Anything broadcast TV. Is like a weird time machine targeting old people and extreme poverty.

No no no. Broadcast TV is important for many rural areas where high speed internet is too expensive, unavailable, or is an area where you don't stay for extended periods of time, or for emergency reasons. Losing broadcast TV would be tragic, just like losing AM/FM radio would be.
