<p class="" data-start="194" data-end="676">One of the enduring appeals of Cable TV is its scheduled programming. Knowing that your favorite show airs at a specific time creates a sense of anticipation and routine &mdash; something streaming platforms have largely removed. This structured viewing experience helps viewers discover new content organically, through channel surfing, instead of endless scrolling. For many, scheduled shows provide a refreshing break from the overwhelming choice of on-demand content.
