Right. Like any business that has any clue on marketing doesn't already target their services based on location, ethical makeup of a region, or income levels. |

Yes, they target you. Never saw so many commercials for women in my life.
My girlfriend, attends FSU in Tallahasse (I'm 15 years older than her), thought it was funny. She didn't know and said, "You watch Lifetime?" "No, my cat loves it and the targeted advertising loves it too." |

Satellite (I never plugged it into a phone line) or OTA digital is the way to get rid of that problem.
I suspect FiOS and AT&T also resell viewer info stats.
