At the end of the day they are only television channels and programmes and are completely transitory.
How many of the endlessly repeated shows now being being presented on a variety of channels were once the must see shows of their time and are now what we all endlessly flick through on our way to find something newer?
Which makes me wonder why so many are getting their panties in a twist over not having access to shows that will eventually air on a channel that they can view anyway? Why pay the extra cost to actually see something before anyone else?
