Local cable company declares War On Books

One of Cable's best kept secrets is Book TV, which airs every weekend on C-Span2. Well it did, until Comcast began preempting it with baseball.
And thank God for that; for too long the MSM has clogged our airways with nothing but books, books, books. How much learning can this poor Baltimoron be expected to take?
I, for one, welcome our new sports overlords. I'd like to remind them that as a trusted local blogger, I can be helpful in rounding up others to toil in their underground souvenir caves.
For you book huggers out there, Comcast has, very quietly, offered the following: In an effort to address subscriber concerns, Comcast promised to air C-SPAN2 on a digital tier without interruption. Analog subscribers -- about one-half of the 2.2 million subscribers affected by Comcast's programming change -- may obtain digital boxes to receive C-SPAN2 at no extra programming charge.
“They will not need to change their level of service,” said Beth Bacha, vice president of communications for Comcast Cable’s Eastern division. Comcast will lease a digital set-top box “for at most $1,” she added.
