I don't see any of the home shopping channels, that surprised me. I don't see TCM listed (Turner Classic Movies).

INSP making the top 10 is a shock. I didn't think that network was well known. But they have sold out becoming an all western channel. INSP was a fun channel to watch when they aired obscure dramas like Our House and Wind at my Back. Also had Highway to Heaven and The Waltons. They briefly aired Happy Days but that was several years ago now. For awhile The Waltons still aired in afternoons outlasting all the others but even that has been taken away this year.

Accuweather. Assuming it's a weather map, 9000 people will sit and watch that? Particularly since you can pull up a weather map online.

Yes, when there are big storms coming.

I usually watch the local stations when a severe storm is in the area.

Maybe there's more than a radar map
