I rarely watch TV anymore for two reasons. I hate the endless commercials if I can actually find something that interests me. I also seem to catch everything on a rerun!
How about you?
When I get tired of AM, I will pop around to other sites of interest or go find something on Youtube.
I keep telling myself it's time to lessen my computer time and just pick up a freaking book again. I was always a voracious reader and I find I lose a lot of time on the laptop.
I'm on year 20 with no TV.
This was meant for Durdle
I only watch the news. For everything else there's internet.
Less. I used to watch TV when I would now work on a new character, or spend time helping my children with homework or a new discovery
Same as you, too many adverts and not enough tv. What there is is often cut to about 30-40 minutes for an hours show due to recaps after adverts. I suppose there are people that can't remember what they watched before the break? For me, PBS is better, I love the British shows.
BBC Radio Three broadcasts live in the UK, the annual season of operas from the Metropolitan Opera House in New York. The main presenter there is Margaret Juntwaite (Apologies if my spelling's wrong.)
Mercifully there are no advertising breaks at inopportune times. There is one near the start , when in the UK we are given additional background information about the opera and its production. I don't know if the US broadcasters insert advertisements during the normal interval, but we hear a friendly opera quiz show with a panel of singers and musicians; and also from New York. I don't know if is recorded at some time before the opera.
The BBC does though, credit the MOH's sponsors, most of whom seem to be memorial foundations.
The broadcast is, they tell us, by a special arrangement through the international exchange scheme called the European Broadcasting Union. I don't know if the MOH's operas are similarly broadcast in other countries.
I am certain that they didn't even have this many commercials a few years ago.
I still remember when cable TV came out with the promise of commercial free tv for a fee. The fees have gone way up and the commercials are worse than ever.
