[Dixielandjazz] FW: What we lack

[Larry Walton Entertainment - St. Louis]

Absolutely true about the ads and programs.  We sell what people buy.  If 
our programs are terrible then I would have to say that your peoples taste 
is yuck for buying and watching it.  TV sells to the lowest common 
denominator.  I also find a lot of the TV to be very objectionable  from a 
social and moral view.  We have such a wide variety that You can find 
something you like and simply not watch the rest.  I enjoy the history 
channel and PBS and a couple more that are similar along with Animal Planet. 
Between those several channels I can usually find something I like.  The 
only thing that's annoying is that I have to surf past some real junk.  Late 
night is pretty sparse though.

My son-in-law is a sports nut and watches the sports channels and I could 
care less so it's to each his own.

Having said all that PBS has some pretty good music programming.
