Re: No "Local on the 8s" on Weather Channel

McDonalds, Starbucks, et. al. are starting to feel the pinch. It's only a matter of time...

Cable TV is a has-been technology. Soon it will be as irrelevant as gas lights. You should have seen this year's NAB convention TV floor. The people who produce television know it and are moving on.

The biggest thing people are shooting for are bundle packages. Until DSL can become available everywhere or U-Verse, cable still has a chance. Take for instance this township, Armstrong Cable just implemented fiber optics throughout. Not many of us qualify for DSL. People want the broadband more than anything. I'm starting to find even some older friends and relatives are sick of their dial-up now that the pricing for broadband on both sides are within reason. But it's cheaper for them to have phone, TV, broadband on one bill. That is why cable still competes, where the telco can't.
