I've not really watched news on TV since the mid 90's.
Pretty much all I watch on TV is Fox (new House episodes) USA (for House reruns and Psych) Cartoon Network (Anime) and the SciFi channel. I have a DVR that lets me do a rapid skip through the commercials so that reduces the static. It also has acceleration of the content, (I typically run shows 30-40% faster than normal) so I can watch and hour long show in about 30 minutes.
