Make up three unusual ideas for new cable TV channels and talk about the kinds of programming they would offer. Number each one.
1. The Bird Watching Channel. On this channel, there are no words, only the sights and sounds of birds in trees. Every hour, the view will change to a different tree in a different state. Be sure to use the channel guide to see when your favorite state’s birds will be televised. This channel is great for leaving on to amuse your pet cats while you leave the house.

2. The Laundromat Reality Channel. This channel will feature reporters visiting different laundromats around the United States. They will conduct in-depth interviews with customers to discuss broader topics like, “Tell us about your life and how it is that you don’t have a washer and dryer in your home,” and also more specific topics like, “What brand of detergent are you using and why did you choose that particular brand?”

3. The Destruction Channel. If you enjoy seeing things get destroyed, you’ll enjoy this channel. For example, one program will be visiting various junkyards around the country and televising old cars getting crushed. Another program will show workers at a retailer crushing empty boxes. An “angry ex” program accepts submissions from viewers who caught on video angry exes destroying their former partner’s vehicles or other belongings with hammers or crowbars.
