I don't know how old that is. I know it was on in 1998 when I had Angela.
We had cheap cable at home but it was crappy. We were living on a military
base and at that time our only option for cable was to go through this guy.
I paid $12 per month and I think that included HBO but other than that we
only got maybe 20 channels. One of those was the base channel that had
updates like telling us not to use the water. Of the extra channels we got,
most were sports channels. We might have gotten Lifetime.

After I had Angela, I kept the hospital channel on the Food Network round
the clock. I began to get annoyed because they kept repeating things but...
I was starving for some TV other than what I could get at home. Never was a
fan of the major networks.
