Don't you love how in these high stakes contract negotiations the viewers are always the ones who get the shaft!

It is mind boggling. I'm sure dish is losing tons of business in my area. This is not the time of year to block channels.

As an Indiana born and raised old-timer, makes me long for the days when we could watch all the IU games on Channel 4!

 

Yes---Channel 4 --sponsored by State Farm Insurance---the mop lady sings and the whole nine yards!

 

Life was sure a whole lot more simple when the only thing to watch was IU Basketball!

My jr. high coach used to drive me to a bowling alley in Warsaw to watch the games. It was the closest place to South Bend/Mishawaka that carried channel 4.

I would have to go outside and move the antenna and my wife would scream at me with a different kind of scream than usual when I had a signal that was only 50% snow. Used to love hearing Fish doing the games. Man those were the days.

Brings back great memories!

 

Sometimes dad made one of us boys grab and hold the rabbit ears on the TV during the IU games just to make sure we had the best reception possible!

For my wedding gift, my dad bought me a tower and antenna with a motor so i could turn the antenna from inside. Best gift i ever had. A side note on my wedding night i watched IU VS UK and was never forgiven.

There was no way of recording the game back then. She had to understand.

I remember my grandpa having me do the same thing. Then sitting in his basement next to an old wood burning stove. Best memories of grandpa and biggest reason I'm a Hoosier fan today.

I think I read where he said they suck and should blow up their program.
