We cut the cord yars ago and never looked back. We do NOT get all the news shows you are eternally grateful for - and that I am eternally grateful for NOT receiving. We do have a good digital antenna to pick up local broadcast channels, but there is nothing, really, worth watching and I hate, loathe, and despise commercials.
Our favorite streaming service is BritBox - their quiz and panel shows are hilarious as well as informative - along with PBS Passport, Discovery+, and a couple movie/series channels.
Television IS a vast wasteland, but there are a few oases out there if one looks.
The pause that refreshes will do you well. We need you fresh and spirted. Even hungry bears fill up and take a good rest. As for TV, lots of good stuff on it as long as you don't become addicted to cable news and the talking heads.
Sadly, I AM addicted to watching the news, and just a few of the talking heads, although, with the exception of Lawrence O'Donnell, I spend a lot of time fact checking in real time and yelling at the tv set. Sigh.
Darn, I can’t find a video clip of Goldie Hawn on Laugh-In saying ‘Whatcha doin, Marshall McKuhan!’ and giggling in her infectious, inimitable way.
THANKS for the memory!

You are a better person than I.
Whatever turns you on.
I'm a news junkie -- I watch, I read, I consider -- I cannot help myself! <Grin>
