Broadcast TV is still free. Movies always cost a fair amount of money.

An internet connection with youtube is $30 which is WAY more variety than "back then".

Mmm. Yeah, I get loads of value from Univision and Home Shopping Channels like HSN, QVC and the others.

Can't forget Qubo and Me.tv. Good times, for sure.

Also, I'm suspecting you're not a Spanish speaker, so I guess it's okay to discount a channel that over 10% of the US has utility for.

Cable TV is a relatively recent invention, has quickly declining subscription rates, and has always been billed as premium.
