No such thing as Free BROADCAST TV

The amount of money spent on advertising over "Free" Broadcast TV adds over $600/year to the cost of living per capita in the U.S. via increased prices for goods purchased.
Have you ever seen a "Free" Broadcast TV station facility?
They didn't pull the constuction/operation money out of a hat.

uhhh, that was exactly my point. We had (actually, still have) free BROADCAST television, but most choose to pay for additional channels....

I think his point is that you still get ads on cable anyways - why are you paying for it?
