We had 3 channels at the house. Granny was a mile up the road and she got 6 out of Birmingham and PBS on 25. Not sure why she could and we couldn't.
We got excited when 48 out of Huntsville added a taller antenna. We could pick it up better. And when Fox 54 came to Huntsville, my dad got all excited. "We're going to get all kinds of good movies," he said.
A TV was a piece of furniture back then too, in a big old wood or faux wood cabinet.
I watched more TV then than I do now. I've about give up on it. Except for college football in the fall.
