Some people have had it with TV. They've had enough of the 100-plus channel universe. They don't like timing their lives around network show schedules. They're tired of $100-plus monthly bills.
A growing number of them have stopped paying for cable and satellite TV service, and don't even use an antenna to get free signals over the air. These people are watching shows and movies on the Internet, sometimes via cellphone connections. Last month, the Nielsen Co. started labeling people in this group "Zero TV" households, because they fall outside the traditional definition of a TV home. There are 5 million of these residences in the U.S., up from 2 million in 2007.

WE ALL SHOULD BE WORRIED ABOUT WHAT BROADCASTERS ARE GOING TO DO ABOUT THIS.
LIKE I SAID, BROADCASTERS WERE CONCERNED BACK IN 1980 WHEN CABLE UPSTART HAD HBO'S RATINGS RISING AND THEIR'S DECLINING. THEN CAME THE WORLDWIDEWEB AND WHAT A WEB IT IS TODAY.
AND RECENTLY THE FCC WILL ALLOW NUDITY AND LANGUAGE OF THE GUTTER.
We're all caught in it pushing the entertainment drug down our throats.
After all these thousands of years we are no different than the Romans.
Hey, the more things change the more they are the same.
We have massage parlors, Kick Box fighting in a cage, sexual madness and homosexuality. Sex scandals of once honorable men and women. Divorce, abortion for the convenience of a career.
Oh, there's more just think for a moment. Well, Scripture tells us there is so much more:
“Difficult Times Will Come”
But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come. For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; Avoid such men as these. (2 Timothy 3:1-5)
All of the above is the product of who we are as a people. America has become a secular nation with many gods... immoral of the kind that John Adams told us cannot survive.
