Many of the OTA shows from the major broadcast networks are available through their web apps and web pages. You usually have a limited time to watch them following their original airing, and not all networks do this. CBS now wants us to pay them to even watch some of their prime offerings that are not broadcast on the network without a subscription. Personally I think a network that broadcasts commercials should not be allowed to charge for the right to watch their shows at a later date, unless they cut out the commercials. Many of the cable networks rebroadcast their shows at least once after the original airing so you can tune in later and catch that episode you missed. I like that model. If I miss an episode of Kenda: Homicide Hunter on Investigative Discovery at 9:00pm I can also see it at 12:00am just three hours later and then again the next week before the new episode comes on. I wish the major broadcast networks would do that.
