It seems as if all the major cable TV stations are having difficulty coming up with new and fresh programming. Especially if you only watch a handful of channels.
Take the History Channel for instance. I do not think that they have had a fresh program on for years. SyFy runs the same movies constantly. FX and AMC does too. Turner classic movies is getting old too. No pun intended.
One has to think that he industry is in financial duress. As they are not producing any new programming. That is just with basic cable. Which I have to take to get internet. Even the expanded cable venues have a lot of repeats. With hundreds of channels you have to wonder how many people are employed by this industry. Thousands and thousands no doubt.
My favorite shows are available on over the air broadcast. I have eight PBS channels in my area. They offer a lot of programming diversity. Even channels for children. There are also a lot of other channels over the air as well. They repeat a lot of the same movies as well. About sixty channels are available over the air.
If you are so inclined the PBS channels carry a lot of BBC programming. Which I do like. Mostly the mysteries. Some of them set in the present day and others in the past. I like Father Brown, Midsummer Murders, Miss Fisher, Death In Paradise, Miss Marple and Scott and Bailey. There are also a lot of good drama series.
If you like arts and crafts, hobbies, cooking, home repair and travel PBS is for you. These channels can also be streamed on line if you do not live in an area with broadcast.
Get off the cable and check out your broadcast choices.
