Ted Turner, the media maverick and philanthropist who founded CNN, a pioneering 24-hour network that revolutionized television news, died peacefully Wednesday, surrounded by his family, according to a news release from Turner Enterprises. He was 87.
I never understood the idea of calling it cable news?
Radio/TV antenna, Satellite and Cable, are merely different ways of distribution of similar content.
It would be the same as distinguishing papers on weather they are delivered by mail or kiosks.
Now everything is through Internet, so it’s even more stupid to separate between them.
I know that it used to be that somethings were legal on cable news that weren’t on over the air channels. Which again is also super moronic, and mostly due to childish regulation mostly based on Christian pearl clutching, where seeing a naked person is prohibited, but seeing brutal murders are not, but using a swear word while doing the killing is not?
Well Luckily the influence from USA is diminishing, so hopefully we will have less of such inconsistent idiotic double standards in the future.
because back then, your option for tv was… antenna. Period. Rabbit ears or an aerial on the chimney. (And yes, I am old enough to remember when the fancy tv options were available over an aerial with a motor on it, that you rotated to pick up different regional area broadcasts. Oooh!) If you wanted cable tv, you had to get an actual physical cable run to your house. All the other delivery options have now just sort of glommed on to the term “cable.”
Apparently you fail to get the point. That cable is just a different means to receive similar content. And that different laws for either are nonsensical.
They haven’t. Cable news is still CNN, Fox, etc. Streaming is streaming. Nobody calls their local broadcast station cable news, even though they likely get it via cable.
