So 2007 is to be the beginning of what? It's tend of channels 2 through 13 as I see it. And the people in charge of the airwaves, the FCC, have seen fit to give this bandwidth to Broadband and Cell Phones. Well I wasn’t asked and I’ll bet a dollar to a doughnut that about ten million people across the United States that use their antenna atop their house were not asked either.
As I understood, “Commercial TV” was set up as a free service so that the commercials that interrupted the shows that played on it paid for those shows. So now they want us to pay them again? Commercials on TV have always sucked, plain and simple, but now the advertisers, along with the FCC, are taking control of our lives and people are just sitting back and taking this crap. There used to be a fine line between cable TV and Commercial TV and now they’re beginning to mix. Here are a couple of examples:
A) Not long ago there was only Robert Osborne in between each movie on TCM, now there’s commercials and he's got a helper too. the helper is ok but we do not need commercials self-seving or not.
B) They used to go directly to each movie on a “PAY CHANNEL” and now we all have to watch these stupid self-serving commercials, on a pay station!
C) As stated above, and I can’t stress this enough, commercial TV was set up as a free service so that the commercials that ran on it paid for the content. So why is cable TV running commercials when we all pay for cable TV? We are being double billed people, wake up!!
You see, who ever is in charge is counting on YOU and me just shining this on or letting this fly over our heads. It’s time that someone do something and at least I can start by letting people know. Next up, Carburetors and how we can all get 60 to 70 miles to a gallon again, if you have the guts!
That was the Lazlo Report for January 1st, 2007
