Change will happen when people cut the cord

-

I feel strongly that cutting the cord is a good thing to do. I cut that cord from all TV 20 years ago. Even then, the price of service and the annoyance of more and more invasive advertisin­g, made me not want to watch. At first I would watch my favorite show then turn off the set so I would not be pulled into watching the next and the next. Soon I found I didn’t miss it at all.

Today, I cannot tolerate being around a TV turned to a commercial channel. I subscribe to Netflix and watch movies and TV series that I like, commercial free, and it only costs about $10/month. I read news online and don’t miss the never ending cable news rehashes and “shouting heads.” Change will only happen if enough viewers cut the cord. TOM GILLESPIE Yuma
