Due to the internet, I have oftentimes spend days or even weeks without using the television. In these times I actually watch, I usually go to straight to the news channel first. What channel do you usually go to when you turn on the tv?

Mine is usually set on the local ABC affiliate which is the one I prefer for news and weather. However, a few months ago they added having a seven day forecast and on the morning weather report they have this chime like music, associated with the stations identifying music, that comes on when they go to the seven day forecast. This chime thing is very annoying and it just points out that they are making a huge deal about having a seven day forecast but the problem with that is that at least one of the other local stations had had a seven day forecast for years before they did. It is like someone yelling, "hey look at me I came in second(maybe even third) in a three person race."

I'm a Fox News junkie, and even when I'm on the internet, I turn it on just to listen to it, lol. I can't stand Bill O' Reilly, though, and then my husband wants to watch his wrestling shows, so I think it's a good trade off, lol! I like some reality shows, too, such as Amazing Race. I hate medical or crime shows that are gory. There's too much of that stuff in the news for real, lol, so I don't like them.

I usually go right to Adult Swim but if not that then Comedy Central would probably be my second choice. Other then those two shows there aren't a whole lot of shows worth watching on tv.

I usually turn the TV to any music channel to wake me up and drag myself out of bed. If I'm going to be out and about all day I'll turn it to the new just to see whats its like out there.

Okay I admit it! The first channel I go to when I turn on the telvision is ESPN. And ESPN is usually the last channel I watch at night. I turn it to Sportscenter at night. I love sports. Now don't get me wrong. I'm a Project Runway fan and a romantic comedy kind of gal, but I love my sports!

Now that it is hockey playoff time , I will be going to ESPN or ESPN News. Before it was Bbc America or Encore, a movie channel.

No doubt about it.. It is HBO. I simply like to watch movies there especially the action war movies like "The Pacific" and others. I never had the chance to watch HBO again because we haven't paid the bills for our cable company. Oh well I think video streaming would be fine for now.
