- Cable era, not cable. -- nm - Roger More Sep 11, 16:26 5
  - Then you need to define what the cable era is. Cable TV has existed, in some way, since the 40s. TBS and HBO started in the 70s. -- nm - Mop (199 lbs) Sep 11, 16:30 4
    - TBS was(is?) a superstation, along with WGN. -- nm - the liiouly with extra Sep 11, 16:38 3
      - That is distributed by cable and satellite. What's your point? It's moot anyway. HBO could be the birth of the cable era. That's *1972*! -- nm - Mop (199 lbs) Sep 11, 16:41 2
        
        Ubiquity matters. -- nm - David Sep 11, 16:46
        
        You're right. Just looked up the history of WGN and they became a superstation as a result of cable. -- nm - the liiouly with extra Sep 11, 16:45
Okay, that's probably the winner. -- nm - David Sep 11, 16:13 1
