Me. I love local channels and have an antennae. Streaming has gotten so expensive it’s no longer affordable for me. My damn phone alone is $115 and internet is $90… and the connection is spotty or sometimes just craps out completely, and I’m in the middle of the city. Can’t afford steaming on top of that.

My wife used to, but she says there hasn't been a decent TV series in several years now.

We have had Sling TV for two years now, which is advertised as not having local channels. But in many TV markets, they'll provide the NBC or Fox affiliate for free, sometimes both.

In our area, we get Fox affiliate. We don't watch any prime time broadcast shows, but it is nice to have a local channel when you want to watch the news for regional events (weather, fires, etc.).
