That said, for me at this point WMC is almost entirely a platform for watching golf -- PGA Tour on Golf Channel, CBS and NBC, and also DP World Tour events on Golf Channel. I think there are app possibilities for streaming some PGA Tour events, but I haven't researched options for international events and I probably won't. This is working fine. Paying for cable to do this one thing feels like overkill, but I really love golf on TV. No other sports.
Not counting the Olympics. We have used WMC to obsessively watch Olympics coverage -- record everything on broadcast and cable and savor it over months and months. But summer 2024 seems like a long way off, and the 2021 games and especially the 2022 games left me feeling unsettled, frankly. I think maybe the Olympics as they currently function aren't good for anyone. I may be done.
Still, I can't say my viewing habits have shifted to streaming along with the mainstream. Mainly I watch a lot less TV than I did a few years ago. I think the Covid lockdown marked the big shift, when the broadcast networks suspended new programming and suddenly there just wasn't much on, then and later. I had continued to seek out and enjoy new network shows till that time. "Evil" and "All Rise" were the last ones I followed.
But I look at the streaming options and I'm just like, meh. My husband watches tons of stuff on Netflix and HBO Max, so we have those and a few niche-y services, along with Prime. But nothing grabs me except old Cary Grant movies on HBO Max. I'm 51 and part of me doesn't feel like starting over with a new TV paradigm. I read a lot more books these days. Is it possible to age out of TV? It seems weird to say. When I was a kid in the '70s my grandparents knew nothing about new music or new movies but man did they watch a lot of TV.
In conclusion, I have no idea. Sorry, rambling.
