  2. Re:The amount of money.... on US House Kills Proposed Delay For Digital TV Transition · · Score: 1

    You Sir have not gotten around much. Go to places like Fries Va. The newspaper is from a nearby town (Galax) and is printed once a week IIRC. the choices for weather info are local radio and TV. Cable is nice but was only recently made availble. So, I have to agree with: "TV is the primary source of news for a large amount of people."
