If that’s on the top of your list of things to worry about I feel sorry for you. Secondly you can’t hear them unless you plug into them

I used to go to Laural Manor Fitness center, and they would by request change a station. I asked them several times to change to the Golf Channel, no problem. Very friendly there.
Now that I am older and on Medicare, I go to MVP for free through my supplement plan F. They have a nice variety of TV's and also on the treadmills there are built in TV's with 40 channels. That is where I catch up on "Young and the Restless"

In today's polarizing media atmosphere is it really necessary to have the news on in The Village's fitness centers.

How about just putting on sports that more align with a gym atmosphere.
Talk to the operators of the gym.

I vote for one of those YouTube channels that just play classical music & show pretty pictures. No sound, but the pictures are usually lovely.

I'm not talking about people who complain on a daily basis but there is something called moderation and balance when it comes to what battles you're going to pick and I chose to pick this one.

Do you think slavery ended because people didn't complain, get real with your black and white and all or nothing thinking.
I think "stop while you are behind" may be coming into play.

We are so lucky that we need to find truly unimportant things to complain about.

At Seabreeze there is an old guy that does the treadmill only and when he comes in the door they switch one tv to the soap opera he likes with closed caption. Personally I am more interested in my workout and chatting with other people in the gym than watching anything on tv.
My dentist runs the food channel. Smart-building business?
