Response to Original message |
| 76. Recently I have requested 3 businesses change their TVs; |
|
From Fox to another channel. One said he did not know what channel CNN was and I waited until he flipped through the cable selections and got it there. Another did as soon as I asked and the third was at my credit union. It was tuned to Fox Business and they said they would change it to CNBC or Bloomberg (neither great choices but anything but...).
