Most people don't remember why Cable came to be or how it was founded. Well way back in the late 40's, something called CATV, Community Antenna Television, was invented.
The system didn't take off for many years until the government proceeded with the construction of new TV stations.
The reason beside making money was an alternative to broadcast TV in areas where reception was "bad" or did not exist at all. The alternative to combat commercial TV and provide an alternative of commerical FREE service did not come along till much later, early 60's. Today Cable TV has just as much commericals and for profit ads as regular TV so why are we paying to watch commericals? Has anyone sat down to think about this? I pay to have commercials delivered to my TV for which I am paying a fee. I pay for the service, the government "taxes" and I pay extra for movies; dam I must be stupid. Well enough of this crap. Hope to hear from someone out there who is just as pissed off as I am about Choice-Less, the only alternative in La Isla.
