1. YOU HAVE THE POWER!
Every once in a while I like to remind everyone of the power they hold to destroy the national news media and Hollywood. Simply put, there is a one-legged stool propping up both of these malevolent institutions, and it is called bundled cable and satellite television. And nothing is more damaging to either than you making the choice to cancel your television bundle.
You see, ratings don't really matter much anymore.
The television game has been so expertly rigged that eyeballs have almost nothing to do with revenue.
CNN is an excellent example. Did you know that, on average, CNN is not only in last place behind MSNBC, but that the left-wing outlet's average viewers are below 1 million? With such poor ratings, there is no way CNN could survive on advertising revenue alone.
So how does CNN stay afloat?
By picking YOUR pocket.
Yes, Genius, YOU are subsidizing a Fake News outlet that is actively trying to destroy you and everything you stand for.
How?
Whether or not you watch CNN (and no one really does), if it is part of your cable package, you are putting money directly into CNN's pocket with what is called a subscription fee. Somewhere around 50% of CNN's total revenue comes from suckers like YOU, dupes who continue to pay for obscenely overpriced subscription television packages that enrich our world's CNNs.

Save money. Decrease the white noise in your life. Bring down the corrupt Man.
And all it takes is one phone call.
Cut the cord… For yourself and for America.

I dumped Netflix a couple months back after they brought Barry and Big Mike on the board of directors. I’m not paying a dime toward those two freaks.
Those are digital antennas. “Full-power analog television broadcasts, however, were required by U.S. federal law to cease by June 12, 2009.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_television_in_the_United_States
I forgot to mention that the Wikipedia article mentions the allowed exceptions to the digital rule. Also, I got a laugh out of many millennials not understanding that you could get free TV OTA with an antenna - https://www.wsj.com/articles/millennials-unearth-an-amazing-hack-to-get-free-tv-the-antenna-1501686958
You’re Welcome
Do it anyway...that would be less people in your household to watch the lies and ignorance out there....
..old dvds...old tapes...old books...internet news media..good recent encyclopedias which are now dirt cheap are excellent sources for history and things which dont change. Do not need most tv channels AT ALL. Sorry about the caps. Go cold turkey and watch. Your extra time and money will increase and you will learn how to voraciously acquire knowledge..maybe a cable company will start which gives out only the channels you want.

also has OAN and the Tennis Channel.
During the slams, I love to watch the ladies play.
Youtube TV service is $40 a mo. Its equivalent to $150 cable service. NO Contracts. It has ALL the cable channels and sports you like. Its also easy to share your service with friends/family, you can have tv’s (5) in more than one location as well. I bought a Roku smart tv and got 1 month free. Cheers!
Bump for later.
Buy the $35 high gain antenna.
Johnny Carson is on METV now.
I quit watching any news, national or local, about 3 years ago. Yep! I no longer want to throw a shoe through the TV. And I’m still more informed than anyone I know that watches that stupid crap.
We have Spectrum (spit) as our internet provider. They have an app you can download to watch live tv cable channels just like you were watching it on tv. I’d bet most providers do.
We just cancelled Direct TV last month. For $39 we bought an antenna that sits in the window. We get over 20 channels free.
