Certainly not me.

> Another question is who is watching TV at all?

Again, definitely not me.  Mine broke in July, 2002 at which point I
just said screw it.  It is still dead today.

All the crap that's on now is bad enough, but what did it for me is all
the bugs (logos) and other shit they now stick all over the screen while
the shows are running.

> Commercial radio is about as bad.

Worse.  I haven't listened to the radio in far longer.  When I was a kid
in SF (late 50s) radio was so good I wound up working in it.  Even now I
work on tv shows (sitcoms mostly)... but that doesn't mean I have to watch
any of it on my own time.
