I'm not much for watching TV. My wife is the TV watcher in our house.

Lately she's been watching this channel called CMT. The channel only has one program. It's back to back, round the clock replays of the old Cheers program.

Not shure what the CMT stands for. Must be something like Cheers Mega time.

CMT is one of those networks that changed focus, originally starting as a Country Music themed channel as "Country Music Television". Now it's mostly shows that have nothing to with country music, with a block of country music videos every morning.

Like The Weather Channel. Last year when we stopped for the night in Kentucky, on our way to Florida, I turned on the weather channel to see what I'd be driving through the next day.

They weren't doing the weather. They were running a reality program loosley connected to the weather. (Truckers driving in the winter.)

Yeah, TWC has been this way since the late 2000s.

Same with me. While the meteorologists aren't bad today, they had some of the best ones back in the day.

Bedford Cable had that exact screen for the local forecast and I remember going to see family in South Carolina, same thing. However, my at my Grandparents house in Toledo, they had more of an updated local forecast screen with maps and everything.

TCI in Northern MI also. I believe that screen is either WeatherStar II or III
