OT-CSPAN-plus-Finn

Some decades ago, while in USA, with the habit to click forward at any commercial,
I mostly got stuck on CSPAN, as they did not have any commercials.

Later on CSPAN, after having bypassed the terrestrial monopoly by going both
satellite and cable (like CNN later on copied them), CSPAN additionally went
on Internet using real-video-and-audio.

Blessed be the days I could first time, once again, post-my-USA-days listen to
CSPAN-or-US-House-Senate-34-or-8kbps over the atlantic..

Note that Lamb definition "the anti-thesis of commercial TV"

Additionally, there has been some mythic wars on who and what cable-neighborhoods
should be able to watch CSPAN, maybe one reason they went Internet too??
