Why I don't watch TV in Korea

I have a television in my apartment that gets more than 40 channels, but only two of them are in Korean. One is the BBC world news, which is informative if not scintillating. The other is the Armed Forces Network (AFN). AFN actually has several channels, such as AFN Sports, AFN News and AFN Spectrum. I only get AFN Prime. It's by far the worst of the options. So tonight, while other channels are showing the West Wing (I'm amazed this is on Armed Forces television), the Daily Show (ditto) and pro wrestling (less surprising), I get 7th Heaven and and the made-for-TV-movie "Locusts." Last week was "What Women Want," with Mel Gibson. There are literally thousands of channels they could borrow programming from, and I seem to get the stuff from Lifetime and the WB. Sweet.
