What's On Antenna - Newsletter Oct 29, 2024
By Aadi Miglani
In my past newsletters, I’ve made it a point to circulate around a few channels on antenna TV to inform you of all the shows you can watch with no additional costs, paywalls, or streaming networks. Now, while I will be sure to go into more channels on your ZapperBox that you can peruse and find countless entertaining shows on such as ABC, NBC, and PBS kids, this week I want to take a break from the channel overviews and discuss why streaming services like Netflix and Max might not be everything they’re built up to be.
I find that I log into the streaming app excited to find a movie to watch, only to be overwhelmed with the sheer number of options and end up closing the app due to the overwhelming number of shows and movies available. I’m sure you’ve experienced this feeling of getting lost in the slew of streaming options as well. Having unlimited choice on platforms like Netflix will do you more harm than good, proving that the most effective and efficient way to find something you’d like to watch is on your grid guide, which you can find on your antenna TV.
On your grid guide, you can easily browse current shows and upcoming programming across multiple channels in a simple, organized format. Why waste time scrolling and scrolling through the insane number of options on a streaming app, when you can find something entertaining with only a few clicks and swipes on your antenna TV? Why get lost in the prehistoric Netflix content when you can find the most up to date, current entertainment on broadcast TV? These streaming services have way too much content that no one on the planet could get through in one lifetime. For a more focused, streamlined selection, you can just as easily visit channels like ABC, NBC, CBS, and Fox on your antenna TV and find a show or movie to settle on before you even sit down and press play.
Abbott Elementary is what everyone’s talking about right now as it continues its third season, but you can’t find that on Netflix. By watching the limited options on antenna tv, you can stay up to date with current culture and join in on conversations about popular shows airing right now. As the holidays are coming up, you will have something current to talk about from your time perusing NBC, instead of bringing up a tv show from eons ago that no one has ever heard of, which can only be watched on Max.
In short, streaming apps just simply have too much to sift through. On your antenna TV you can quickly find quality programming without the paradox of choice. Don’t get caught up in the mindless doomscrolling of streaming platforms with paywalls to find something entertaining. Use your antenna TV to access free, current content and stay connected to what’s popular on television right now. Or record all the shows you may want to watch in the future and build your own personalized library of shows that you own and never have to pay for.
