I remember the early-1980s cable landscape, when the only "cable" channels were what we could call premium channels now: HBO, Showtime, Cinemax, The Movie Channel, etc.; all the other channels were local over-the-air stations.
- icedchai 8y agoWe got cable in 1981 and it was exactly this. None of the “cable” (premium) channels had ads. Some of them, like Nickelodeon, did add ads in the late 80’s.
