OP here. Thank you everyone for the input.
I have been without cable for 6 years and haven't missed live television except for the nightly news. I grew up watching the CBS evening news with Walter Cronkite, Dan Rather and Roger Mudd. DF and I watched the news every evening when we came in from doing farm chores and I miss it.
Thanks everyone.
Well if you have not seen the evening news lately you might want to watch it somewhere first. All of the major network evening news shows are probably more than half commercials now. It's awful how they tease you with upcoming segments that only get played after 3-4 rounds of commercials. The later part of the news is typically 1-2 minutes of news then 3 minutes of commercials. I have quit watching.
