Not so terrible at all, maybe need a new fix up.
You get two minutes of program and 10 minutes of that awful music and flashes from all the programming from law and order to feds. 😡
You put pro basketball on ION TV ch 1051. Put it on a sports channel and leave Friday night intertainment to those of us who don't like pro sports. That's what sports channels are for.
With all the other channels on TV you started stopping Law & Order every Saturday around 7pm to put sports on wth 🤨 Why would you do that when there's other
channels that already have sports,please put back Law & Order like it use to be, not everyone watches sports especially on Ion 😡
