"Satellite Center."  Just those two words together sounds so....Weather
Channel.  Local Access Cable.  1960s NASA.  Remember "Via Satellite?"  Ooo,
satellite.  Too bad only 7 has one of those.  I bet all of the other
stations would like one too.  Oh, well.  I have no other choice than to
watch the station with the "Satellite Center."
