Bruce Springsteen put it very well in his 1992 song "57 channels and nothin' on".
At that time of course we could only dream of 57 channels in the UK, now we are inundated with them!

Pink Floyd made a similar point in The Wall in 1979: 'Got thirteen channels of sh*t on the T.V. to choose from' ('Nobody Home').

Always remember Channel 4's excellent coverage of the Short-Kasparov match, and Carol Voderman having a hard time with Garry in the beginning of the match at times.

Sounds about as appealing as a junior chess summer camp run by Brian Ely
