I got along very well without cable for a number of years, until I volunteered for Duncan Hunter and needed to have a broader view of how the campaigns were doing.
I signed back on to cable at that point. I now pay more for less than basic cable for networks plus HGTV and Hallmark, both of which repeat often than I did back in the nineties. So I will soon go back to my faithful rabbit ears because I really don’t have the set on that much (I do enjoy Glen Beck very much on HN, however.)
Fortunately, I have many interests outside of sitting, though I do spend some time at my computer, and actually get most of my more reliable news there.
in spite of being on CNN, glen beck’s show has done very well
