My family got cable for the first time in 1973 so that we could watch some of the Buffalo Sabres' and Buffalo Braves' home games. (30 or so road games were on over-the-air TV.)  I recall we got NBC, CBS, ABC, an independent station, PBS, CBC, CTV, a Canadian independent station, TVOntario, local programming, the local sports channel, and a channel to broadcast national programming that was pre-empted locally. All that for $5 a month ($26.43 now). We got rid of it in 1976 after about 20% inflation and the OPEC oil embargo badly damaged the US economy and out spending power.
