I'm not a broadcast media consumer either, since I don't have a t.v. Perhaps that's why I find the visuals distracting.
No TV ?
A fellow American after my own heart! I didn't have a TV throughout college nor the whole time I was young and single (that was a few years ago!!!!). I wouldn't have one now except that my husband and I use it to watch a video or DVD with dinner. We don't have cable -- just rabbit ears. The only broadcasts we watch are Fox News Sunday, and I am chagrined to admit that we got hooked on 24 (that Jack Bauer!). Other than that -- nada, unless it's a presidential speech or debate. Except my husband watches morning news on weekdays for 10 to 20 minutes with his first cup of coffee to get his blood boiling before he turns the TV off in disgust!
I am a radio person. I love the medium of radio. Not having a TV enriches one's life immensly, doesn't it?
??????????????
So how do you watch the NFL? Go to a local bar? LOL!
Hard to imagine a person without at least a small 13" tv in the house but I suppose on some days when I feel like throwing my shoe through the screen it may not be a bad idea. But still....
