David Goodfriend could have chosen much larger cities in which to place the next installment of his growing business.
St. Louis, Pittsburgh, Nashville, Cleveland, New Orleans and Milwaukee were all available. Instead, he chose his hometown of Madison.
Heâs hoping a successful court fight will allow his business to remain here and continue to expand to other cities around the country.
Locast is in litigation with the NBC, Fox, CBS and ABC over whether it can legally stream the signals of the network s local affiliates, like WMTV-TV in Madison. BARRY ADAMS, STATE JOURNAL
Goodfriend, 51, a Madison West High School graduate, is the founder of Locast, a service that streams over-the-air television stations to computers, phones and tablets via the internet.

Saturday Night Live returns on Saturday with first-time host John Krasinski and blissfully no reason to think to think Alec Baldwin or his Trump impersonation will be involved.
SNL has struggled to lampoon the Trump era not necessarily their fault, it was a hard time to parody and now, will hopefully feel free to get back to the eccentric weirdness that has defined the best of

Iain Softley’s smart movie about the early days of the Beatles finds an indirect way of getting up close and personal with the music legends; the film-makers couldn’t afford the expense of using the copyrighted Lennon/McCartney songs. A study of the band’s hardworking lives gigging in Hamburg in the early 60s, the film counterintuitively centres on Stuart Sutcliffe (Steven Dorff) – the band member who was destined to die of a brain haemorrhage just as they were on the verge of greatness – and his German girlfriend, Astrid Kirchherr, played by Sheryl Lee. (This tragic slant may have been an influence of Anton Corbijn’s Control.) Ian Hart gives a spiky, tasty, angular performance as John Lennon, who is shown as having an intense, almost romanticised friendship with the doomed Sutcliffe.
The emperor awaiting exile stands buck naked while his entourage of flacks, hacks, toadies, suck-ups, yes men, boot lickers, ring kissers and serial sycophants go ga ga over his wardrobe and flair for fashion.
Donald Trump never joined the Republican Party. The Republican Party joined the Donald Trump Club. Trump doesn’t need the Republican Party now that he’s leaving office, but Republicans sure as heck still need him.
He is their lifeline to the 74 million plus people who voted for him in November. He has the power with the touch of a tweet to determine the primary fate of Republican candidates running for Congress.
