Indeed, but during the time of the fairness doctrine cable was primarily used to watch broadcast networks, but without signal degradation. In other words, most of what people consumed on cable for the first 10-15 years of cable’s existence were broadcast network content. The doctrine could’ve been expanded to cover basic cable networks and 24/7 news instead of scrapped.
I’m not sure that’s true. You have to remember that when the fairness doctrine was still in force everyone got all of their information from broadcast. Even when cable first came on scene and got popular in the late '70s and early '80s, it was simply to improve how well you got your broadcast stations, and maybe give you a chance to have a few additional channels. The idea of basic cable took years before it took off.
The app store apps are a little janky still or now. I just started using wefwef.app (it’s a pwa. Just put wefwef.app in your browser) and it’s been the best so far. It’s a recreation of alien blue for iOS.
Same, but I’m maybe a little disappointed in how much horse riding I’m doing…
!remind me…awww now I’m sad.
