ESPN / Disney will have the SECHeat programming after

2024? So, they are trying to do like Facebook, and snuff out all competition. And, when OR BEFORE they do, the inevitable price hikes will come. We Amuricans love our sports, especially college football in the South, which is like an organized religion. They will have us all on the hook, and we will pay through the nose, even moreso than now. It's coming.
I still remember my dad's comment when the first huge satellite dishes came out, with pay TV.
"Man, who in Heyull is going to pay MONEY to watch TV, when there are THREE channels you can watch for free?" (For you young'ins, ,there was no FOX Network back then, only ABC, NBC, and CBS. PBS didn't count, since they were on that UHF wavelength that nobody's normal antenna picked up.)
How sad I am that dad was totally wrong about that.

scenario. If you believe live sports coverage will be better without ESPN i think you are sadly mistaken.

My father said the same thing about satellite radio

Why in the world would anyone spend their hard earned money to listen to the radio when there are dozens of stations that are totally free.
Of course, the ONLY THING he ever listened to on the radio was Paul Harvey.
An now you know the rest of the story !!!

I don't really remember a lot of bottled water being around in the 80's. I remember Perrier and Evian as well as a few others, but most of them were sparkling bubbling water as opposed to flat water.
Brands like Aquafina and Dasani didn't hit the market until the mid 90's.

The only stations you could get were from Florence, Charleston, and Wilmington. These were not dependable. We paid 5.00 per month for cable to make sure we could even get them and the three networks.
