Wait, what happened in April and has changed again since?
That's really annoying. Do you think they'd notice you using your phone to change the station and possible remove Fox from the channel list? Is there windows in the building with the TVs? There are some high power IR blasters that might let you change it from outside.
That's right but it doesn't necessarily mean that access is impossible, just need the codes for the box instead of the TV assuming it has an infrared sensor on the box.
If you work someplace with public-facing tv's, the weather channel is a fucking godsend. If it's on a news station, entitled boomers will want it on their news station. If it's on weather, well, it's just the weather.
Oh you mean the woke channel that keeps insisting that this year is hotter than it was when I was growing up‽ Global warming is a socialist conspiracy and the weather channel is in on it! /s
From experience, that channel stays where you put it more reliably than any other. It's not merely inoffensive, it's bland. It draws attention away from itself.
When entitled people change the channel, they first have to register that there's even a tv present. The weather channel camouflages public televisions as bland information kiosks that dispense information you already have on your phone. Not only that, since no one would intentionally put on the weather channel, it has the air of being required by policy, so some of the karens who are capable of shame will leave it alone.
