I live in a rural area where there is no cable tv, and I can only get
one antenna channel. This sucks, but you get used to it, and I dont
watch enough tv to justify the cost of a sattellite dish.
But the thing that gets me, is that this channel plays infomercials
all night long, starting at 1:00 am. If this isnt bad enough, they
play the SAME infomercials every night.
I often wonder what the point is? I soubt anyone watches them,
especially since its the same one every night. The station can not be
making much money from these things, because no one watches them.
I stay up late, and would like to watch some useful programming. I'd
be much more inclined to watch a regular commercial sandwiched into a
movie or something, because I'd have the tv turned on. Right now, I
shut it off as soon as the first infomercial starts, or I watch a
video.
I think the station would do better to go off the air, than play those
things over and over and over. Even of they got a variety of the
infomarcials would be an improvement, but I still dont watch them. I
wonder how much electriity and equipment they burn up showing that
trash that nobody watches.
