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF INDEPENDENT NETWORKS
What is an independent network? Independent networks are independent of distribution platforms (cable companies & DBS providers) and broadcast affiliates. Unfortunately, today television programming is provided by and access is limited to, primarily a small number of large media companies that control distribution platforms and/or possess multiple broadcast affiliates, giving them special negotiating powers and access, at the expense of independent networks, hurting the television consumer.
