You may not remember hell, you may not even have been born when Marshal McLuhan, a reputable, well-respected scholar, declared television a vast wasteland, bemoaning its hypnotic powers and its capacity for dummying-down important ideas. He was right, of course; he still is. A trip across the three hundred channels is still a lot like a road trip across North America on the I-70: You discover civilization's outposts are far fewer and much further between that you ever imagined, and all the rest is vacancy with road signs. A few of the quirky little roadside attractions are, however, pretty dazzling in their homespun way. For example, try SGTV in Seminole County, Florida. SGTV has just about everything Seminole County except alligator jerky. Naturally, SGTV airs live broadcasts of important government meetings and events, and it features on-demand rebroadcasts of the major policy-making discussions, debates, and votes. Unlike many government stations around the country, though, SGTV offers a full day's programming everyday everything from Jazzercise to environmental tips and tactics. For Seminole County visitors, SGTV offers comprehensive information about local landmarks and attractions, and for everyone in the greater Seminole County area, including its major tourist attractions, SGTV offers comprehensive, detailed weather information. Other channels may frustrate or disappoint, but SGTV is a great little outpost in the vast wasteland.

You have to be really old to remember when Spiro Agnew characterized American intellectuals as an effete corps of impudent snobs a mouthful in any age, but pretty accurate despite its prolixity. In those days, the impudent snobs urged, Kill your TV! Today, the snobs' grandchildren have commuted television's death sentence, condemning it instead to life on arcane, esoteric web-enabled channels like OCTT, Channel 13. Think of OCTT, Channel 13, as the official wonk channel, at least as much as the several CSPAN networks. In fact, in the digital age, OCTT may put the belt in beltway, because, if it is on or about or even vaguely related to DC cable television, it is regulated or broadcast by OCTT. Name a Congressional committee, no mater how obscure, and you will find its proceedings on-demand on OCTT. On any random day, you will find everything from the Committee on Human Services to hearings on Government Operations and the Environment. OCTT also manages the District's educational channels, and it offers its own original programming. Tune in every week for programs designed to teach you all about visiting, living in, or working in the nation's capital. OCTT empowers you to be as impudently snobbish as all your hardcore intellectual friends.
