Now wait just a minute - there was no "fuzzy" with UHF! Let me assure you, I developed a crush on the star of the bestest UHF show ever... Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman... an' she was not fuzzy to look at....

You can get over-the-air digital stations with rabbit ears if you live close enough to the antenna.

Can someone explain this notion that the airwaves belong to the people and should be managed as a public trust.

Pai only listens to comments from sources he approves of with information that backs up his policies.

Note particularly the statement:

Doyle asked Pai, "what kind of comment would cause you to change your mind?" Pai responded, "economic analysis that shows credibly that there's infrastructure investment that has increased dramatically" since the net neutrality rules went into effect.

Then when presented with evidence claimed that the source was biased. The GOP member of the FCC basically mimicked Pai's response.

Louise Lasser? Bless your heart, you must have been pubescent at the time.

In our area, all three local news stations lead with one or two national news stories that we've all already read about earlier in the day, continue with fires/shootings/bad accidents, do 7 - 8 minutes of sports, and finally, the weather, which pops up on my phone every time I wake it up. Why on earth would I watch that?

Find out which local stations are Sinclair owned. Then write letters saying that you will boycott the LOCAL businesses advertising on their stations. Most local stations make their money from local advertisers. Also write boycott letters to the local businesses. Might work.

it used to be national news at 5:30, local at 6 and the local was local. it's been about 10 years since I've had the cable, so I have no idea.

My favorite Steve Sweeney bit (and this is from like 25 years ago, so nothing has changed): 'Just tell us - is it sweatah weathah?' I tried to find it on Youtube, but couldn't.

If you're talking Columbus, there are actually three ...

WSYX (6)WTTE (28)WWHO (53)

... all of which I avoid like the plague, because that is, in fact, what they are.

Even so, I'm still upset I have to watch WBNS (10), because the Wolfe family is just about as bad.
