I haven’t had cable for almost ten years. There are only 3 cable stations that I watched when I did watch it.
ME-TV, TCM, and BBCA. I can get ME over the air and could make it without the other two but I like to keep up on Doctor Who.
My wife is the one who keeps the sports tuned in all the time. But she pays the cable bill. I try to be elsewhere during stupid sports is on. I don’t go to ballgames, and I tune out sports imams on the radio.
