Toby: Threaten your cable company with going to a competitor! (Sorry, couldn't resist!) On Long Island, NY, we get Bloomberg as well as CNBC. It's interesting and different albeit a very busy looking screen. I'll switch over to it once in a while (especially during CNBC commercials) to get different perspectives. They print out the entire names of companies so you don't have to know the ticker symbols -- a nice feature. They do specific segments on analyst gradings -- helpful. I'm glad to have both channels. I'd suggest you just keep asking for the channel and get your friends to do the same. (Of course, it'll all depend on good ole' $$$$$$$$.) Good luck!
