To me this makes a lot of sense. Remember that CNN has never been, to my knowledge, OTA; hence the name Cable News Network. I believe since its inception in the early 80's CNN has always been a pay channel, first via cable and now via satellite. So to show CNN in a restaurant using a FTA receiver would be wrong. As for local OTA channels I suppose that would be acceptable.
