For the fine folks of beautiful Kansas City, the Archdiocese of Kansas City in Kansas has posted a notice that Time Warner Cable will be dedicating their Channel 5 MetNet to His Holiness, Pope Benedict XVI. Popeavision will run 17.5 hours a day, and hopefully won't stink. I've always wondered what the seemingly useless MetNet was for, apparently they were holding it for the Pope.
I remember as a kid that EWTN was on the standard cable package, but I didn't watch it. These days, you have to pay extra for the fancy extended channels-- we just don't think it's worth it to us. I kind of doubt that I'd watch much EWTN if it were on my tube today. But it's nice that we Catholic Americans can get some good comprehensive coverage of the Pope's trip to the USA.

We also don't buy cable channels because we just don't have time to watch them. I can only imagine now many more things I would not get done if I watched cable. EWTN streams live over the internet, if you want to check it out.
