This week was the end for the last Analog-based broadcasting TV stations in the US. But by now, even the cheapest Senior Citizen has cable. I have to admit, it was an interesting system for as long as it lasted, since the Thirties yet it wasn’t feasible until the WWII era given there was still a worldwide economic Depression. Having been spoiled by cable for the majority of my life, I never really appreciate the joys traditional NTSC broadcasting. When we didn’t have the option, messing with the bunny ears on our TV was so annoying, you’d almost want to just stop watching and just go read a book.
Digital broadcasting finally took off over a decade ago yet I have to meet anyone who really bothers. The ubiquitous Internet has now given us streaming on demand which made the transition a waste.
Farewell NTSC. It was a great run!
Now our government will just had over another section of public property for pennies to some rich assholes.
