    I remember when the advent of cable was brought the promise of more viewing choices. Instead, we have seen the growth of conglomerates that pass their programming from one channel to another and back again. Is anything exclusive or special anymore? I question the value of the expense for cable television. I am waiting for the AMERICA’S NEXT TOP MODEL channel. That series is rerun everywhere ad nauseum!
