Very seldomly, a television was randomly turned on when
"Meet the Press" or "Crossfire" or similar was starting
but it did not remain on for very long.

watch local TV news though, because the local print media
is too spotty.
There are many famous people in the media world with whom
I am utterly unfamiliar.
