Yet---not to disagree with Ron on this, since I believe he is correct--we will be missing something that should be important to us. Local stations with local programming for community interest, musical interest, and finally, local weather and other such info.

Recently I was at my daughter's place which is serviced by Satellite TV (hundreds of channels of the same crapola) and many music channels---boring. Oh sure---category for all genres---and all mainstream. Where is the place there for newcomers, explanations by knowledgeable hosts, and such things? Nowhere.

Damn, Ron---here I thought size was what counted. I stand corrected---height. I guess it all depends on your perspective.

In fact, I know that and my understanding is that we are trying to enlarge the area of coverage.

   But--back to the original thought here on this thread. Wherever it is we hope that "folk","topical" and non commercial finds a home---my feeling just happens to be that it should be local and let the word spread.
