“””A long time ago, television was free and came in over the air. But they had commercials so that TV stations could make a profit. “””

It used to be about two to three minutes of commercials per hour. Now it is 20 minutes per hour.

And now you have to pay three times to watch a network scheduled show. I cut it all off and only use a digital antennae and Prime. My bills went from $225 to $46 per month. The new analog to digital broadcast antenna gives me hundreds of shows for only the cost of a few commercials. I already have Prime for all of my free shipping on Amazon.
