I’ve worked at a TV station for almost 30 years. Once I worked a phone bank during the digital transition, when we were about to shut off the analog transmitter for good. We were there fielding questions for viewers trying to find the “new” digital channel 35. Remember, this was all the FCC’s idea, moving broadcast TV to a different (narrower) part of the spectrum so they had bandwidth to sell to the telecoms. Anyway, I took a phone call, and a seriously dangerous-sounding voice said, “You want to explain to me how the guv-mint can force me to buy a new TV?” I said, “Sir, the government OWNS the airwaves.” I’m sure that answer was not in the least bit satisfactory.
If the commenter thinks the news reader needs therapy what does that say about the news makers? Serious long term mental hospitalization seems about right for most of them.
