True, broadcast TV has been in decline for many years now.
We are long since removed from a TV world, in which we had NBC, ABC, CBS, and some big cities had independent channels. We are even removed a long way from when the Fox network joined those Big Three broadcast networks.
Hopefully the good programming will always be available somewhere.
Parents have the responsibility to take that out of their homes. There are sufficient streaming services out there to provide quality content for children to watch.
Haven't had cable TV in my home for five years now and never missed it for one minute.
Well, with my business destroyed, broadcast tv is all we can afford @ present. Maybe for the rest of my life, at this rate. Mostly I just watch it for local news. Luckily, the “sub” channels have some good old programs & movies - more than I have time for anyway, really.
