I'm a little hazy here, but wasn't one of the tidbits that came out of Sept 
11th was that only 40% of New York City gets its TV via cable or 
satellite?  The rest were over-the-air reception.   Or maybe it was 60% 
cable/TV and 40% over-the-air.

Either way, that's several MILLION people still using rabbit ears...I call 
that "not dead quite yet".
