basic cable

Basic cable refers to a package of television channels provided through a cable TV service, often included in the standard subscription. It typically includes local broadcast stations (like ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS) and additional channels such as news, sports, and entertainment. Basic cable is delivered via a coaxial or fiber-optic cable connected to your home, offering a wide range of programming without the need for a satellite dish. It’s a cost-effective way to access essential channels, serving as the foundation for more premium or specialized cable packages.
