SC Public Radio's statewide network is experiencing intermittent outages and programming issues due to ongoing infrastructure upgrades. Our team is working to keep these disruptions to a minimum and to resolve issues that do arise. During broadcast outages, streaming on this site, the SCETV App, the NPR App, and smart speakers will remain unaffected.

Is Cable TV Recession-Proof?

STEVE INSKEEP, Host:

The attendant on duty could not figure out why the station was suddenly so busy. About 40 people abruptly took advantage of the mistake, and one customer was gleefully waving her receipt after filling up her Ford Expedition for $8.85. And that's the business news on Morning Edition from NPR News. I'm Steve Inskeep.

RENEE MONTAGNE, Host:

And Steve, you feel better than you sound, right?

INSKEEP: I feel just fine, Renee. Don't worry about me. I'm just working.

MONTAGNE: All right. And I'm Renee Montagne. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
