flicked on the idiotbox and discovered the preposterous! destiny cable has moved the BBC to far off channel 53. yes. it has taken the most intelligent channel on the idiotbox and moved it even further than TV5monde (french channel) and TVE (spanish channel (both faves of mine). apart from its usual post at 44 with cnn-41(duuuhhhhh!) and fox-42 (F*CKS!)
first they took out the all-football channel in 2006, a despicable move i haven't gotten over. then they lost espn-star (that they later regained). they made me pay extra for the mandarin movie channel that used to be free. and now this. i don't give a f*ck if destiny has 2nd ave or that it doesn't have star world and star movies or cinemax. i really don't. i couldn't care less. i sorrowfully stayed with destiny despite of the all-football supersports channel getting dismissed. i stayed because it still had fashion TV (also at a distant channel, but hey, i can understand big-girl sensitivities). i stayed and consoled myself with the history and the biography channels (ALSO at far-off channels)
sure, what's to complain about, it's just a different flick on the remote. the point is, moving the BBC to 53 has nothing to do with the remote. it simply shows that majority of destiny cable viewers prefer sensationalist-shallow news reporting that is CNN and absurd-pseudo journalism that is fox. what is despicable is that destiny cable's programming sensibility has gone the way of gma and abs-cbn.
i shall console (disillusion?) myself with the reasoning that they had to move the BBC to 53 AWAAAAAAAYYYY from cnn and fox because it is. in content, style, language and presence. eons apart.
