The subjects range from cruise related channels, non USA news channels, exercise channels, medical channels, Harry Potter, Space technology info, and local city channels.

One that you might like is https://www.youtube.com/c/Wendoverproductions
Description Wendover Productions is all about explaining how our world works. From travel, to economics, to geography, to marketing and more, every video will leave you with a little better understanding of our world. New videos go out every other Tuesday.
23 You-Tube subscriptions, wow. I think I'd lose track, lol. That's interesting!

Yeah, I like Wendover productions. Also, Secrets of Nature, or "Free Documentaries" mostly nature. I feel like I've been all over the world via these wonderful documentaries. They make my exercise pleasant and the time flies and maybe I even learn something!

How about Bob and Brad, "the most famous physical therapists on the Internet". They are a hoot, like a comedy team, but with useful PT info, especially for seniors.

Just a note for military active/retired, they also have an extensive library (I think all the branches combined) thought I do not use them very often. What cracked me up is on the first page of the AF when I signed up was a book on cooking with marijuana.

The Week, The Economist, The Nation. Haven't watch TV or TV News in many a year. Don't even own a TV set anymore. Could someone please tell me what I'm missing?

A whole lot of crud, and a few good shows/movies.

Some of the best tv programs/series ever produced. In fact, this era of television has even surpassed the 1950s as being designated as the "Golden Age" of tv.

I have Internet, Cable TV, and a land line from Spectrum. I subscribe to Netflix, Amazon Prime, Paramount plus, Cirrus radio, AOL, and AARP. I have a cell phone. These are the only "subscription" services I have. No magazines nor newspapers and 20 or so years ago I use to read 3 newspapers a day and had many magazine subscriptions.

Several of the 23 are "once in a while" uploads. Others I watch occasionally depending on their topic.

I forgot about Bob and Brad... I watched one of their videos a couple of days. I think they are on my subscribed list also.

tijlover, like yourself, I too no longer have a television. Currently a Kindle; Behold Israel.org, Amir Tsarfati, to keep current Biblical Prophecy, news of the world.

Secular, PBS, Antiques Roadshow, Finding Your Roots; Facebook, Brenda Gantt, a cook who lives in Andalusia, Alabama.

When I saw subscriptions, thought of magazines, newspapers. Remember Mom subscribing to a record club as well as a book club for me. Encourage me to read. Must of worked. Lost without something to read,.
