Now we are all dependant on Cable or Streaming. By that time, everyone was hooked on Cable since it gave a clear reception without the free air wave snow.

Later, we were paying for commerical free cable but with commercials. Once cable got their hooks into everyone, the commericals started to slowly appear again. No commercials was the clincher to subscribe to Cable TV. Then came along Cable TV that gave you the same without the commercials or the antennae. The further away you lived, the bigger or higher your antennae had to be. The irony is that the major networks were all free (with commercials) and accessible to anyone with an Antennae.
