Early TV
You could get a TV but what are you going to watch?

In the early 1950s, everyone I knew had one TV. Color TV was popular starting about 1962. I still remember my comment when I first saw it. "So what. It is only color." Heathkit, Allied Radio, Eico, etc made these kits only for people who wanted to learn - to do new things - to innovate. Those who were not near TV transmitters then learned how to build antennas that could receive those signal. Innovators were always the target market. Within less than 10 years, every major city had multiple TV stations. Within 20 years, even small cities had one. |

Is this a good time to mention that Frontier does not deliver reliable broadband to rural PA?
