This is a good point. That is why I ended with, “that I am aware of.” I forgot about the fact that there are people who choose not to use cable at all.
Before there was cable, there was over the air radio signals. If you were lucky, you could watch all four broadcasting companies: ABC, CBS, NBC and PBS.
My cable company was charging me $280 a month. Of course the cable company was providing me my ISP.. I grew tired of the high cost, and I went with YouTube TV streaming.
