I don’t give a damn about the context of why this was written, but the author should be given a Pulitzer.

The dead giveaway that this is complete bullshit is the mention of "transmission tower" ... as if television in this country hasn't been all cable or satellite ever since they decommissioned VHF and UHF.

I think the number of people still using aerial antennas is like sub 1% and even then most of them only watch like one or two local news channels.

But why wouldn't you pay for satellite? Or satellite Internet? It's not particularly fast on the upload side but it definitely has plenty of download bandwidth for Netflix etc.

If it's an economic issue then yeah, TV is free, albeit in a "paid for by John Q Taxpayer" kind of way. Also, it's possible to be so rural that you can't even get a TV signal so then it horseshoes back to satellite being the only option.

And everybody laughed at me for keeping those AOL CDs for 25 years! WELL WHOS LAUGHING NOW, HUH?!?! HA HA HA HA HA

TV is still broadcast, with more channels available (as subchannels of a broadcaster) since they went to digital. They didn't decommission it.

IIRC the lower VHF bands were reprovisioned for the new HD channels, which could fit more subchannels in the same frequency range because digital doesn't bleed into neighboring channels like analog. The higher UHF bands were resold to become cellular network bands.

You are correct it's still there to some degree but I still would be shocked to discover it had more than fraction of the penetration of cable and satellite. I would check but I frankly don't know what industry group would even publish such statistics.

I think there's a fair number of cable cutters out there that have the netflix / hulu / antenna bundle

Fun fact-- on the rare occasion gorillas fight in the wild, both gorillas usually die.

OneOfMany_MAGA 2 points ago +2 / -0

I had the opportunity to spend a day tracking mountain gorillas in the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest in western Uganda. Amazing experience. The gorillas are wild, although the groups that allow humans to approach are acclimated you human presence.

No gorilla fights. However a blackback male gorilla did approach our group (we are supposed to maintain a substantial distance but if the gorillas approach you, you are supposed to freeze and not meet their eyes). He ended up giving a playful shove to one member of our party who went flying into the brush. The gorilla chuffed a laugh and continued on his way. Damn funny video.

Disappointed? I always rock Harambe-Vision on my television. You guys aren't?

The Gorilla Channel disappeared far too quickly.

Must have been too soon after Harambe.

Hastily erected transmission tower on the south lawn.

So nobody saw this happen and they still believed it?
